Relaxing the day away

It was such a great day today….reached 82 but the breeze kept it nice and comfortable.

So I grunged some gold wool felt for my Penny Rugs so I can continue to make my Daisy and Bee Skeep Rugs which I finished another one today – it’s a 10 x 24 runner with the same design as last weeks round one.

So there you have my ‘other latest’ Penny Rug

What can I say…..I’m spoiled!
Yep….who wouldn’t be with this to lounge in – finally got the camera out to take pictures of the ‘clean’ screen room….it normally last for about a week and then the webbies start showing behind the furniture like sparkling little jewels in the sunlight….too bad I can’t cash them in – I’d make a fortune!

Here’s a little a little visit to my ‘clean’ screen room…..
Oh…the ugly cushion in the chair…that is there for Lola to sit on….that way I can just pick it up and put it away when company comes and not have to use the lint roller for her fuzzies

  1. Thank you for the visit to your lovely and clean sun room, it looks so inviting and warm. We have a sun room also and it is a wonderful place to sip and sip ice tea in the summer time.

  16. Hi Karen,
    I love your screened in room! It looks so inviting and relaxing! Love the photo will all the birdhouses!!
    You had ask me what the difference is between a pet screen and a regular one. The pet screen wire is made thicker or courser so that if your pet paws at it...the screen won't get damaged or rip. They also told us that if a child pushed on it...it is strong enough that it won't break, so the child can't fall through. I'm sure my little grandson will put it to the test when he gets old enough to start walking.
