I am thinking that it’s a great day for finishing up some models, working on new designs and having a plan! Sitting with my cup of tea looking over the soy beans in the neighboring field, checking the woods for the little deer that visits (saw a deer and her fawn instead), and watching the kittens [...]

Top o’ the morning dear friends! The sun is shining through and it’s looking to be in the 80’s today. Sounds like a perfect day to me.
Is everyone making their St Patty’s Day dinner of corned beef, cabbage and potatoes? I like to serve glazed carrots too. I can’t wait! It’s my yearly favorite meal. [...]

It was definitely a music weekend! Remember Liann made alternate for State KMEA?!! Turned out one of the other cellists had a college visit that could not be changed and Liann made it into State!!!

The chart will be carried by both Hoffman Distributing and Norden Crafts at Nashville Market in two weeks. And in fact, the model will be at [...]

Midnight Stitching’s STO Retreat design!

Ms Lavon really came through with her red hot needle and stitched up the retreat piece from the Stitcher’s Time Out Retreat earlier this month very quickly. And it’s so beautiful. Love the warm color she picked for the design which was a variegated DMC thread. Every stitcher picked their own color packet to go [...]

Sunflowers are such happy looking flowers! I found these growing in our woods. Wish the whole weekend was as sunny but our chimney proved to be our “burden” and we have 22 feet of work ahead of us. Hubby, my Dad, father in law and brother in law were hard at work Saturday, Sunday and [...]
Catching you up to date!

I’ve been quiet for a bit because my Dad was coming to stay with us for awhile and so we built a room for him off our family room. Turned out so nice, with a bright big window and plenty of space for a computer desk so he can keep up with news and emails. Our family [...]

It might be a rainy day but I had to share this picture I took of Jacqui and her Mama recently. They’re both so beautiful. When I saw them “together” I thought it was a great opportunity to catch mother and daughter in one shot.
Rain is such a soothing sound. There’s been so much thunder and [...]
