Happy New Year! Cosy Rose Cottage Tidy Up

Amor Milagre Cosy New Year Home Tidy Up
Amor Milagre Cosy New Year Home Tidy Up at Rose Cottage

Time for a good old fashioned post-holiday tidy up.  The new board games are tucked into the reorganised game closet.  Ornaments are paired down to the snowy-wintry little guys.  Bags and boxes are stowed for next year’s gifts.  Dates and names are stamped into new books.  The Q2 homeschool portfolio is all sorted.  The new doll is settling into the nursery and exploring the house.  Anything that didn’t work out for us last year is gone- POOF!  We’re vowing to finish old projects before starting new ones.  Health is always our main focus, so wish us luck in finding a good doctor.  In the meantime, I’m cooking up our weekly veg soup and writing out some fun adventure notes for us to try this winter.  We celebrate each season as it comes.  There is always something to savour today.  Happy New Year!  Love, ~ Amor Milagre

We just decorated our tree tonight.  Crackers are ready, snow is falling, and we’re ready to put out the carrots and gingerbreads!

Good weekend to you!  I thought I had listed this one a few years ago when I painted it for my husband’s caramel-pumpkin pie room, but here he is, a lovely snowy reindeer for your winter holiday!  This piece is featured in one of my upcoming children’s books.  Lovely in a wintry nursery!  Fine art prints, original piece, and  stationery are now available here.  Happy snowy days!  Love, ~ Amor Milagre
