My Zen

There is only so much one can do to decorate their house when they can't paint the walls or have the money to buy drapery etc. So I decided to give myself something to do to employ the skills I have. Plus, the Dollar Store here isn't half bad. So I got a lot for not much money.

This is my summer arrangement which is in our bedroom at the time. I can't decide where to put it that I like it the best.

This is a more formal arrangement I have on the table. Our theme for most the house actually seems to be white and black. But I guess part of that is they go with the weird colors we have on the walls of the room. So the table has white and red which go well with the black and white we usually have.

This is the tiny rake I made out of dowels. It took a while and was challenging to make work, but it turned out well. Plus it took up time and made me think.

And here is my Zen Garden.

Daniel came home from school and I showed him all of my creations. He looked at the Zen Garden and started playing with the rake, while saying " I never understood these things...." Not much longer after that he stopped and said, " Never mind... Now I do."

So now it looks like I have tried to decorate our house. I like having flowers, even if they aren't real. Plus the Zen Garden I foresee as being a great addition to our lives. Seeing as how there is a lot of change, school, work, etc.
