Saturday Sharing From the She-Shed Volume 42
Happy January!
It’s been a few weeks since my last Saturday post – life got unexpectedly busy, and we were under the weather for what seemed like forever!
But I’m thrilled to be back on track and sharing with all of you today.
Luckily, we were in good health for Christmas, and the sickness only hit us around New Year’s. Our kids visited on the 28th, and we joyfully celebrated our daughter-in-law’s birthday along with our grandson’s first birthday!
My granddaughter Madison and I made Callum the cutest cake. We used a small round chocolate cake with a few ding-dongs and turned it into the cutest little bear smash cake.
I have to admit, he relished every mouthful! And it was a delight for all of us to witness him enjoying his first cake. Needless to say, a kitchen sink bath was an absolute necessity after this sweet celebration!
What’s Happening at WM Design House?
For the past few months, we’ve been diligently working on painting our house. This old gem, adorned with wood shingles and siding, required a significant amount of attention, considering she is over 125 years old.
We’re making significant progress and approaching the final stages of the project.
Today, I was thrilled to place the furniture back on the front porch!
However, some gardening and re-potting still needs to be done to bring everything together. Those vibrant blue pots that used to grace the front of the house won’t complement the new color, so new pots were a must.
The color choices were not easy, but I decided on very neutral flower pots so I could add color with my seasonal decor.

What’s in my Shopping Cart this Week
I have been doing a lot of shopping and preparing the house’s exterior for spring.
I put down these beautiful blue and white rugs .
Then we hung the cutest Sunday porch swing! and I definitely need this to add to my swing!
And I decorated it with lots of pretty pillows.
Then we added what every porch needs, a rocking chair?

The refresh on your home is looking so beautiful Wendy! And thanks so much for sharing my No Sew Heart Pillow. I really appreciate that!
Your grandkids are adorable Wendy! I’m sure you are so relieved to have all of that sickness behind you! Thanks for sharing my Vintage Valentine’s post!
Thank you, Cindy; I love sharing your beautiful posts with my readers.
Your talent never ceases to amaze me Wendy, that bear cake looks professional! Looks like someone really enjoyed his first birthday too! I am glad your painting is coming to an end. I cannot say I think I would enjoy painting an entire home, but that has probably more to do with being on a ladder than anything else. Heights and I do not get along. I am glad to hear you are feeling better, take care my friend.
Happy Saturday Wendy.
Thanks for sharing so much inspiration today. Have the best weekend.
