Today I climbed up to the top of my bathroom mirror to clean the light covers. I've been noticing dust up there for a few weeks, and I finally decided today was the day.
It was a bit of a chore to get up there with a bucket of water, a cleaning cloth, and a toothbrush (I can't clean anything without my trusty toothbrush!).
I had to have DH come in to remove the items I had on top of the cabinet. At 6'3" he is often better than a ladder. :)
Anyway once I got it all done, I thought I would just run downstairs to the basement and bring up some CHRISTMAS items to decorate the top. I mean why put everything back just to have to take it all down again in a few weeks? I'm all about saving time and effort whenever possible.
I wanted to have a place to showcase all of the snowman items that Jean sent me earlier in the year. I was thinking of a wreath, but while cleaning I had the sudden isnpiration to use them in the bathroom.
Jean, I hope you will think I have done your items justice with this winter display:
I used some big pinecones & a few other snowman items that were gifts -- one from another cyber swap and one from a deceased friend. Every item is special because someone took the time to make them just for me.
This is the salt dough ornie that Jean and her daughter, Laurie, made.
I think he is so adorable!
Let the Basting Begin!

I am using my dining room table to baste this big one -- it's about 105 x
105 inches (king size).
It's been a while since I've finished one this big.

I think snowmen are more seasonal than Christmasy. It sure looks great what you did in your bathroom. I have a snowmen collection that I haven't displayed for a few years. I should get them out again. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's not a big screen tv we have, it's a flat screen-Samsung-26". Our 27" tv blew out and a lady who works at Best Buy who reads my blog recommended it. I really like it. Great to take photos off of too, but you have to get the HD hooked up to it. HGtv sure looks different!
I'm not ready for the C word yet but it's coming whether we're ready or not. I just prefer to take one season at a time. I think snowmen are fine, though and they can stay out through February, if you like. It looks like you did a good job of decorating.
ReplyDeleteZoey, I'm glad you are enjoying your snowmen! The bathroom is just as good a spot as any. I leave my snowmen up all winter or until I'm totally sick of winter! Everything looks great ! Love it! Jean
