Flowers of the Week: Couch Potato

I made a bunch of flower arrangements this week that I planned to scatter all through out the house, but then I got sick and my flowers have remained on my coffee table right in front of my couch. Which isn't all bad, because since I have been sick I have spent most of my time on the couch. Ever since I was child my Mom always set me up on the couch when I was sick and I still do that to this day. The husband like it because then he can keep the bedroom, that bathroom and his dude room a germ-free zones. Does anyone else do this? At least I can enjoy my flowers hidden behind my mounds of Kleenex, Vitamin Water bottles, Nyquil and my netti pot.
My View:


I was trying to show how you don't have to spend a lot to make pretty arrangement.
This is lavender from the backyard with carnations.
Iris's and Daises in a bright vase.
Backyard roses
Unfortunately not from my backyard. I not good to my roses. And a lone Gerbera in an old bottle.
Yay for:
Things I can smile about even while feeling sick .
Wendy for playing Words With Friends with me when that is all I can muster up and do when I am lying on the couch.
Oh great, now the husband feels sick...

  1. Gorgeous flowers!!

    And my mom totally used to set me up on the couch when I was sick too. Vicks? Check. Strawberry Shortcake food tray? Check. Blanket? Check. Made being home sick a bit more bearable!

  3. I don't know how many people do this, but here's a small but genius idea: Whenever I'm sick, I keep an empty Kleenex box next to me, and I put my gross used Kleenex wads in it for storage. Nice and tidy, and keeps the germs contaminated!

    Hope you feel better lady! And Oh boy, sorry the husband is feeling sick now. My husband is a big baby and when he gets sick he always thinks he is dying.

  8. The couch is my go-to for when I'm sick too. Hubby is pretty much immune to everything, so he wouldn't mind if I invaded other spaces. Hope you feel better.
