Winterizing The Gypsy Porch!

BOOM!

It is Winter...

There's some Snowy Landscape Amazingness...

And some Cold Temps!!!


Doesn't stop me from drinking Iced Coffee tho... ha!

Anyway...


Remember our Porch when we first moved in... 

Almost a whole year ago!

Gulp!


The first incarnation...


We caught all of those first warm spring day rays...


Lounging, as one does...


We watched the sun rise...


And we had some spooky times...

Now to keep the snow and wind out...

We must do a lil winterizing!


We got some clear shower curtains...


We popped out the screens...

Wrapped the plastic around...

& popped them back in...


Dodging Drafts already!


We got two rolls of this Moisture Barrier for Floors to cover 12' x12'...


So Shiny!


We found a basic rug layer on super sale at the Lowes...

19 Cents a square foot...

We are intending to beat the crap out of this rug...

Doesn't have to look pretty...

Just has to go to the edges, & help retain a lil warmth...


And of course I'm going to layer lots of other rugs on top!

lolz

Charli likes it... all that matters.


We made just some simple scissor cuts to wedge the carpet layer into the corners...

Not intending it to be a permanent addition to our Gypsy Porch Life ;-)


Testing some Heat Retention...

This ceramic Space Heater will come in handy...

When we want to Steal some Winter Time Porch Moments...


It is all coming together...


There's a lil Tree & better Table...

I think I'm almost done...

Maybe Curtains...

Y'know Jenny loves Curtains!!!

When we need a lil Get Away...

We can now Stay Cozy!

It's almost the Solstice...

You better get your Winter Holiday Azz in Gear!

Cozy Up Your Spaces!

Get Your Drafts Under Control!

Make All Things Ready for Winter!!!

MAKE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO

Secret Post!

Shhhhhhh.....

This secret post is all about the Halloween!

2016, crazy year!

So many intensities! 

We are still trying to get our rhythm back after our big move.

We didn't let it stop us from having some Autumnal Halloween Fun! 


So Halloweeny!


Of course I Made a Bunch o' Stuff!


And now that we live deep into the woods, we have a never ending supply of free materials...


TWIGGGGGGGSSSSSSSSSSS!

We have Heaps!

I gathered a bunch & started to glue gun away...

That Broomy Broom above was the fun result...

Seriously, it was very relaxing gluing all of those bits together...


I got really into Crows...


Sunsetty vibes in the upstairs sitting room...


Trevor...


Timer Tea Lights inside wee Pumpkins...


Talent is on Display at every turn :-D


Branches and battery timer lights...

That big Pumpkin looked Great as a Planter!


Cut a hole big enough to Make that Pumpkin into a Lampshade!


Didja Know.... You can put a LED Candle inside those suckers to Make em Glow!?!?!?!?


Glitter Pumpkins in a Jar!


Always a lil Gypsy Porch Action!

Perfect for having a sit down & a good old Fortune Telling...


Batties in the Lamp...


Owls in the Yard...

Not a Prop...

Did I mention that we live Deep in the Woods...

LOL

Glad to finally get this post out n about...

Hope you all had fun this Halloween...

& I Hope you MADE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO
