Coming Up Roses

 

One of the things that matters to us as we nestle in to knit or crochet is what our surroundings look like. Right? Well, my new chair is positioned not in the living room {like one might suspect} but in the dining room. I know ~ seems odd. But, actually, this is probably my favorite room of the house. It's rather ecclectic. So many of my most beloved treasures live in this room that I just love to sit in here and look around sometimes. And now I can rest between stitches and do just that! So here is just a little tour of a few of my favorite things ~

My corner china cabinet. It was my mother's when I was a child. She gave it to me when I was first married and I removed the doors, painted it white and pasted pretty rose wallpaper border to the background.

There are 2 things you can tell about me the minute you enter my home ~

1) I am crazy about ROSES {and PINK}!

2) I am NOT  a "less is more" kinda Girl!

Here's a pretty rose covered clock that helps me keep track of the time {lest I get lost in my knitting and forget ALL else!}

And this is the view above my desk where my laptop sits. Yes ~ even my desk and computer have their home in my dining room! Can you see why I LOVE this room?

Not to mention this is where we gather to eat and laugh and play games as a FAMILY and Monday nights I fill the dining room table with a gaggle of Girls and Yarn for Knit Night!

Who wouldn't love this room?!

Afterall ~ It's coming up roses everywhere I look :)

 

I am a firm believer in surrounding ourselves in the things that inspire us not only to create, but to relax and enjoy the journey of life with those we love. And to have peace within ourselves.

I wish you all a week filled with great inspiration, deep peace and abiding love.
