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.

The Start of 2024 on the Blog

I shared several ways to add winter decor to your home after the holidays.

Can you believe it is almost February? Time for some Valentine’s Day love.

I created over 13 different FREE printable Valentine’s Day banners you can print and decorate until your heart is content.

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?
