I decided that since I love Nature so much, watch hours of camping videos, I should bring that rustic aesthetic into my home/personal space.
I began by ordering pinecone pattern sheets to use as the fabric for sofa cushion slipcovers. Then I ordered a rustic (gorgeous) mug. On my to do list is to make (learn how-to) bread. Yesterday I bought parsley and lettuce seeds to start my garden 2026 indoors. The major sorting stuff last week has my muscles in shape. Any day now I could be fit enough to chop a cord of wood. 😂

Here’s how my bright ideas is progressing. Every time I’m typing and stop to think, my eyes close, and my head slowly lowers as my mouth pathetically hangs open. Is thinking not good for me!? 😱
Enter 2026 my life adjustment phase.
Think Logistics.
What I ask myself, the bright idea catalyst:
Are the things in my life able to do what they are meant to, when they are meant to be done? Am I choosing the best ways to support the quality of my life? What is the quality of my life?
Methinks, the way we ask questions about ourselves, can give us a perspective we might have been ignoring or weren’t aware of.
There is a gated path to finding the answers to those questions. The sign out front says:
Beware of the Rabbit Hole
I’ve been down that rabbit hole a few time. It is bottomless! Beware indeed!
ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteIt is daunting to explore the quality of life status, especially when only looking at the reality, no dream of having aspects.

I just love the thought of you bringing the outdoors in (especially during the winter) with the fun sheets and I'll look forward to seeing the rug!

DeleteIn a forest, if I had to, I’d always throw down an oriental carpet or jute.

You're right-it's so good to ask those questions of ourselves-it can prevent some mistakes! And makes us aware of things that are glaringly obvious! I love your pine cones and using sheets is a great idea. I was looking at carved wooden snails on Etsy this morning-so cute!
ReplyDeleteDebra,
DeleteSince the fall of 1967, my go to comfort image has been a pine tree grove. Anxiety kicks in, the pine trees sooth. Why my decor hasn’t reflected that comfort is a mystery.

oh, that rabbit hole, I know it all too well. Searching for links to share on my blog has led me down many a garden path straight into that hole. Sounds like you are making good steps towards surrounding yourself with nature both indoors and out.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteLink rabbit holes are fun . Your blog links have given me many a happy moment. I found my felt stash last week. I am determined to make that felt holly garland.
May.
Be sure to share a picture if you do!
DeleteYes, I will post a photo of my holly garland.
