It’s just not there -

Well if you follow Melinda from http://merrywindfarm.blogspot.com/ you would know how I feel…It could have been me that posted her words.  She said exactly what I was going to say – that is why you have not heard from me in over a month.
IT’S JUST NOT THERE!!!  I can’t think of anything interesting to post about…nothing new has happened….Christmas was ‘normal’…New Years – nothing special.  Haven’t purchased anything new and no plans to do anything.
So there you have my blog post in a nutshell…lol  BORING!!!

We did have our Christmas with Miranda a week ago Friday. She was very sick on Christmas so her and MaryAnn didn’t make it .  It took her about 2 weeks to feel good.
She had fun opening along with big brother Aidan helping her.
 

Her favorite gift was the doll we bought in PA

For lunch we had home-made pizza 
I have been making this recipe since our adult boys were tiny.
You can find my recipe here:

New Year’s Eve Doug had his once a year Crab Legs.
I think it was overkill on the amount he had but he put a big dent in it.

Our JB sofa left this week to be reupholstered – finally.
We were so fortunate to find someone right here in town who does it.
She said it should be a couple months – it’s going to be a loooong 2 months waiting.
We are torn though if it will go back in the den area where there is a love seat and the desk or put back in the family room and sell the leather sofa.  It’s really a hard call.  Doug loves the leather but he also liked his fabric sofa. And….I love how it opened up the den.  We put one of the chairs from the family room in its place along with a small table and crocks for magazines and a floor lamp.  Makes a nice reading area.  But I do need to put something different on the wall and put this bowl box on a smaller wall.

Now here’s the sofa that is out  to get a new look….see how it takes up the entire wall.

And the new fabric….

This is the chair covered in it….

I have done nothing with my everyday house decor – after taking down the Christmas things and cleaning the house I didn’t feel like lugging things back up from the basement so it stays bare.  I don’t know what I want to fill the spaces with.  Friday I went to the basement and organized all the everyday decorative things and could not find one thing to bring back up….and maybe that’s not a bad thing.  But the fireplace mantle has nothing on it so that is necessary.  The rest it doesn’t matter much.  I’m happy looking at ‘nothing’ (as well as cleaning it all).

So – today is a day of NOTHING – but my head says I need to do ‘something’.
Not sure where that will take me – possibly rug hooking or reading or maybe a bit of both – I can’t do just one of those for the entire day….I need to break it up.

I don’t know how to go about ‘catching up’ on all my friends blogs.
As you probably know I have not been on since before Christmas so there is a lot to catch up on and I don’t know if I can sit long enough to read all the way back on everyone’s blogs so if I just go to your current post on then keep up from there is it okay with you???

I forgot to mention this…
I am going to be selling some of my wool felt and other craft supplies.
It will be on my KM Primitives blog at some point.
I have to organize and take pictures yet.
