Somedays you are BLESSED ENOUGH to realize just how blessed you really are! That is how I feel today... just darn blessed. Sure I have my days...going through the hours...taking for granted the day before me. Today is a realization....A perfect azure sky, a slight breeze blowing. I get to be at home with my boy and side kick lab pal Riley. Listening to the radio playing on the oldies station and the clicking of legos being built. Knowing the dishes FOR NOW are caught up. A sigh escapes me...a good one....and I feel happy!
You all have added to that factor...all the wonderful kudos and congratulations. Thank-you sooo much...for your warm endearments. You all have tickled me! I have gathered from many of you...that you would love to win a garland of some sort....maybe something cherry? Soooo that is what I will come up with. I plan on getting the give-away done and underway in the next few days. I will post it and that will be the official sign up. Before I leave you..I wanted to share a project I am working on with my bedroom lamps. They started a dark wood color....I than painted them white....but they were not popping enough so I painted them an aqua blue....I distressed the one I am sharing.....and also added some light blue seam binding to the white lampshade. I think they add just enough color.....the area I am showing is my side of the bed. I love the serene quality of the creams and white...but I have got to have my COLOR....this aqua with a bit of red here and there....as you will soon see....satifies my need. I can't leave with out also sharing my crafts for the weekend. I have been having a lot of fun with pinks lately.....ohhhh and doilies....who knew??? Of course most of what you see can be found in my etsy store. Thanks ever soo much my friends! Off to make a grilled cheese...OR two OR three....my boy and side kick are hungry! XOXO, Cherry

I heart Robby Benson also. Just triggered my brain about him in a very long time.
Love Your D... is for dog.
Your blog is lovely, and full of cherry's indeed. My other home had so many cherry's on the inside. I have now taken the red outside and kept the inside very pastely.( is that a word?)
Happy Monday

What a lovely day you have had! Thank you for sharing. :o) Your lamp looks adorable and I am loving that blue! I especially like the stitching behind your lamp. Gorgeous! I am trying to fill my home with lovely touches such as that, and working on a little stitching myself, right now. :o) Little by little, my house is being knit into a home. :o)
Your Etsy shop sure is pretty! You have some lovely items inside of it!

Hi Cherry,
Love the new aqua lamp base and seam binding to go with. You're right...so serene!!! Lovely new creations too!
I went to three stores last week, only to be told by the last one that it would not be available until Aug. 1st. Couldn't get out today, but will try again tomorrow. I'm so anxious to read your article. : )

Hi Cherry-

Hi Cherry
Your lamp looks perfect. I love the color and how you have distressed it. It looks very beachy and just the look I am after for our new bedroom that we have been planning for months and hope to start soon. The flowers and tags are gorgeous too.
Thanks for your comment. Glad you were able to view. It's approx 100 miles to Clearwater from Orlando and about one and a half hours travelling time. I am so excited for your forthcoming trip. Wish I could come!

Hi Cherry---
Love your pretties!!!! Days like yours are a dime a dozen so it is
nice to have them once in awhile.
I try very hard to look at the positive BUT sometimes a little
negativity comes in to play.
Enjoy your week!
Melinda
I'm glad you found me again! Love your lamps! So, so pretty! I think I might borrow them! I have the same little aqua blue fan as you - only mine has way more rust spots. I enjoyed looking at all your pretty pictures! I'll definitely be back more.
Your lamp looks great, and I love all of your creations. laurie

Beautiful room, Lovely blogger! I love the touches of color and congrats on being published! You are so deserving, you scream creativity. I love the pic on your side bar of you and your son. My "little" boy is a blondie too, but 6'4" and 21 years old now! Enjoy those Legos, and every moment, it just gets better. Hugs, Pam
Hi Cherry,
I've been reading your blog for a while and have been admiring all of your lovely creations. I wanted to let you know about Artists for Hope... they're looking for crafty people who will donate an item to be sold in their etsy store, where all of the proceeds are donated to a good cause. The current cause is the Medika Mamba program at Real Hope for Haiti.

Hey Cherry,
I went looking for the Blog magazine you are in... I found one in Port Angeles but it wasn't the new one. Then I found one South of Seattle but it wasn't the one you were in either... So I will wait patiently till the new one comes out here!
I can't wait to see your goodies in it!
Robin~♥
P.S. It is the most expensive magazine I have ever seen at $14.99 but it sure is pack full of wonderful things!
Beautiful! How do you get your pictures so large--They are amazing!!

I adore the photos you have used to express the blessings to have gathered around you today. How lovely it is to once again be visiting you from Australia.
Your blog and name always brings back the memories of growing up on a cherry orchard in the hills outside of Adelaide in South australia many years ago....thank you for that memory.
