My Little Space

A couple of posts ago I mentioned painting a little room that I was going to turn in to a little space for me. I had finished painting it and then Mike put a wallpaper border up in there for me yesterday. I told him that I wanted a little table and chair to put in there to put my sewing machine on. I was going to wait until after Christmas to shop for one. Earlier when I was doing some cleaning I stumbled across a little computer desk that was in an extra room we have and wasn't being used. We pulled it out along with a spare little chair I have. Here's a picture of part of my little space. I still have a lot of decorating to do. I want to get a little primitive looking cabinet to put on the wall above my sewing machine. Preferably a darker red like the red in the wallpaper border. I love that border! Isn't it great?! Here's a close up of it and of a hand blown glass bubble that my friend Cheryl sent me for my birthday.

The basket on the right of the table holds most of my treasured little stitching smalls that I've received as gifts. The little basket on the left holds a little pillow that was a gift and all of my stitching scissors. Here's a closer look.

Down the street from us there are some really nice horse stables. I notice often that they hold big equestrian events there. Thursday morning on the way to take the kids to school we noticed the Budweiser Clydesdales out in the field grazing and Joshua also noticed the big Budweiser semis. After I dropped them off at school I had several errands to run. On my way back home I noticed that traffic was stopped and the Budweiser trucks had a police escort (6 motorcycle cops and 3 other cop cars..1 stopping traffic, one in the other lane, and one behind them). I thought they were leaving permanently, but when I took them to school again on Friday, we noticed the Bud horsies out grazing again and the trucks were there again. I had more errands to run but on my way back home I noticed they were still there so I pulled in to the stables. I rolled down the window and asked a very nice man decked out in Bud gear if it would be ok if I brought the kids by after school to see them. He told me they'd be leaving before I picked them up but told me that I was more than welcome to come spend some time with them. Shoot yeah! Ok! So here I give you pictures of the prettiest horses (and biggest!) I've ever seen. There were 10 total but I didn't take pictures of all of them.

I probably won't be blogging again for at least another week. My best friend and her kiddies are coming for a visit, YAY! I'm picking them up at the airport in Baltimore on Tuesday and then taking them back next Saturday. I'm so excited!! On Sunday I've got plans to go on the Fredericksburg Candlelight tour with another friend and her sister. A busy bee, I am :).
