On-site vs off-site construction

They work.. Yay!.

Nope, not sledding.Not hot chocolate.

Not warming up next to the fire pit.. It’s all those amazing Winter scenery pictures that keep popping up in Pinterest.This is one stunning season.The only problem is that it’s cold.

I thought I’d better get brave one day and pop outside to show you all the real beauty that surrounds us here everyday.Just to contribute to the pool of pretty pictures floating around out there and do my fair share..

I have to tell you that I only lasted about 5 minutes before my eyes were watering and my fingers were numb and I had to run back inside to the warmth of my blankie and my nice laptop.. For a moment though, I was out there in the blowing snow and not just admiring it from the window..

I brought the popcorn strings from the Christmas tree out for the birds.. And then I ran right back inside!.I just tucked in some bits of cedar and pine from around the yard.

No tying, gluing or pinning needed..The little red ribbons are purely for cuteness.. I’m so glad I clued into this little trick!.

So if you’re feeling crafty this year and think you want to make yourself a wreath out of fresh greenery, save yourself the headache and the 45-minutes of trying to turn your pine oval into a wreath, and take the easy (and pretty) way out!Just as promised, here’s yet another progress report on the front hall!.We got a new light!
