My3Dogs, ANOTHER curtain ????
Comments (6)I understand exactly what you're saying! They will puff out some, but with the depth of your bracket being similar to this on in my DR, probably not enough. You might try some double stick foam tape to pull the sides back and tape it to the window frame. No one would see it, and it's just a matter of testing it to see if you like the look, and can 'finger fluff' them enough so the sides don't look too 'pulled' back. You may have a problem with that right up at the top near the bracket... How many windows do you have? If you were able to buy new brackets that didn't have that extension depth, it might be better......See MoreMy3dogs ? About your H&M sofa
Comments (3)Hi! It's not me who has the Tuxedo sofa. Mine is the Kent Chesterfield and I got it from Craigslist. This is the best pic I have of it, taken just after the eBay coffee table arrived. The two chairs that I have in there were bought for a sofa that is now in my basement; (shown in the second pic below) one is leather and the other is a Dan Carithers by Sherrill. What ties everything together IMO in the room is the rug, since the H&M sofa was an unplanned purchase that I just HAD to have. This is embarrassing, but the best pic I have of the leather chair. The pic will be 5 years old this Thursday! The other chair is impossible to photograph and have the colors come through but it's a tiny woven grayish blue and tan check which is perfect with the lighter blues in the rug. Many changes have been made since this pic was taken. Oops - just found this attempt of trying to capture the chair colors correctly. It didn't happen....See MoreMy3dog, question about different size windows
Comments (4)Hi, Bru, Could you please post pictures of both windows? The windows in my house that have shutters, dining room and upstairs bath, have them either half-way up (DR) or 3/4 of the way up (bath). In each case, the shutter tops align with the muntins in the windows. The windows in my house are '6 over 1' (6 panes on the top over one on the bottom). I'm not a shutter expert, but I would also want each sized window in proportion with each other. This is an awful picture of one of my DR windows. If this helps at all, the over all window length, from top to bottom of trim is 64". The height of the shutter is 20", and the shutter comes up to the mid-point of the glass. The WT hangs down 22" in the center, not including the tassels. I hung the rod 2" out to the side from the upper window trim and 2" above it. I didn't use any formula to determine how far down I wanted the valance to hang, but mine generally hang down to the center of the glass in the upper window. You can barely see the horizontal muntin in the picture, but note how the bottom of the valance is pretty much in line with it, excluding the tssels. If your windows have muntins, that may be your clue as to what size shutters you want and how far down to let the valance center hang....See MoreMy Little Dog (Warning: About a little dog I once had)
Comments (29)Hi CB! Sure.. this is the latest version I do, it's so very flexible. 28 oz whole tomatoes 4 oz pickled jalapenos 2 cloves garlic handful of cilantro juice of 1 lime 1 tsp oregano salt to taste Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse to the texture you desire. I puree the stuff very thin as that seems to be what I find served around here. Again, the recipe is very elastic so if it' a little too spicy cut back on the jalapenos and vice versa. I will throw in a bell pepper or a few banana peppers if I get the urge etc.... Make it what you like. :)...See More

2 years agoI'm back again, checking in, to see how everyone here is doing. I've read several posts and most everyone seems healthy, happy and still decorating, both house and yards.
It's cool (57) and sunny here in Maine, and I have just filled my suet cages and bird feeders for the Nth time. I'm very lucky that I have so many birds, squirrels, chipmunks, turkeys, wood chucks(?!), and a big scare last week - a COYOTE by my picnic table! I grabbed my phone and tried to take some quick pics of it, but I knew if I put the screen up, that it would run away. Needless to say, the pics just show enlarged screen, and the dirt area in the backyard where the birds and 4 footed creatures have destroyed the lawn, digging for that last bit of seed in the grass. :-( Some of my daily eating crew are below -
Order your Thanksgiving turkeys now -
There are SIX chipmunks in this shot below! (and NO more lawn) :-(
The squirrels figure out how to eat everything I put out there! Here it's taking a chunk of suet, but they eat any/all of the seed I put out, and there is a lot of hanging like this to get what they want.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoHi, bfenton! Someone posted it here and I saw it yesterday, but can't find it at the moment.
But, I'm copying what I printed off yesterday - Mine is due to come out of the oven in 7 minutes.
Easy Lemon Cobbler
Melt 1 stick butter in a 9 x 9 pan. (I put a burner on low and set the pan on it.)
Whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt.
Stir into flour mixture: 1 cup buttermilk (I substituted a cup of milk and a tbsp. of vinegar.) (Other substitutes here - Buttermilk substitutes)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp. lemon extract
Turn the batter into the buttered pan.Spread 21 oz. can of lemon pie filling over the batter. Bake 1 hour at 350 (possibly more) or until the edges are golden brown.
This is mine after an hour and 5 minutes. I turned the oven off and left in in longer as it was quite 'jiggly'.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoIt sure is, Tina Marie! And just like you, I don't miss it a bit, although I was a tad adrift at first when that Monday rolled around and I didn't have to get up at 6 AM, but after a month or so, I was fully integrated into being retired. I had worked from home the last few years, and thankfully travel all over the country was over, but retirement is a wonderful reward!
Yes, my cellar dweller is a gem. He is a carpenter, and had done work on the house probably 11 - 12 years ago now. He shared an apartment with a friend, but the friend was moving out. Jimmy (cellar dweller) loved the dogs that I had been then, which sadly are gone, but he loves the 3 rescues that I have now. They race to the door when he gets home from work, and he gets down on the kitchen floor for several minutes, as all three of them are so excited to see him, and they plaster him with kisses.
Jimmy has even accompanied me on my occasional Sunday drives for New England Brittany Rescue (NEBR), where all of my current dogs came from. The dogs usually come up from the south, and this coming weekend, 2 are coming from Gaffney, SC to their foster home in Maine. I'm the last leg of the trip for them, and my 'leg' is about 75 miles round trip. My last several dogs have come from NEBR, and this is the current crew. L - R - Riley (12-ish), Ginger (approx.8) not a Brittany, but the smallest and the BOSS, and Rooney on the right, who is approx. 9 now. They make great cuddling each night! (Duh, click on the pic to enlarge it so Rooney on the right is visible!) He's a cutie, although they all are wonderful.
