The horse that nearly got away...

Bad, bad blogger. I've been slacking, but I have a good excuse!! In the excitement of a NEW COUCH, my head has been spinning trying to figure out how I'm going to put a silvery-cornflower-shark blue into my decor. Not that any of my furniture really matches, but I'm trying to lean in that direction. So far I have spun up a new ottoman cover that will have matching throw pillows on the couch and one on the rocker. See? I'm trying to match- or at least coordinate. The age of the mismatched, hand me down furniture is passing. I'm growing up, sort of. Maybe it's the birthday, maybe it's having a house all of my very own, maybe it's motherhood, maybe it's (D) all of the above. It's giving me a wonderful mental exercise, though, seeing as I need to do it on the cheap because I got my letter with this year's propane budget at $313/month. Goodbye home renovations, hello heat and hot water!!
