Mod Mix Monday #82

Yes, it's late...

Two days late...but I wanted to get my favorite picks up since

I'll be away from the blog for a few days.

Isn't that a fun small kitchen above?

I love the small scale of everything and the color.

Thanks so much to all of you for your encouraging comments the last few days.

I'll be writing many of you...but not sure when...since I'll be very busy with Mom soon.

I had a nice Christmas Day.

It was a quiet one.

I made it to my friend's house.

My Mom had to stay at her house which is about 40 minutes away.

But she went over to my sister's, so she had a nice quiet Christmas too.

We had the basics but it was low key this year and I couldn't help but 

think about how different it was than what had been planned.

But it was ok.

I think I've got too much responsibility to be sad right now.

Of course I am so glad to have my dogs.

They are such a comfort.

Soon my Mom's dogs will be here too...

I know that is totally crazy...seven dogs and a woman recuperating from open heart surgery.

But there seems to be no other option and Mom thinks it will be no trouble at all.

I think she is wrong.

But I'll manage somehow.

I'm a master at dog juggling.

Here are my favorites from last week...

Kim at Made in a Day shared how to make five different holiday garlands.

The one above was my favorite.

Laura of Cottage and Broome dumped all her neting santas in a cute little green glass bucket.

Jennifer of Town and Country Living shared her pretty living room all done up for Christmas.

Makes me want to throw all my color out the door.

Angela at Hickory Trail shared her Christmas decorating.

Love the chalkboard over this serving cart filled with hot coco supplies.

Musebootsi shared this cute pom pom garland she made.

Super fun.

Really great stuff...huh?

Thanks again for being there for me.

I'll be checking in with news on how my Mom is.

I'll be so happy to have her here with me and on the mend.

I am a little numb at the moment.

I'll get my Mom well and then I am just going to focus on the pretty stuff again.

Remember anything old made over to be new...anything new changed up to look old.

New and old together...
