This is amazing! Our bathroom is sad, sad, sad and it will be years before we get to it since we have to do other rooms first. But your bathroom is simply gorgeous. You did a great job and I think it’s perfect for a november post – so warm.

Oooohhh. I love the stained glass idea and think that is what my next project will be — we’re having a new house built next to us that means we really need that privacy covering in our bathrooms now. The colors you picked for the room are great. Thanks for sharing with us.

Tres Upscale!! Excellent! I know what you mean about gray walls–our [rental] house has gray and I haven’t changed it tho we’ve been there just over a year now. It’s not as bad as the trendy sage green we had in the last house, but it could use some REAL color!

Another great project!

Comment on no flash, all dazzle by Roobeedoo

I made a “Simple But Effective” shawl out of a single skein of Noro Kureyon sock. It is such an easy knit, with just a few bands of garter stitch for texture – letting the self-striping yarn do all the work. I have seen lovely versions in Silk Garden sock, which is probably softer. And Mini Mochi looks like it would be softer still – mmm!

Hey I know Gudrun too, and her fabulous cardigan! (no, I’m not that Julia–that’s my best friend all over Gudrun’s website)
Now I’m so pleased to have found your blog. It’s lovely.

Comment on A Quote and a Question by Christine

Here’s a quote I’d like to share that’s helped me lots. I do find that prayer or meditation helps keep the people in the front of things amidst the daily-doings of all live involves. The book is one about prayer, but it’s not a how-to book. Even if one isn’t Christian, I think the concept can resonate. The idea is that in making time for prayer (or meditation) we end up making time for others without more effort – it just happens b/c of of our changed disposition, perhaps.

” One of the great crises of our day is that people are no longer capable of finding time for one another, time to be with one another. Here is something that causes so many deep wounds. So many children are enclosed within themselves, disillusioned and damaged, because their parents never learned to spend time with them, with nothing else to do except be with the child. They look after the child, but they are always doing something else or are preoccupied, never entirely there, never totally available. And the child senses this and suffers. In learning to give time to God, we will certainly become more able to find time to be there for one another. Our attentiveness to God will teach us to be attentive to others. . . . Mental prayer will give one the grace to live out every moment of life in a much more fruitful way. Time given to God is not time stolen from others. . . . On the contrary, [it] guarantees the capacity to be present to others and love them. . . . the love of prayerful souls is the most attentive, delicate, disinterested, sensitive to other people’s suffering, and capable of consoling and comforting.” From TIME FOR GOD by Jacques Philippe
