Fire wood shelter

We have used wood for heating during winters all the years here in Halkis.

But how much has always depended on free fire wood.

Hubby have sawn it and cut it next to garage.

When we decided to use even more wood for heating,

we knew, that we need to start buying it.

And when you are buying ready made wood,

there is no point to storage it under open sky.

So we needed shelter for fire wood

- and I wanted it closer the house than garage is.

Cottage boudoir...

My cottage boudoir is finally done!

We started with wallpapers during last weekend,

and today I put last candle on the dresser.

Decorating cottage porch

Now, when trees have drop leaves,

from the road there is open sight to cottage porch.

So, when I come home from work,

it is the first thing I will see.

I want it be nice during this darkest time of the year.

So I use to decor it for Christmas time.

Wreath for cottage door

The cottage door had also stuck in spring time.

It sure isn't any spring anymore,

so it really was the time to do something.

Cottage porch

I finally got cottage porch cleaned up.

During the winter months it uses to be a place,

where we just walk through with wet, snowy and muddy shoes.

It is cold,  but dry,

and unfortunately we are lazy enough to throw in there things,

that are waiting for decent place - like landfill.

Dudes are out

We had one sunny, warm day.

And I got cleaned yard front of cottage.

Rhododendrons have suffered during last summer,

and there will be only few flowers.

But periwinkle (Vinca) is spreading well,

so here will be blue lake of blooming in June.

Small steps with slow project

Over two weeks ago I started with cottage

- with an idea to get it organized 

and also get decent working area for me.

I have found it, well, could I even use word "disaster"?

It is chaos.

And I haven't figured out the way to do it better.

Slow project going on...

I started to do some re-arrangementing in cottage.

Because it is storage as well as my studio,

it is always messed up.

And right now it is even more upside down. 

Cottage porch

I am not sure,

how I spend my evenings.

After coming from work,

and when dishes and dinner are done,

I sudden find out,

it is time for bed.

So I try to do something quick and simple.

Like cottage porch decor.
