Nesting!

What does nesting mean to you?

During this time of the pandemic I have thought quite a lot about nesting.

I found two different nests in the gardenhouse, collected by my "live-in gardener".

Since I haven't been out to the stores I haven't shopped much,

except groceries.

Now I didn't ever think I spent much other than groceries

somehow I must have spent more than I realized

for now I seem to have a little extra to spend.

Maybe it was just the gas I was putting in my car

to do all that running around, I am not sure.

So, yes, I have been doing some nesting.

I love collecting flowers in the garden to place in little bottles on the mantle.

Finally hung some flower pictures too.

Being home more I have taken the time to look around my house

and do a bit of nesting with this "little extra to spend" money.

In my nesting I washed all the curtains in the house and

realized some needed to be replaced.

My rug in the living room was fraying around the edges.

Now a new rug rests in my living room.

New shades in the bedroom were needed.

Plus pictures needed to be hung, something I had put off.

And in all this looking around, I decided I needed a studio

that was wholly mine to leave things out and messy

or to make a sanctuary for my inner-peace.

I love having access to the garden, the view always enchants me.

A place Joey likes to be now that I am there.

And a place to have easy access to my photography and art supplies is a total delight.

In the kitchen where you see the little table was once my computer

sitting place. It was quite cluttered!

Now we have the sweet little table sitting there.

It was stored in our basement, as I thought I would sell it.

So there has been some nesting going on

and I am loving my sanctuary!

I am loving the new arrangements and little changes.

They are delighting my heart.

Are you finding yourself nesting a bit more than usual?

Are you making small or bigger changes?

Are they delighting your heart?
