Getting Ready

With a houseguest coming for a few days, it was time to spruce up the spare room. Funny, it didn't seem like work, given there were pretty things to arrange.

The usual white sheets were in the wash (having an unexpected visitor a few nights ago) and the surprisingly warm day reminded me of these patterned ones. Ferns in the garden, ferns on the bed. Why not? It's still a long time until the snow comes!

My cousin jokingly says that a guest room shouldn't be so comfortable that the visitor wants to stay too long! The room may be small, but facing south, it's improved by lots of sunshine.

The wonderful quilt, made by my sister-in-law, certainly adds some cheery colour.

If the nights get chilly, there's a duvet at hand, as well as this multi-coloured quilt, made by my mother.

I do hope my guest doesn't mind a long-eared roommate, crafted by my niece. I had it tucked away for awhile, thinking I was much too old for a fabric bunny. Oh, well! I'm as young as I'm ever going to be, right?

Puttering about, I found myself appreciating the things around me, and the people who use this space. As a result, preparing the room wasn't a chore. 

Sure hope I keep this attitude while cleaning the bathroom!

Warm Wishes,

Karen
