Bedroom Daydreaming

Daydreaming




Here's some mid-week inspiration for my bedroom.  I'd love to introduce some new textiles and colors to our bedroom.  And of course a little houseplant!

Sweater Weather



I've been going on a mad dash to clean and organize the whole house.  Why the rush?  Really there isn't one besides just wanting the house to be beautiful.  Or maybe it's the cold weather that is creeping up on us.  I know everyone always focuses on spring cleaning, but autumn cleaning is just as important.  Especially because we'll be closing up the windows for the cold winter that's coming.

Part of the organizing is making lots of lists.  I love lists.  I make them practically everyday and get a strange rush from crossing off things that have been done.  Since it's finally getting chilly around here, we made a list for all the fall fun that we want to have this year.  We want to make sure that we savor all that this time of year has to offer.

P.S. Here's my fab new notebook for making lists.

Fresh Grape Juice


Step 1: Pick grapes


Step 2: Stem the grapes and rinse in cold water


Step 3: Smush the grapes with a potato masher. Keep smushing.

Step 4: Strain the grapes through a colander. You can also use a cheesecloth.



Step 5: Enjoy deliciously fresh grape juice! The juice will be thick. Dilution with water and sweetening with sugar or honey are optional.
