New Stocking

I have just been sooooo busy working two jobs, plus grandbabies. I stop by your blogs and enjoy reading

them, but sometimes don't even have the time to leave a post. I am going to show a Christmas stocking that I

My Class Reunion

Sat. evening was my 35th. high school class reunion. Wow, where have the years gone.

Just seems like yesterday we were teenagers. Now we have grey hair, and many of us grandparents.

 You know I am a country girl from WV, I went to the same school (which no longer exits) for 12 years.

There were 28 kids in my graduating class. We had a wonderful meal with lots of laughs and reminising.

And my son and Kelly May Brown provided the music. What an awesome night to remember.

I will share a few photo's. Only about half of the students attended along with a few teachers.

the Mathias High School class of 1976.


I am in the front row, 2nd. from the right.




My husband Ronnie and me.

My son Luke, and Kelly May Brown,
they did an awesome job. Kelly has the most wonderful voice and Luke is one awesome guitarist.
I was very proud!

New Bonnets and surprise gift from a special friend!

I was able to go to a hobby lobby and buy some of the most beautiful fabric from their 1900 Quilt Series collection, I think that was the correct year.

It is the most beautiful fabric and really has that old time worn look. It actually has areas that look stained,
like it is fabric of old.

Since this fabric was sooo expensive. I was only able to make 4 of these bonnets. I am charging $21.99 plus shipping for each bonnet.

Please go to my selling blog to purchase if interested. http://farmhouseprimssellingblog.blogspot.com/

And then I received the most beautiful pillow from Linda of Parker's Paradise, Linda does such nice
needlework. I love it Linda, thank you soooo much!

And not only that she added two of her wonderful beeswax hanging ornies, they are awesome!!!

 Thank you so much Pam, you have a heart of gold and you are a wonderful prim friend. Check out

We have a Winner!!!!

I want to thank all of you lovely ladies, my awesome prim friends for entering my 250 followers giveaway!
I had a total of 51 entries.

I put all of the names in one of my old farm bowls that I love. And I just said alright Lord, let me pick the
right lady. Well you are not going to believe this story.
I stirred and stirred to make sure all the entries were distributed evenly.

Well I picked, " Rene", "Sew Many Raggedies",  then I walked over to the table and saw this one little folded up paper laying at the side of one of my books. I thought Oh no, how did that happen, I thought I had every little piece of paper in there. What am I going to do, well to be fair, I thought I am going to have to put that name in and draw again.
I opened the paper to look at the name and you will never guess what name it was, RENE  of Sew Many Raggedies again.

Well Congratulations Rene, you are meant to be the winner, that just confirmed it, He He
Please send me your address and I will get your flag and bonnet out to you. I hope you like your goodies!!!

My new shelf from Firecracker Kid

Carol "Firecracker Kid"  and I did a swap. I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted because,

Carol and her hubby make the most awesome woodcrafts and I just want everything.

 I especially love kitchen shelves, cabinets and kitchen decor, but I don't have any wall space left.

 I decided on a shelf with a peg rack. I was going to put it in my hair salon, but decided that it was so

 beautiful that I wanted it somewhere, where I could see it everyday and enjoy it.

   And she also sent the cutest wool pin keep, it is beautiful. Thank you Carol, I love everything,

you are awesome!!!!
