My Casa Bella

COME IN THE EVENING, OR COME IN THE MORNING;

COME WHEN YOU'RE LOOK'D FOR,

OR COME WITHOUT WARNING.

KISSES AND WELCOME YOU'LL FIND BEFORE YOU,

AND THE OFTENER YOU COME HERE

THE MORE I'LL ADORE YOU!

-Thomas Osbourne Davis



Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

Crafting Today!

This winter is the first
winter that
we've used this fireplace
everyday!
Its been so cold this year
and we've
had plenty of snow as well.
But today
we're dealing with violent
winds that I'm
expecting at any moment to
be Dorothy,
but instead of having a dog
to travel with
I'll have my three kitties
going for a ride.
Wouldn't that be exciting!
So after breakfast,
(yes I'm having a very slow start
today)
I will attempt to walk outside
to my workshop
without getting blown away and
work on my crafts
for the Show that is coming up
in a week!!
a week!
Don't panic! It'll be OK! HMMM!
Well, I'll do what I can.
Want a sneak peek?
HMMMM, what will I be using these
for?
Well, you'll have to wait and see.
(Oh, Oh, I think I just gave
it away! STINK!)
Don't you just love
the Lilac paper, OHHH, how I yearn
for the smell of
Lilac's, the smell of spring. I have
one of these bushes, just
one, I know, I need more. I am
determined to plant another one this year
every year goes by
and I say that, so this time I mean it.
Well, need to have coffee
and some food, then I can get to work.
Hope you're having a
good day today, and if you're in the NE
hope you're not getting blown
away too bad.

  1. Winds are picking up around here, too. I think we may be in for a little snow tomorrow.
    Have fun with your projects!

  2. Thanks for visiting my blog. We have a lot in common it looks like, aside from Jane Austen and crafting. I was reading about the recovery from your surgery. I have endometriosis also. So far in my life I've had two related surgeries, one for an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured, and a few years ago another surgery. The pain is an issue, that's for sure. Take care of yourself and don't be too active for a while longer.
    I enjoy your blog, good luck on your craft show.

  4. Oh Arlene!!
    How nice to see you today! Crafting....I am doing the same thing! Making a handmade book with some lovely paper and an original story by MOI. And, we have a friend from the Bronx visiting us. I am making a PAVOCHON, BEANS AND RICE, Puerto-Rican style!

    Have a super Sunday and it really is nice to see you again!

  5. Hi Arlene, I haven't been around a lot lately, so I'm catching up now. I retired in January and so I have more time to visit now, and I'm loving it. I'm glad you are recuperating and that in no time you'll be good as new. Take care, don't overdo it and rest as much as you can. Good luck with your craft show, I hope you sell out!
