Five Minute Friday ~ Morning

February 28, 2016June 22, 2017 ~ traceyatwaterintowine ~ 12 Comments

Morning is when I get to drink coffee on my own In the quiet And not have to talk.It tastes better in the early morning. It does good work.Easily my favourite part of the day.

One For The Weary

For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.” Jeremiah 31:25 Weary, languishing? I think  we’re all feeling it about this time of the year and Christmas!! Ugh I feel tired just thinking about it. I know I'm not meant to say that out loud, I do love it, but goodness … Continue reading One For The Weary

Five Minute Friday – Joy

Five Minute Friday  = prompt word, five minutes, just write. This weeks prompt word: JOY – – – weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5 For years it wasn't a word in my vocabulary. Not that I was unhappy all the time but "joy" - a feeling of … Continue reading Five Minute Friday – Joy

Five Minute Friday = prompt word, five minutes, just write. This weeks prompt word:  Celebrate Celebrate - now that's appropriate - see we’re in a celebrating mood round these parts - so much so you might see me skipping.

Five Minute Friday – Here

August 9, 2015April 29, 2017 ~ traceyatwaterintowine ~ 10 Comments

Here  - - - still in this house - these walls, this space that contain part of my heart -by some miracle, by the skin of our teeth, by amazing grace.

We had glorious weather here Easter Saturday - sun, blue sky and just the right amount of breeze that makes me want to make or fix or rearrange something - anything. Decided I’d give the top of my dining room table a quick do over that I’d been thinking about for a while. I’d painted stripes on the top about 5 years ago which I have always loved but it's taken a battering as all good dining tables should. I repainted the white stripes for starters being none too careful with the edges because they would be covered. The wood stained stripes that alternated had always been a touch darker than what I really liked but who has the energy to be faffing about sanding back stain! So Contact paper with a parquetry pattern to the rescue! Seemed like a big fat cheat but I have to say I am pretty darn happy with it. It's lighter, more casual and added some much needed texture. Bit of yellow coming through which is closer to original colour you can still see around the trim and works in just snazzy with my thrifted check sheets on the day bed that I found Saturday. Could not get them out of the store fast enough. Scroll for a gander. Butterfly cushion thrifted just recently as well
