Weekend Whatnots

I really enjoyed reading the comments to last Friday’s Weekend Whatnots and what everyone was planning on doing over the weekend….so I am going to do it again!

It is Valentine’s day on Saturday…..do you have Valentine’s day plans? I am not sure what we are doing yet…….

I checked the weather for our area and it looks like we may have a little rain…..but I may try to work out in the yard….

I need to sit down and finish working on taxes (ugh)….  I like to get them done “early” and out of the way…. and I told the kids I would help them with theirs….

 What are you planning to do this wonderful weekend?

2/12 Tablescape Thursday

Let’s go into the dining room and find a place to sit down and join me in Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan and her blog Between Naps on the Porch.

I decided to do one more wintery table….

White snowflake placemats…..

Blue dishes….

and white Spode Jewel salad plate….

along with white napkins and silver…and a few snowflakes scattered on the table!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting my Tablescape Thursday and don't forget to visit Susan's blog Between Naps on the Porch to see more wonderful table settings!

2/11 Outdoor Wednesday

Today is the “Outdoor Wednesday”. What is “Outdoor Wednesday”?

Every Wednesday participants will be posting pictures of anything outdoor on their blog.  It can be something outside of your home such as your porch, deck, patio, garden or lawn. Your photo can be outdoor shots of the beach, forest or mountains. (We don’t want to exclude anyone who might not have a yard). Or, you could simply post pictures of a favorite plant or flower. Only rule is it has to be outside!

To participate:

1. POST- Post your outdoor photos and the Outdoor Wednesday logo/button on your blog and link back to  http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/ so that others will be able to find all the links to other Outdoor Wednesday posts.

2. (Optional) PLACE LOGO - Place the Outdoor Wednesday logo/button on the sidebar of your blog. It lets others know you will be participating in future Outdoor Wednesdays.

Reminder: Do NOT link in until after your post is up.

3. LINK NAME & PERMALINK- Go to A Southern Daydreamer and enter your name and the Permalink to your post (NOT your general blog address) in “Mr.. Linky”.

• Why use a permalink instead of your general blog address? A permalink points to a specific blog post after it has passed from the front page to the archives. It will make it easier for readers to find your Outdoor Wednesday posts whenever they get a chance to visit.
• To create a Permalink: Either 1) right click on Outdoor Wednesday post and “Copy Shortcut/Link Location” or 2) click on your Outdoor Wednesday post title and copy the URL from the http window.
• Copy your permalink into “Mr.. Linky” URL box next to your name and select ENTER. You are finished. You should see your name listed on my site.

The weather was beautiful this past weekend so I took some photos at the “new” mall. The flowers at the entry…..

and the trees are starting to get blooms…….

but my favorite are the bronze statues throughout the area…. like these two in the courtyard…..

and this one by Barnes & Noble……

a better picture of the previous one…..

 

Don’t you wish this one was you?

and isn’t this one cute?

and finally, flowers by the exit!

Three or More Tuesday

Tam at The Gypsy’s Corner is the hostess for “Three or More Tuesday” (clicking on the logo on the right will take you to her site)

I have been trying to add a little “Spring” here and there in my house. I gathered three candlesticks and added lavender candles and put them on top of the entertainment center in the master bedroom. I needed something else…so I grabbed a blue/white planter and some purple silk flowers…and voila! Now, when I go to sleep at night or wake in the morning…one of the first things I will see is a glimpse of Spring! (The photo doesn’t do it justice…… I’ll get better at taking pictures with more practice!)

Thanks for visiting my blog. Visit Tam at The Gypsy’s Corner. for more Three or More Tuesday participants.

Reminder: Come back on Wednesday for “Outdoor Wednesday”! (Post will be up by 11:00 pm EST on Tuesday night) To learn More about Outdoor Wednesday visit HERE.

Blue Monday

It’s time for Blue Monday hosted by Sally at Smiling Sally. Don’t forget to visit her site to see links to more participants!

Today I am going to share some of my needlework with some blue in it!

The first two are designs by Chatelaine Designs (Martina Weber). Both are large pieces and took over 100 hours each to do. (both are at the framers being framed)

 

Angel of Love by Lavender & Lace had over 4000 beads. I stitched for my Mom’s 70th birthday.

Angel of Christmas by Lavender & Lace. I did in blues, rather than red/greens. I stitched her in honor of a nurse/friend named Janet who touched my life more than she will ever know…..

and the final two were “quick” (in comparison to the others). Both are designs by Just Nan

Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog …… Have a great day!
