Saturday Sonata Script – Issue #6

Giving you a peek into the past week for me and Sonata Home Design. The week in review, my favorite finds on the web, and just a little “this and that.” I always want to give you great ideas, inspiration, creative motivation, light bulb moments, and a hearty “You can do it!”

I know I am not alone in my passion for home decorating, crafting, and nesting. So, please join me each week for this creative Saturday jolt!

Hi my friend and Happy Saturday!

Good-bye February! (I have to admit that February is my least favorite month.)

So, “Hello March!”

Thanks for stopping by…take a peek at what has been happening!

This Week’s Hustle and Bustle

It’s been a busy week around here! Here is the hustle and bustle…

Shopping? Me?

Planning a little girls’ shopping trip to Kansas City this weekend and I’m so excited.

(It might just be someone’s birthday weekend!)

All That Jazz

As the director of the jazz choir, Jazz Unlimited, at Doane University, I took the group to a jazz festival at Southwester Community College in Creston, IA. You would be AMAZED at the high quality vocal jazz at this tiny school. I was incredibly proud of Jazz Unlimited and enjoyed a full day of great jazz!

Plant Propogating

The sun came out this week and gave me a little spriing fever! It is too cold to plant anything outdoors so my attention went to plant propogation.

My pilea is thriving in the kitchen window sunshine and sprouting lots of little baby pileas that I can replant.

These are such easy plants to grow. Just aim for bright indirect light and water from the bottom by weekly setting the pot in a dish of clean water.

Bentley

Bentley had the busiest week of any of us…here are just a couple of his antics:

Hard as I try, Bentley can find the most obscure items to chew. In this case, a tube of rose pink lip gloss. Smoochie dog!

Bentley has red fur around his mouth because he chewed up a container of red lip gloss.

Oh, There’s More!

A huge crash from the living room sent me running into the room to see what had happened.

Evidently, the roomba started up and startled Bentley. Startled him to the point of moving a side table two feet and everything on top crashing to the ground.

The miracle…nothing broke!

Doesn’t Bentley look contrite!
