The girls have really started working. Are the not the most gorgeous eggs....I was so excited for the
girls to lay colored eggs. Now every day is like Easter. But I know where the eggs are..

"Quick ! everyone look busy!

Romance and Drama!

Not long now....We have 5 more days...Have you picked your Valentine?   I know who but what
will he give me?  ok!  So I love roses and any color but white.....I would  not mind an  amazing
little bush of pink or yellow beside my red.......What do you think?  Now what would he like?
I don't imagine he would say his gift is in any shops!!!!!!   Come on ladies   quess!!!!!!!!  Hey!
it's late....you want creative at this time...........................

Little Something!

Here is the tote I made.....I was encouraged by some others I saw. This little treasure is great to tag along in your sewing bag......

This was just for me......but you could change it any way you need to.......

                                     Are you ready for the 14th of Feb?..................................

Shine the Light!

Miss Kitty loves to be in closed in things....I was doing some sewing and she decided the paper shredder was a good place to sleep.  She just couldn't understand why her mother was flashing
light at her....She gets in it a lot and I keep it turned off.....this is the first time she went to sleep in it.
The light woke her up.............................Don't do that pleaseeeeeeeeeeee!  

                                                                                         

Keep it Simple!

                           I really wanted to get into cleaning and the moment I started I knew that
                            it was not going to work. I didn't want to work......So much to do but I just
                           wanted to sew. I stared a new quilt for my bed. What a challenge to get it
                            completed.   Not that I haven't completed any, but do I clean the room first
                           or finish the quilt.   Well, I  did a little of this and a little of that........
                            So much for finishing what you start..........Just do it all!

                                        

Dress Up Tea!

I made this in 2008. I made the cute teapots on my babylock embroidery machine. I had fun doing them.  The fabric I used in this sweet teapot quilt came from a dress I found at Goodwill. It worked
sooooo good with my colors. When I finished my HB said it looked better as a quilt than a dress.

                                                   

Patchwork Bear----Patchwork Friends!

    My Bear is a treasure to my wall in the sewing room.....He sits on his pin cushion and watches
     all the cutting and quilting going on. He is a happy little bear.....His message under him says
         "Life is a Patchwork of Friends."    How wonderful to thank of every friend in a patchwork
      quilt to be cherished and loved forever. Sometimes we forget how warm and peaceful we feel
      wrapped in our old quilts.....friends can make us feel the same way when they wrap their
        arms aound us and say " I Love You! "...................................

Good Morning Sunday!

  How wonderful it is to be with my Lord everyday.......
But to share the Lord's love and peace with loved ones is a awesome and beautiful thing.

This morning was a journey I never knew would happen to my husband and I....

My amazing son preached at a church this morning and we went to support him.

Oh! he has preached before but this time was not our home church. I could have busted

my buttons as my head swelled a dozen times bigger. We were sooooo proud of him. He

is a wonderful, loving, caring, insperation, Godly, man to me. He picks me up when I'm down and makes me laugh at myself, encourages me in the word, and gave me two beautiful grandchildren.

Must say a wonderful daughter-in-law that is more like a daughter to me. My son has a heart

of love for the people. He is preparing to go on a mission trip to Africa in Feb. Our love and prayers will travel with him and for his family here as well.......................

For My Eyes Only!

I am working on this piece now. I am not very good at applique. But as I said I do love chickens.
Working on this piece has been a challenge. My poor attempt is only for me so it doesn't matter.

My inspector said it will past....I always listen to my inspector..Miss.Kitty.....I'll keep you posted!                                                                     

Day of the Chickens!

I have always wanted Chickens. I really do not know
why but I find them so very funny....I have now been
on my journey with my girls for almost two years.



They have been like friends and brightened my world
alone with all my other animals. I find them so sweet.

You know I never named them....never!!!!!!!


I have Foghorn, HenyPenny, Grace,Grandmaw,and
poor Alice. We lost Alice in November. I really miss
her. She was a white chicken with beautiful white eggs.

I ordered my new girls in Aug. They are big girls now.

My HB had to build on to my first exceeding hen house. Now I have 47 chickens. Oh! I did hand
out names with them too. I just can't help myself......Here are some pictures of the girls....Sweethearts!

          Here are my babies at eight weeks old.....They grow soooooo fast......

 This is one of the boys with his girlfriend....................

More girls with George............His is such a good looking guy and knows it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Anniversary!!!!!

                       This was last years surprise. I planted it out side and it has had roses on it even
                         in winter. I has sure grown big and strong..................
                        He 's the greatest thing there is. God has blessed me with a giving, loving, kind
                         wonderful, awesome and amazing man. We have been friends since my fourth
                        grade.I could not ask for any better. I don't know how I could make it without
                           him.  He was in the Marines when we married.....42 years ago today.....
                           Don't get me wrong we have had our ups and downs.....But I love him more
                           today than ever....I think God does that to us, when we are in his word
                           and blessings......I pray for all of you to have and find the same!!!!!!!

My Favorite Things!!!!!!!

                         I made this last year sometime....I did the tablecloth to match...this table
                          was my great grandmothers. How awesome is that. The plug in tea pots on the
                         the quilt rack,  I collected when my HB and I travel with his job.

                               This is a pillow on my bed....I pined some of my broochs to it so they stay
                                 nice....The heart is made from my grandmothers dollies........

I love to surround myself with family things....

I'll share more later.....................
