So, we have this bay window right? And its big, and pretty, and has a decent amount of room for a display in it. That decent amount of room is usually covered in all kinds of detritus of the house. It leaks cold air like a sieve. You can feel it flowing over your hand like a liquid if you put your hands on the bottom.<\/p>\n

Not today. Not any longer. I did a thing. I took everything out of it. The Terrarium. The random horse statue. The weirdly healthy african violet. All re-homed (some of it needs to be permanently re-homed, but I’ll get there).<\/p>\n

Once I had it clear, I cut several pieces of 3\/4 inch foam insulation to fit in it and covered the shelf.<\/p>\n

Then I had to trim it to make it look pretty.<\/p>\n

Once it was (almost) completely covered, I hit my stash. A couple years ago I made a quilted circle skirt. I had a fair amount of the cotton batting left over that I should have thrown out years ago. I used that to cover the foam insulation and make it look like snow. Its cotton with no glitter in it so we don’t have to worry about microplastics. I used scraps to fill in the gaps that I couldn’t get into with the foam core.<\/p>\n

My ability to throw things out has taken a huge hit, but hey. It looks amazing.<\/p>\n

Once it was covered, I broke out the lasercut village display Michele gave us years ago. It is really pretty and I love it. I hung two strings of LED lights around it, and added our window candles. It looks so cheery and light!<\/p>\n

I sent pictures to Michele. Hopefully she likes them.<\/p>\n

I can’t feel cold air pouring out of the windows anymore, so hopefully that is all set, too. It would be nice to not have to plastic the window this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
