Christmas 2021- still working on it

Anyone/ Everyone else

discombobulated?

I am struggling to maintain-

everything

Decided to tweak the master bedroom.

I already have that brown shade in the new blanket

and throw in other parts of the room.

Brown ( that brown) checked curtains 

and new rods on the way.

That shade of brown is apparent in nearly every room.

It all stems back to my beloved pie cupboard I refinished with

my dad when I was 12.

All the pillows are pretty much for Walter's benefit,

as he loves to root and hide in them.

There is the cupboard far left back in dining area

That shade is now everywhere.

Tabletop, rug, lamps, baskets, even the gourds!

Wonderful hand made snowman gift from a wonderful blog friend

pennyrugsandmore

I picture him as the town crier 

or lamp lighter in my wee village

Still making last minute cards

Shipped these heavy corbels cross country to another blogger friend.

Aren't they wonderful?

My hope for 2022

I managed 3 trips to CA in 2021

and each one was a mess of small totes and carry ons.

My hope is 2022 will be easier travel.

I sold my large "plane appropriate" bags many years ago.

So with a great sale going on, and knowing 

they only had to survive car trips, I grabbed some new.

Countdown to kids arrival begins.

Small Christmas this year so very little wrapping.

Baking my mom's chocolate cake next week for her post-birthday 

by request from DD.

Baked my annual pepparkakor for Thanksgiving,

in shape of fall leaves,

but not baking anything else.

Kids are no longer big sweet eaters 

and I am not allowed so..

DD is now vegetarian full time

so no standing rib roast and yorkshire pudding either-

it'll be a different holiday in that way also.

Change is fine

All I want is those dear faces in my home,

with the fire burning, the glasses and stomachs full,

and the stories and love shared.
