Pictures from the old Farmhouse

My husband and I went to WV this past weekend and stayed in our old farmhouse that we are remodeling.

One thing I love about it there is the peace and quiet and love the old out buildings.

 They are home to some of the old home place treasures.

I wanted to share some photo's. You all come back now, ya hear!!!!!

Wonderful packages in the mail

Carol "Buttermilk Creek Farm"  asked me if I would like to have some fabric from her that she was

parting with. I said yes, and it arrived today. What a beautiful selection of fabric, each piece that I looked at,

I was already dreaming of what I would be making. Little doll dresses, pumpkin and scarecrow clothes,

snowman and santa outfits, table runners, my mind was just running on and on.

 I want to thank you Carol from the bottom of my heart, that was sooo sweet of you to offer the

fabric to me. I appreciate it so much. My stash of fabric usually fits in one bag, I do need to branch

out and get a plastic tote for storage now.

I met Carol though her blog. And for a long time I wanted one of her mousers, well I am crazy over

feedsacks and she made one that I couldn't resist with a feedsack apron. Am I ever proud that I

got that little mouser. I display her proudly and she also has the cutest feedsack and sheep to go with

her. If you have never seen Carol's work you don't know what you are missing. She uses so much

detail in her work. I don't know how she does it. Stop by her blog and check out her creations.

I am already in anticipation of what she is going to come up with for fall.

Birthday Celebration and some wonderful news!

Sunday we celebrated my grandson Coles' 6th. Birthday! I want to share some pictures.

The little smile on his face is worth a million dollars to me. He sure had a grand old time!!

And I want to thank each one of your for praying for my mom's arm. I went with my parents

to UVA today and the Dr. is very pleased with how her arm is healing, she is able to move

it some now. Four weeks ago he was pretty much sure she would require surgery.

I do believe in pray and I know for a fact that it helped my mom. I am just so thrilled!!!

God is good!!

Prairie Doll

I love anything prairie, I recently made this prairie doll for someone. Love how she turned out.

I used a Sweetmeadowsfarm pattern.

I stopped by to visit  Jean "Prim Crafts" a week ago, boy do I ever have fun talking to Jean.

And she is always so helpful giving me craft pointers, I am so glad I live near her.

Well she always makes sure I go home with a special treasure, She gave me one of her cute,

sunflower dolls, I put her in a flower pot, isn't she adorable. Thank you Jean, so glad you are

my friend.

Everyone please keep my mom in your prayers this week. We go back to UVA Wed. to see if

her arm is healing or if she requires surgery. It has been a long road for my mom.

I am expecting the best for her!

Happy Memorial Day!

Wow the first summer holiday weekend, how time flies. First I am thankful and grateful for the sacrifice

that our military has made for me so that I can live in freedom, and I thank all those that have served this

wonderful country of our. My father was a marine and my husband was in the army and both are really

proud of their service. So our military are dear to me.

My weekend has been low key and boy is that nice sometimes just to relax and do whatever.

I made a quick trip a week or so ago to a shop where Jean of "Prim Crafts"   has her crafts

and couldn't resist her prairie doll.  Also want to show a few pictures of some of my flowers. And today

is one of our special blogger friends birthday, stop by and wish Sheila "Seasons of thy Heart" a very

Happy Birthday!"

Wishing you a lovely Memorial Day!!!!

A little Americana

I  am going to share some pictures of some of my Americana decor that I display around my house.

Continue to keep my mom in your prayers. Her arm isn't healing as expected. We go back to UVA

June 13th. she was told if there isn't any improvement to prepare herself for surgery. I wish they would

have just done it in the beginning. She would be on the road to recovery now.

Wishing everyone a beautiful day! Much of my decor was made by other bloggers,

I smile when I display your beautiful things!!!

Just a Sarah Plain and Tall Bonnet

I have really been busy working the two jobs.  I did manage to make some bonnets, once I did a swap

and the girl requested a bonnet made from just muslin. I said are you sure and she said yes, I want it to look

simple like, "Sarah Plain and tall". Well it turned out beautiful, especially after staining. So I decided to

make another one. Plus I did make a few more, I really like how the burgundy one turned out.
