Hope she likes it:)

All done..I think I should make it a wall hanging. I will let Pat decide what she wants to do with it, after all her kitchen was recently remodeled and she is still accessorizing.

I will be sure to post a picture once it is given its home....Hope she likes it:)

Learning to Quilt?

Yeh, since I have nothing else to do, like making cookies for my nephews wedding or sitting with my Dad after his open heart surgery, I thought I would learn to quilt. I was embroidering this rooster and thought it would make a cool hot pad. So I went on line to find out how to quilt....

I used a fall fabric to make my "sandwich" and pinned it all up. I also thought I would make yoyos to frame it...now I have to read what kind of stitch to use and get at it...

I will be sure to let you know how it turns out:)

Waiting for the OK

Every now and again you come across a pattern that you really like and this ghost is too fun. I did him with #20 crochet thread and I think he came out great!!! I e-mailed the designer Connie Folse and I am waiting for permission to sell. Sure hope she lets me:) but I bet I can find someone who would love him as a gift...lol


Just got word...I can sell it anywhere but on the web:( Looks like an October present it is!

10 LONG YEARS

Yes, the weather will be changing here in Western PA soon and since I am slow moving I must start the Fall Gardening.

This year I have to down size my flower gardens even more:( It took me a few weeks of crying about it, after all it took 10 long years to get it where I wanted it!

It wasn't all about the landscaping...it was a hobby. A place I would go after work and loose my thoughts. Bury my stress amongst it.

It had become another reminder of what I can no longer do. It doesn't deserve to be ignored and choked with weeds! There has to be a way to save it.

I have given parts of it to friends and family. With the brawn of my husband, I have decided what will be boxed and set by the roadside marked "free to a good home". Babies from the original flowers.

I think I will like the new design I made for the landscaping. River rocks will pave the way to walk through easily and painted markers with the type will adorn the flowers. I came across a small rock water fountain and an antique bird bath that will fill the void. I even have a spot for the hummingbirds to play!

It should last another 10 long years..............................
