Cozy Cottage Elements


I want to thank all of you who come to visit me.  I have not been very good about 
returning the favor, and I do apologize.  Life has been very hectic around my
cottage for the last several weeks.  My Mom was ill several times, my hubby
David was too and then my Mother-in-Law passed away.  

I have been trying to balance all of my obligations, and frankly, blog reading
just took a back seat.  Now things seem to be settling down to a more
normal pattern and I will be happily following and commenting on all of
the great and creative blogs I love so much.



So until then, here are a couple of mosaics I have put together to bring the "cozy" 
feeling back into my little cottage and to share than coziness with you.

What a great group of friends I have made and I thank you from the bottom
of my heart!

I am linking up to ~

Bentley ~ your Auntie Robin flew over Idaho today on her way to
visit her daughter Taylor in Washington State.  Did you remember to look
up and send her a kiss?

Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  8. Your cottage mosaics are cozy and heart warming, many of the same things I love about this type of decor.
    A shame that illness and the passing of your MIL happened around the same time; here's hoping your life becomes a little less stressful with the approaching holidays.

  15. I'm so sorry to hear of all that's been going on in your life. Your plate has been full. I know there are many out there in blog land that write you off if you don't visit constantly. My life doesn't allow for that. I enjoy blogging and visiting but can't always do it all. So, I completely understand. I enjoy your visits, but don't worry about it on my account. Happy to hear that you are cozying up your cottage.
