It has been a couple of weeks since I have posted. I found myself during the cold weather, hibernating like most of you staying warm & out of the cold & snow. Since the temps are moving back up to digits that begin with a 3 or this week a 4 , I am slightly moving a little more.I have been enjoying reading about everyone's creativity and seeing their projects. I have started a room that needs wallpaper stripped. Not finished with that yet. The latest events in the world ; Haiti, has caught my attention. I have been spending time with friends and enjoying dinners with them. Playing Wii with family and friends, and exercising some muscles that have also hibernated for the winter . Since turning 50 this past year, I find my body is changing greatly. The mattress on the bed is not as accomodating as it once was. A tempur -pedic is catching my eye & hopefully my back soon. Does anyone out there have one of these mattresses? Really seriously considering buying one or the matress pad, as our bed is not that old.
Just wondering if there are some "Masterpiece Classic Theater" fans out there. Did anyone watched "Return to Cranford"? A movie about a romantic little town and the lives of the people in it. It really started last year with "Cranford", with Dame Judi Dench. Highly recommend it. This Sunday , will be Jane Austins, "Emma." I will be tuned in.
The pictures are just a few vignettes around my house. The cabins, we made several years ago. Below are some of my old collections. They are old and kinda rusty, love them very much.

Oh I loved Cranford..going to go and set this up on my DVR to watch these..thanks for the tip..:) I love masterpiece theatre..;)I loved watching upstairs/downstairs..did you see that one? glad you are back I have missed you..we have one of the air mattress beds that have the seperate chambers...it is not the numbers one..it is called Nautilis I believe..we like it cause we can make it as firm or soft as we want.:) and we also have a temper pedic pad in it as well..(I think this was seperate)...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Emma on Sunday night! I love all things Jane Austen or course Mr. Darcy is my favorite character. But I will enjoy Emma and Mr. Knightley this weekend. ~Ann
ReplyDeleteHey Kim...
ReplyDeleteGlad you've been watching too!!!
Your right about a lot of us out there in 'Blogland' tuning into Masterpiece on Sunday nights...AND I'm happy to beable to watch on my computer if I happen to fall asleep OR just watch it again...
I also will be tuning into 'Emma' this Sunday...
You guys did such a wonderful job on your Cabins.
I have a mattress that has the pillow top on both sides. Now for me, it's just like sinking into a cloud. Not good for some but me, Ohhhhhhhh, like Heaven...(and I'm older than you!!!)

Hello~Thanks for dropping by my blog! Yes, I'm definitely a Jane Austin fan and Masterpiece theater too! I just can't decide which to choose as my favorite..Mr. Knightly or Mr. Darcy? I love them both! (: I too would love a new mattress! We have friends that have a rubber mattress..don't know the brand name(they ordered it on the internet) but it is absolutely wonderful! Good luck! Oh! we are very close in age...I will be turning that magic number later this year...I'm trying to get ready..mentally...that's also a problem!(:
ReplyDeleteWhen you consider the alternative, I should be very happy to turn 50-right?! ha! ~Kathy
I love, love, love your log cabins! They are as prim as can be. Hope you find just the right mattress, we just a feather bed on top of ours and it really helps. Dawn

Thanks for the Cranford tip, xoxo~Kathy @ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
ReplyDeleteOh, I wanted to see all the Cranford shows, but it wasn't broadcast in my area. But oddly enough, Emma WAS! I watched the second half of it last night adn hope the see the rest. I didn't think I would get it either, so I watched something else for the first hour, darn it!
ReplyDeleteI love your rusty collections and your little log cabins, So sweet!
Have a great week!
Count me in as a fan of Cranford and the Emma series too. I just get lost in them and could watch them over and over.
ReplyDeleteLove your log cabins too.
