Do you have a cozy spot for yourself at home or in your close surroundings? What does it look like? My She Shed
My She Shed looks like a home away from home. With no one but Max knows where I am. That is how my husband knows where I am, and he uses Max.😂He does not know how to keep a secret yet😂
If you do not have such a sanctuary yet, what makes a place cozy to you?
@WorkingitThrough2 a she shed interesting🤔🤔 is it pink? With soft toys everywhere?
@Tinywhisper11
It is not pink Tiny, but there is plenty of space to play or watch tv and we can walk around my huge yard and watch the squirrels. Oh I have several baby dolls in the She Shed😂
@WorkingitThrough2 yaaaay! I can't wait to come visit. But you will have to push me around your big yard 😁♿♿
@Tinywhisper11 oh and dont worry I'll bring some pink paint 😁
@Tinywhisper11
Tiny, I don't mind pushing you around. It would be an Honor❤️
@WorkingitThrough2
Nice that you have your SheShed to spend quality time just with yourself!
@amiablePeace77
I do ! Since all I have for regular heat in winter is a wood stove in a large (too large) living-room, I have an old armchair, the dog bed, a standing lamp and a light desk on casters next to the heat. I tend to use the same spot in summer as well.
@Fradiga
That place sounds so cozy, I bet the old armchair adds a special feature to it. 😀
@Fradiga that sounds really cozy.
@Fradiga I bet when Xmas comes and you put a little tree up. It would make a awesome photo. I can picture it in my mind ❤
@ouiCherie tropical garden😍 wow that's cool
@ouiCherie
Wow! It must be so nice to sit there in the evening and watch the moon smiling at you 😊. My favorite place is sitting under a tree in my garden and smelling the leaves from my curry tree.
@amiablePeace77 😮😮😮😮 curry grows in trees 😮😮 I did not know that
@Tinywhisper11
Sadly not the curry bags we buy in the supermarkets, that is a mixture of different spices, but hey, those curry leaves taste very nice too although! 😀
Yes in my den … a chair and a half I can curl up in with my kitten pillow and Star Wars blanket ! Otherwise my deck in various hammocks deck chairs fire table on a cool evening …. 💕💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful kitty pillow and star wars blankie 😂😂😂😂 awww your adorable ❤
@Tinywhisper11
I am what is known as a middle lol 😂 never too old to have things that make you feel younger 💕💕💕
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful it's ok sweetie ❤ whispers" I have unicorn blankets" don't tell people ok 😁
@Tinywhisper11 wow unicorn blankets announces this amazing fact.
hugs
@soulsings nooooo! 😂😂😂😂 don't announce it it's our secret😂😂😂😂
@amiablePeace77 I have two. First the willow tree in the garden where I like to sit and watch the sunrise and all the birdies
Second one in the carehome, we have like our own mini appartments. So I like to sit in my bed, with my little fountain on, relaxing music playing, nice lights and my lil rabbit running around
@Tinywhisper11 wow you have a little rabbit. What is their name?
@soulsings his name is gizmo. We are not allowed to have pets here at the carehome. But my owners surprised me with him, they managed to get him for me, as he's classed as my therapy pet ❤❤ heeeesssss the cutest little thing
@Tinywhisper11 wow he is amazing. I guess he does not take much attention to keep him.
Hi Gizmo. Zazu the talking parrot says "Hey buddy!"
My couch nest. I’m sensitive to certain textures and have chronic pain, so I love having soft items around me that can also be supportive. I have a large dog bed that I covered in a fleece blankets, a fleece back rest, and tons of pillows and squishmallows for body support and comfort. The dog bed looks like a human bean bag chair, but it is full of foam pieces instead. It allows me to shift the filing to move the support, but I can also curl up in it too. I have my couch and recliner pushed together to make one large surface that everything is on. It is a little bit to get in and out of, but it is worth it.
@Bndonovan02 sounds really nice!
@Bndonovan02 gives you a gentle hug ❤ bless you chronic pain is not nice. But that does sound super cosy ❤❤sends you a healing rainbow 🌈🌈
@Tinywhisper11 Thank you. I appreciate that. 💜💜
@amiablePeace77 My cozy spot at home is my room. There isn't much because I just moved in. I have a bed, closet, desk, and chair. There's not much but it's my cozy spot since I spend the most time at home in my room. After a long day the only place I want to be in is my room.
@jzheng2025 I am thoroughly impressed with the simplicity of your life. I have so much stuff "that I may need some day." I keep donating stuff to charities but I still have more to donate.
You are so fortunate that you have a simple life and are grateful for it. Wanting more than I have is a source of suffering.
@amiablePeace77
I would say my cosy spot is in my armchair with my furry blanket.
@Harmony8682
Armchair and furry blanket sounds cozy for sure, especially for the cooler autumn evenings 😊
