Mitten Moments

Happy Saturday from the Mitten and welcome to my Mitten Moments!

You know the drill, those random moments from my week that I am sharing with you.

First things first, it’s been a heavy hearted week in the world. I have said many prayers and I pray these little moments of mine help brighten your weekend!

“Our own sorrows seem heavy enough, even when lifted by certain long-term joys. But watching others hurt is the breaker of most any heart.” – Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Well, warm weather, rain, and snow. We’ve had it all in the Mitten, this week! I’ve been so confused on what to wear. Is it spring or is it winter?

How about you? Are you feeling the same where you live?

I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that the perennials in the ground continue to realize it’s still winter.

This Week On The Blog

On my blog this week, I shared Five Easy Ways To Refresh Your Space. Making small changes in your home decor can really make your home feel new and refreshed, season to season.

I’m loving all the blues this spring and can’t wait to share all my seasonal changes with all of you!

A Few Favorite Mitten Moments

So many of us are ready for the sights and sounds of spring. This week my good pal, Tammy from White Lilac Farmhouse shared her post How To Create A Beautiful Hanging Door Basket For Spring.

Isn’t it beautiful and cheerful!? If you don’t know my friend, Tammy, give her a follow. She’s a gem and I know she’ll be so happy to see you!

My next moment is from Leslie from My 100 Year Old Home. Talk about a beautiful blog! In my opinion, she puts Martha Stewart to shame!

Earlier in the week, she shared How To Make A Hydrangea Cake.

Lovely, right?

Give her blog a follow…you won’t be sorry!

Random Trivia

You’ve heard about spring fever, right?

Spring fever is a real syndrome. When the temperature rises during the warm spell after a long winter, there is a dilation of the blood vessels so blood can be carried to the body surface where heat can be lost quickly. People experience an energetic feeling when this happens.

Now you know it’s real!

And Now…

Here are some other WONDERFUL moments I found this week:

This Unbelievable Dollhouse Kitchen Tour

This Yummy Cashew Chicken

These Marvelous Ways to Decorate with Green

Coming Up in the Mitten

Finally, that purple cottage blanket I told you about a couple of weeks ago, it’s almost finished. I can’t wait to share the story with you.

I hope all the moments of your Saturday bring you more joy than you could imagine!

    I always look forward to your Mitten Moments Kim! My gmail puts them in my “promotions” inbox which I don’t like. I now know where to go to find it. The Spring door basket is beautiful! And that cake!! Your ideas come quicker than I can try them out! I still have to make the White Chicken Chili you spoke about in an earlier post. I’ll get to them eventually!

    Kim, thank you so much for sharing my door floral arrangement. So many great projects bloggers had this week. Leslie’s cake was amazing. I tell you, she is the queen of all projects. So much talent!

    I cannot wait to see you purple quilt. Your quilts are so beautiful.

    Also, that Cashew Chicken recipe that you put the link to will be made this week. It sounds so delicious.

Good morning!! I am happy to report that it’s Good morning!! 

I am happy to report that it’s going to be a White Christmas in the Mitten, this year! We have had crazy wind and blowing snow, but it’s supposed to clam down by this afternoon! 

I know the snow is complicating travel and Christmas plans for some of you and I pray you all get where you are going, safe and sound! 

I’m signing off for a few days to enjoy some much needed time with my family! I’m so grateful to celebrate the reason for the season! 

I’m sharing some photos from my Christmas home tour in case you missed it! 

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas! May it be merry and bright! 

Peace and Blessings, 

Kim ❤️🎄
