A thrift,a re-do and a lutefisk dinner!

My living room collage needed a change next to the stove.
This is what I started with
and I just wanted to warm it up for winter.


I tried it this way...

Then this way....




And I ended up liking this, done!






Here is my best find this summer
I found this crazy quilt for $5


My Phil is up in Anchorage installing
cabinets and so my Mom and Dad
came up to sleep with me.
and
Dale and Lois called and invited
me into the Scandinavian
Lutefisk dinner
I think this is more of a dinner dare.
Smelly fish!
should be fun I'll tell you all about it.
Have a great weekend!

  2. I was just going to say something about that cute picture, too. Your collage does look more wintery and warmer, especially with the little quilt.

    I'm not sure about that lutefisk. I never liked the name much. Maybe if it sounded better...... Diane

  15. Last night I watched Sarah Palin's Alaska on TV. Alaska is beautiful. I really enjoyed all the scenery and the bears and bear fight....they were so close in the boat it was stressing me out...I was thinking are all Alaskans not afraid of bears, cuz I would be high tailing it out of there pretty dang quick!

    I mean there are bears here too and you can see there deposits everywhere...one place we lived there were always on the school yard...but, heck i would have turned around and ran my legs off. They were so calm...and too close to that mama and her babies......anyhoo, I can't wait for next week so I can see another corner of the earth you live in.
