The importance of using a filter with a pool...................

2 posts in a day - because I simply cannot believe this one!

I was having some fun yesterday and took a couple of photos -

John says - What are you doing?
Suzan says - Taking some fun photos
John says - For WHO?  The blog?  No one's interested in seeing such frigging nonsense
John says - It never stops.
Suzan says - Well I think they're kind of cute and funny
John says - Why can't you just stop for 5 minutes?  Relax - get in the pool
John says - It's like living with a child

Suzan says - You have absolutely NO sense of humor, you know that?  None at all.  Zilch - nada ..........

A whale on a raft - or a crocodile on a raft IS funny

Now I have to explain a little something about John - he has no FILTER when it comes to what HE finds funny - absolutely none.
And between the two of us I'm far funnier - you have to trust me on this one.
I came in later and uploaded the photos and I see this in with them

Suzan says - What the hell is that in my photos for?
John says - I thought you wanted photos of a whale on a raft???

See what I mean?
NO. FILTER.
And not very funny at all.
I mean, who says that to a woman?

And he almost kiilled himself laughing
Well, well, well,
Aren't you just hilarious Mr.Wood.........................
Don't quit your day job.................just saying.

Having no filter also means that when your wife asks you if she's gaining weight
you reply " well there's only one way that happens - stop filling your cake hole "

What the hell?
I repeat,
NOT FUNNY ( at all )

I'm off to share a barrel of laughs with my better half and I desperately need to teach him how to use a filter ....................in the pool

Have a great one all.
I'm getting ready to fill my cake hole with pie................and have a whale of a time doing so

Angel Curtains

I originally wasn't going to hang anything on this adorable little window - I love the French paned glass on it
and I love that it's the original glass - wavy - dimpled and all of it's imperfections most of all...............
But while cleaning I found a left over roll of gauze from Lindsay's wedding and an idea was born.

I decided to cut different length strips from it and simply drape them over a rod.
But first I wrapped them into a squishy smushy ball - and stuck it in a pot so that it would become crinkled - it's far too flat and pristine otherwise
And Voila

They allow light to filter through in the prettiest way

At first I added a heart swag made out of pipe cleaners (some of the photos I have more gauze on then others - what do you think - full or wispy???)

but in the end decided to go with the Paris banner that Susan from Butterfly & Bungalow made me
If you don't know this amazing lady's blog - do yourself a favor and drop by - her style is just unbelievable.

It ties in with the Paris themed armoire on the opposite wall ( HERE )
And I adore the ribbon details on this banner

I hung them directly on the window itself ( not the frame ) so that we can easily open the window to let in even more light ( it's a small room - with a small window - so not the brightest in the house )

And one of the little ones said
" Oh they look like Angel Curtains "

Thus the term Angel Curtains was born - and how they shall be referred to from this day forward.

A little strip of left over gauze holds an old key which hangs off the latch on the cupboard door
( waste not want not )

Angel Key chain perhaps?

Total cost for this project was another $0.00

Have a great day everybody!
Much love,
