Hello! Is anyone home?
;-)
I am sorry to have been gone from here for a few days and I have missed you very much! I hope all is well in your world! I have been busy doing this and that and nesting for the very much anticipated fall season that surely must be on its way!! I can't wait until October 1, when I will bring home the pumpkins and the cinnamon broom that I always get at the grocery store that makes the whole house smell sooooo good! Speaking of brooms, our Summer Lynn has been doing a diligent job of keeping Daisy Cottage's porch clean. She is the cutest porch sweeper in the world, don't you think? :-)
Her Birdie has been moving things around on the inside as you can see in the images above. I brought the unframed floral paintings out of the hall bath and put them above the dining room window and I have made the living room wall that you see when you first walk in the door a gallery wall. It is a work in progress, literally as I type, and will be filled from floor to ceiling with this and that. It is hard to photograph, but I will try to do so again when I am all done. It feels good to work on the house a little bit again and it feels really good using what I already have. Don't you love it when things seem new just because you moved it to a different spot?
I've also been really busy painting and my once orderly office is really chaotic now but in the most colorful and messy way! I think I am going to get some white curtains to hang on the office french doors so that when the mess gets to be too much to see from the living room I can close the curtains. I'm still thinking on that idea however.
So yes, I am so excited for pumpkins and fall and to celebrate that whole season to be. But first things first - there is a certain somebody who will be turning 3...
Love,
Kim
You definitely have an adorable little sweeper!
I like the way you moved things around. I think I shall do the same!
I love fall, too. The leaves falling are so pretty, so inspiring.

The painting of Shannon is beautiful, Kim. Summer Lynn is growing up, and she looks so sweet on the porch sweeping away.
Happy September days. I am taking it all in.
love, ~Sheri

I enjoy all the changes you have made to Daisy Cottage. Your cottage always makes me smile! Whenever I see a picture of Summer Lynn, I think that God has planted a little angel in your mist and will use her in mighty way as she continues to grow. You are so Blessed! Your little paintings are so precious and your daughter's painting says it all - Love!
Hugs,
Connie

Good morning, Kim. When I saw Summer Lynn on your front porch, I wondered if she could be three already and you confirmed that she soon will be. How quickly time passes.
You have captured Shannon beautifully. Have been enjoying your art and your new gallery wall looks terrific. Thanks for sharing Daisy Cottage and your little helper with us.

Always makes me happy to catch up with you Kim! How can she be turning 3? That seems quite impossible to me. She is such a doll. Love seeing what you are doing around your cottage. It always feels like home to me.

Hello sweet Kim :)
Happy Birthday to your adorable sweeper. I can't believe she's going to be 3! Amazing how fast the time has gone by.
Seeing bits of Daisy Cottage is always a thrill to me. I can't wait to see the finished wall, but it looks wonderful already.
I hope you're doing well, my friend.
Love you much always,
rue
