A finishing kind of day

My mom...here in our first selfie...helped me finish these two fun projects. Or lets just say SHE finished and I was a tiny bit of helper. One is the Shepherds Bush fold project...borrowed pattern with my over dyed threads and buttons. The other is the Needleworker cross stitch pattern attached to the liner of a longaberger Boardwalk  basket. Love them both and so excited that I finished the shaker box top in record time. Guess binge watching the first season of House of Cards does have its advantages.

Happy Memorial Day

Beautiful service this morning honoring all who have served this great country of ours. Especially  beautiful was the bald eagle....a great tribute.

Patriotic Present

Monica gave me this lovely Civil War Needlebook kit for my birthday and I stitched as fast as I could. Because the best part was it came with finishing. So when we visited in April she gave it to me finished. It is so nice and a great addition to my patriotic sewing things.

It's Bee season

The Easter was taken down but the shelf was pretty empty. So glad to get my bee stuff out. Many lovely handmade gifts that remind me of my great friends. I am blessed to surround myself with people and things that make me happy.

Spring is here

Love this wool wall hanging done on toweling hanging on my red front door. Just finished last week...perfect for this beautiful spring day. Could keep this weather all the time.

Looking back

Wow...looked to find the oldest picture on my computer near this date and this came up. It was from 2006. Seems like forever ago. He is still a hard worker and loves the outdoors. Can't believe this was nine years ago....seems like only yesterday.  This sweet boy is always in my heart and in my prayers.

Another March birthday

Aunt Mary loves birds and this reminded me of her. I was able to get it done on her birthday, March 6th, to give to her on Sunday, Caleb's birthday. I am thrilled that she liked it.
