I have had this quilt "Star Dance", for a couple years, finally got curtains to match. I used only one panel for a window, with a star hook so I can pull them back. What do you think? But now since my collection is complete I want a coverlet and matching homespun sheets, just another prim dream.
Just a reminder, don't forget to sign up for my giveaway, which ends June 12th. Also this week-end my husband and I went to our farmhouse in WV. Look on my blog for updated slide shows. This first picture is of an out building door, the second is the view of the mountains this morning. My husband and I went on a date last night, riding around on the back roads in the country.
Fellow bloggers, today is a milestone for me!!!! Today I have my 50th. follower!!! So to celebrate this I am offering a little giveaway. First I have the cutest little apron in the pattern of "Constance", made by Victorian Heart. Then a little cookbook by " Gooseberry Patch," " Road Trip Recipes", and a set of 4 adorable cookie cutters by " Gooseberry Patch". All you have to do to enter is be a follower (new followers are welcome to enter) plus leave me a comment on this post. I will draw the winner on June 12th. Please make sure I have an email address, so that I can get a hold of you!!! Thanks for all the followers and wonderful friendships that I have made.
I remember our veterans today, who have sacrificed so that I can live in freedom. My father was a marine in the 1950's and was always so proud of this. My husband was in the army 76-80. My son Luke was actually born at the Ft. Belvoir, Va. army hospital. I want to thank all the service men and woman for serving our great country. God Bless America!!!!
Look at this awesome gift I received in the mail today from my dear friend Andy, from "Andy's Primitive Farmhouse", didn't she do a great job!!! I love it Andy!!!!! Thank-you!!!!
OMG today I received my prairie doll from Wendy, "Primitives from the Attic", she is just sooooo cute and prim. I was thrilled to do a swap with Wendy. I have admired her creations for a long time. I love, love, love this doll and feel very priviledged to own one of Wendy's dolls. Thanks, Wendy!!!
While on my trip to Lancaster, Pa. I had to stop at a roadside stand and get some fresh rhubarb and strawberries. Here is a cake that I made:
4 cups cubed raw rhubarb
2 cups fresh sliced strawberries
3/4 cup sugar ( Splenda works)
3 oz. pkg. strawberry jello, dry ( diet works)
1 1/4 cup water
1/2 stick butter melted
Layer ingredients in order given in a 9 x 13 " baking pan. Do not mix. Bake in 350 degree oven for 35 min.
Serve plain or with cool whip on top. Makes 12 servings.

It is hard to believe I have had my blog for 10 years. I am married to my sweetheart Ronnie for 40 years now. I have a son and daughter, a wonderful son in law and 4 wonderful grandchildren. I work two jobs. I am a full time school nurse at a wonderful country school and a part time hairdresser. I love all types of crafting. I love making primitive prairie bonnets, dolls, love wool applique, making wreaths and cross stitching.
