Cherry Blossoms.

Living in Stonehill has been wonderful. After living in an apartment for five years I am really enjoying living in house. It is great to have a yard. Especially when a tree like this one lives in it.

This is our tree that lives in the front yard.

Happy Spring!

Lights.

Hung up some lights on a spring night.

A day off.

It's Monday.

It is my day off and I have been cleaning my house and watching Martha on Hallmark. It is amazing, Martha is on the Hallmark Channel all day! I feel like I am 40 instead of 27, with the cleaning and Hallmark, but thats okay, it is making me happy!

I had a wonderful Easter holiday yesterday. We spent the day at my mother in-laws for her birthday. Sitting out in the sun, barbecuing and admiring the spring flowers. A wonderful day!

Easter Time!

Dog sitting the black pug Ash today.

I have the day off and I am watching Martha Stewart. Today she has on Author Jan Brett . Jan's book The Easter Egg magically illustrated. I urge you to check it out. Perfect for children!!

Jan also has pages for coloring for kids (or adults) on her website from the book! Color Pages

Very Magical!

My First Sewing Project.

Here it is!

Last week my mother taught me how to use the sewing machine. I told her I needed a small curtain for my bathroom so she gave me a lesson on how to make curtains.

I thought that I was just going to hem up a piece of fabric and make a pocket for the rod to go in. But mom took it a step further and taught me how to make it ruffle. I think that it looks quite nice!

I think that I shall continue on with the sewing lessons.

Martha would be proud!

Thanks mom!

Little Terrariums

So Magical!

I love these little terrariums from Etsy Seller WarmCountryMeadows.

I want to live in there.

First Post

Hello all!

This is my first post.

I (like many others) love Martha Stewart.

I subscribe to her magazine and always refer to them when thinking of a project to do or any decorating tips.

In this blog I want to share any "Martha Like" things that I see and do.

I was inspired when I held my first family gathering after moving into our new house. I used Martha to get ideas for decorating. Mixing it with my own style I tried to make the look of the whole occasion Martha-esque with out it feeling to over done.

I wonder if Martha would be proud.
