Country Living In My Backyard

I love a warm, homey, comfortable look and feel in my home, and Country Sampler is my favorite magazine for cottage/country decorating ideas.  Every issue features lovely photos of homes filled with all of my favorite things . . . antiques and primitive accessories, stoneware, quilts, candles and candle holders, oil lamps, hooked rugs, wool pillows, wooden bowls, baskets, wood floors, and my favorite country colors. 

I've had a subscription to Country Sampler for many years, and it is my favorite country decorating resource.

Have a lovely spring!

I am keeping our pictures at this site... My Miller Girlz .

I find it a lot easier to keep them all in one place and I can store so many more here...so check it out and see what is picture perfect with us.

Here is another picture of Sarah and her bestest friend Ethan.

This is a picture of Sarah and her best freind Ethan....we took them to Chuck-E-Cheese on Wednesday.  Thanks for coming and staying with us Ethan and we can't wait till you can come over again.  You are awesome.

Although there is still a thick blanket of snow on the ground here at Forget-Me-Not Cottage, spring is in the air, and many spring projects and plans have already begun to take shape.

Cottage Improvements - My very dear and talented husband has just begun gutting our old 1920's-never-been-improved mudroom.  Right now, this little 10'x6' room looks quite awful and is the entrance to our home.  He will be removing the original horizontal fir plank walls, reinsulating, rewiring, laying down new flooring, nailing the original wood planks back up, and finally painting.  Once this is all finished, in addition to using this room as our mudroom, we plan to move our desk into this room.  It will fit perfectly against one wall, under a little window.  Until now our family desk has been in our livingroom.

Homespun Happenings - My dear 18 year-old middle son will be graduating from high school this year, and I've just begun putting together a graduation quilt for him.  I've written about the Friendship Sampler Quilt here.  These quilts are so special, and so much fun to put together.

School Days - Last week, my husband, youngest son, and I travelled out of town for a week to watch my middle son play in a high school basketball tournament.  It was so much fun to watch, and great to see so many kids play ball with so much teamwork and good sportsmanship.

This has been my quickie spring cottage update.  I'll be back once again as soon as the dust settles!

Have a very blessed and happy spring!
