No Snow


With everyone talking about all the snow they got I looked out the window and I have to say I am glad I don't have any. I know it looks beautiful but you have to shovel it, drive in it and let the wet dog in after being out in it. So I am glad No Snow!

Laundry Quilt


I love this quilt and was sad I couldn't find a place to hang it.
My Laundry room wall was to small and then it hit me....
Hang it on the wall out side the Laundry room!

Love it!

Moving Fun


I haven't been posting because so busy getting our new place ready to move into.
When you move from the suburbs to the country there is a lot to learn. 
Septic systems, wells, animals, ponds and never forget stinging needles.
We are re carpeting, painting and general remodeling. 
Took a break and this is a picture of our back yard. 
We have a lot of deer and I am learning which flowers they will and won't eat. LOL
I will be so glad to be done and moved in!

Stitching Spring


I am so ready for it to be warm. I am thinking if I stitch something spring it will get here that much quicker.

Found My 2014 Word


I have been stewing and stewing for days over what my word for 2014 would be... I just couldn't decide, it was a hard choice and I decided after all of my new adventures and all the beautiful scenery I want to continue enjoying, appreciating and experiencing my adventure, so my word is Prosper.
My Grand Daughter Zayla made my picture!
She did a great  job!
