Then I realized that you can interpret it another way as well: “Bee Home.” So that’s when I latched on to the idea of using a bee theme, depicting a bee hive as a Bee Home. Cute, eh?

Today I replaced the ivy background with a new (vintage) image of a bee pattern. The beehive on the banner is a vintage image as well. Needless to say, I like vintage images. I like most things old and full of character. (Sorry, you can’t really see the background if you’re viewing on a mobile device.)

I modified the color of the bee graphic to coordinate with my site color scheme.

While all the world is in an uproar and a lockdown, I’m just plugging away at my usual pace, by myself, as usual. I wanted to let you know first of all, I’ve revamped BlueHouseonMain.com—just call it spring cleaning. A new banner head and a slightly new color scheme. Oh, that’s right! You’re there right now? Then you’ve already seen it! Actually it incorporates a new WordPress theme, which has brought it to its present state.

Love yellow daffodils with my blue house!

Yes, I’ve decided I’m going to have a go at repurposing this site. Since I’m no longer renovating—just repairing (oh, the beauties of an old house)—I thought it would be fun to have a blog oriented toward house stuff, of course, but maybe to include what I’m thinking about in the way of making things in the future. It’s all talk right now, but I’ve been thinking too…And I’m itching to be a maker again…

And yes! It’s Spring!
