Even though February is just a few hours away I thought I'd show you what our dining room has looked like these past couple of weeks. Like most people, I always struggle a bit after Christmas trying to still make things looks cozy and not too bare once all of the greenery comes down. Obviously it's a bit too early for anything that has a spring-like feel to it so I generally keep things pretty simple. Although I do put all of my Christmas greenery away I generally use paperwhites for at least another month or so.  (We have just a few of our <a href="http://www.dearlillie.com/product/ruffled-table-runner">Ruffled Table Runners left in stock!</a>) <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA98HUL7rGKzR17XYfT8JwA7oaEVmpm4iOXyvHyGCMBBWedT6wZ28pw6TsASm4G6pvZ61rsYVewziAR55FRRdxzfHs6RWk-aW7XVeG4qDjsYbu_fi_Gw_bVOtkshH5oa0K2ck3axDLlkU/s1600/pJanuary_1006.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA98HUL7rGKzR17XYfT8JwA7oaEVmpm4iOXyvHyGCMBBWedT6wZ28pw6TsASm4G6pvZ61rsYVewziAR55FRRdxzfHs6RWk-aW7XVeG4qDjsYbu_fi_Gw_bVOtkshH5oa0K2ck3axDLlkU/s640/pJanuary_1006.png" width="436" /></a></div><br />You can see in the first two photos I had some cute little frames above the wingback chair that were a Christmas gift from my sister-in-law. I really wanted to use them in the living room but they were just too small so I ended up swapping them out with this painting we got several years ago and I think I have a good spot for the frames upstairs! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkZMcJlkPYWquA9E5OEqwn_r2Ogg3oNaLOg3XYXGyVzu5cvHJtoGJCHjAntBAfQ6Vw3QSitMRfoqiCQyur8Kf-ApN_0qzWbZgW24Kj06YSoiM8tUACmIbOjIjgUEmVIfboxfwNj5tR9ww/s1600/pJanuary_1116.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkZMcJlkPYWquA9E5OEqwn_r2Ogg3oNaLOg3XYXGyVzu5cvHJtoGJCHjAntBAfQ6Vw3QSitMRfoqiCQyur8Kf-ApN_0qzWbZgW24Kj06YSoiM8tUACmIbOjIjgUEmVIfboxfwNj5tR9ww/s640/pJanuary_1116.png" width="436" /></a></div><br />I have to admit I miss having the chairs on either side of the buffet. I moved them into the living room when I changed things around. I am keeping my eyes out for the perfect chairs for the living room, though, and when I do I will move those two back here. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEXnXPTWfxNThhV0lsCnPQNzslRC074ibviiHiDP0_pehlYkX_k1yqd8s3gS2cElNA7jR8KaZ4iheybWIzFYzY7GLFn-cg_oBU9t9J0fjkVzZM23wnq5VdhLYClAEiVuV-zp8rTL4e_KM/s1600/qJanuary_1070.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEXnXPTWfxNThhV0lsCnPQNzslRC074ibviiHiDP0_pehlYkX_k1yqd8s3gS2cElNA7jR8KaZ4iheybWIzFYzY7GLFn-cg_oBU9t9J0fjkVzZM23wnq5VdhLYClAEiVuV-zp8rTL4e_KM/s640/qJanuary_1070.png" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Although we got rid of the Christmas greenery, we keep the hot cocoa station up for most of the winter.

Plus all of our fresh greenery would have been completely dry and probably have made a huge mess. Lillie was a bit confused why were packing it all away when there was still ten more days until Christmas (and I am sure our neighbors were too, since I had put our tree up in early November - haha, I think they must all think we are crazy) but I was so glad we did it because it certainly was nice to walk through the door after a fourteen hour trip to a clean, blank canvas. Once everything was down, everything looked so bare and I decided I was getting kind of bored with the layout as it was and that it might be fun to play around with it a bit. After trying a few different things I ended up with this.

