It has just rained, and the air is cool to the skin. Outside, the garden smells fresh of mint growing gloriously in the garden. How lovely it is to sip tea (from Gen!) from a pretty cup (from Bemused!) on this drippy Sunday! I sit on the couch by the window, Janet Seidel tuned on low. The after-rain slightly-chilly breeze blows in, and I shuffle my feet gently to keep them warm.
We are going to the nursery later, for more herbs in the garden, and flowers on the table. I know exactly where I’ll put the fresh blooms – in my watering pot in the middle of the antique-stained dining table. And a small pretty one for the little missy in her hair. The cushions on the white wicker bench need some new covers – floral-patterned I hope, but none too feminine. And our family photos, big and small, waiting to be hung up on our pink wall.
This beautiful weather makes me dream. And it makes drinking tea so so lovely.
matching dress and the purple little flower, oh my, missy photo warm the heart of many in this cold cold weather! =)

Yay! Set. Let’s go fabric shopping!
Or better yet, do you have any old clothes/curtains etc lying around that you’d like to see as your new covers?
Fabric shopping babe! I’m in need of clothes, so there aren’t any to cut up! Yeah, let’s set a time!
I love ya, Cyn!
OMG I just thought up a kick-ass idea that will allow u to have more floral patterns on the covers when u feel like it, and less when Andy needs a more manly home. Muahahaha! I’m so excited to try it out. Let’s go shopping soon!!!
Dang! Yeah, next Tue? I need to buy fabric for my sofa throw too!
Set! Tue it is. Bring dimensions!
[...] I’d try to woo Singer again. And so it was that recently, while reading my dear friend Yuling’s blog entry a while back mentioning her need for new cushion covers, I found myself conveniently forgetting Singer’s lifetime worth of attitude problems and [...]