I finally finished up several different projects I've been working on but the biggest one was part one of building Lola a little toddler bed. She loves it. It's so cute seeing how excited she is about it but a little sad too. =(  I took some photos of it in her room yesterday and also took photos as I was building it so I will have a tutorial for it at some point once I get the photos onto my computer and edited. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Anyway, I wanted to pop in this weekend to let you know about a couple of things. First, I wanted to introduce our newest sponsor, <a href="http://violettefieldthreads.com/">Violette Field Threads</a>. They make patterns and tutorials for the most darling children's clothing and accessories. Violette Field Threads is the creation of two best friends, Ericka and Jessica, who have a passion for design and sewing. They orginally each created their own boutique clothing line and the demand quickly outgrew what they could supply on our own. Because their real passion was in the design and creative side of their work, they joined forces and Violette Field Threads PDF Patterns and Tutorials was born. Their patterns are thoughtfully written down to smallest detail. This allows for even beginning sewers to create designer looks. Here are a few of my favorite patterns from their website:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">The <a href="http://violettefieldthreads.com/collections/dress-patterns/products/emmaline-dress-sewing-pattern">Emmaline</a> Dress Pattern:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://violettefieldthreads.com/collections/dress-patterns/products/emmaline-dress-sewing-pattern"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPJmtdVTsknbl7X7ADM37XWMJBX_H8zRS9p2RVwZE9j6LWr2MuW70ooQ7Lm5NgUvDHFL69hQe9GChU43A_iHZ8MOLbYBuivbrZmHtR6vWy4wQG7FUDecX-j-XOwCEeVO1VyDvRrAt8iKw/s400/Emmaline1_large.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The <a href="http://violettefieldthreads.com/collections/dress-patterns/products/josephine-dress-sewing-pattern">Josephine</a> Blouse and Dress Pattern:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://violettefieldthreads.com/collections/dress-patterns/products/josephine-dress-sewing-pattern"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuUEgSvwafZ9mXuLzWfyVIt0HyU_N25TMliJan50MYJia5JU2U0wH1r2oUlB_F4-8zcy1ToJ8tWvjVWHNP5_2_ehAcB0HKqkHj3498gIVUMKgNtH7SV6sVCuw2Ao87VrUcMETrrGsVLi8/s400/Josephine8_large.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">They also have accessory patterns like this <a href="http://violettefieldthreads.com/collections/accessory-patterns/products/felicity-no-sew-flower-pattern">Felicity</a> Flower Pattern:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://violettefieldthreads.com/collections/accessory-patterns/products/felicity-no-sew-flower-pattern"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9wHN8haIRs8ePPavaUeN9JEE8jx6nGYEHYPUE-43KXAAixY_EGgzknazTZkXyvzUxZwJfronde3yIyO9JXVrybTQ4ME3mGvzd7EdP1euTtRIqbAiLmFHV8UXPsNJuzT0QknVfrfHKC4w/s400/Felicity1_large.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Be sure to visit their <a href="http://violettefieldthreads.com/">shop</a>, <a href="http://violettefieldthreads.com/blogs/theblog">blog</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Violette-Field-Threads/130943530314652">facebook</a> page! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://violettefieldthreads.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8yY2PJe5cJhJBdyhuqTew2kuxnpAAtYxkUUIttfthERiDB2iCvRFDQ0loFBSFJ4ZLZ5Othr_wXBFbDYrEqHZnanD5yshVSvn2vwwQsjxR7yEi38a8kzRGMLEPt7752NfMvYE4WyWZqaE/s1600/logo.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And second, we wanted to share with you what we are choosing for our <a href="http://www.dearlillie.com/contributions">January Donation</a>.

They are such a gorgeous couple which sure does make taking photos easy. They were up visiting in New Hampshire during the same time we were so it made it perfect for a wintery themed shoot, although it sure was COLD! =) Because Lola is not feeling well and on my lap while I am trying to write this I am going to give up trying to type anything more and just share with you some of the photos:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
