Hello again....

So lets see since my last post.... ....


My 14 year old has graduated the 8th grade (yikes he is growing fast, I love you and am so proud of your accomplishments)


My 11 year old has discovered her green thumb and has dreams of one day feeding the world with her new found talent (love it sweetheart you have such a caring personality I believe you can do it)



My 9 year old has decided riding a horse is fun fun fun (you are such an adventurous soul I love you)





And my youngest has had her first birthday and discovered that ice cream push pops are the perfect thing on a hot summer day. (Happy Birthday my little one)



And lets see what is coming soon to our life... ...

My Mom will be here soon, we are so excited to spend some time with her this summer. Its always so nice to have her visit us and we always hate to see her get back on that plane and head back home.
My garden was vandilized by the deer, they seem to love my tomatoe plants and will move heaven and earth to get to them. We are trying something different with our last attempt this season. Hopefully there will be time for them to produce this year still. We have planted some right off of our back porch in large containers. If this works, I think next year we will just do a container garden right behind the house of the back porch as the deer seem to avoid that area. They love to nibble on my flowers in the front of the house though, lol you can see them peeking in the front window nibbling away at times. I swear they are taunting me. hee hee hee

Have a great weekend and hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Birthday goodies and other stuff:)

Well today ummmm make that yesterday ...... was my Birthday. :) I had a great day with the hubby and kiddos, they even took me out to ice cream and we finished off the day with a movie at home and popcorn.

My Mom made me a beautiful Pin cushion......... I just love the colors and it will go with my collection quite nicely. Thanks Mom. :)

Speaking of Pin cushions I was at an auction the other day and managed to buy two nice rocking chair pincushions, I had tried to buy one at a previous sale and was outbid so was very happy to get both of them. Once I get them cleaned up one will be added to my collection and the other will be winging its way south to my Moms collection. :) I love these, they have a spot in the back for scissors, both sides hold three spools of thread, and lots of room for pin sticking. :) Perfect for sitting in front of the tv and stitching some stuff by hand or for a quick little mending job.....

Another little goodie that I had completely forgotten was a birthday swap that I joined at the end of last year..... I got that package in the mail the day before my birthday and it was such a great suprise. I love all of the stickpins and cute bug fabric and buttons that came with it as well. What a special treat this was.

My littlest one has discovered dollies, lol she loves this dolly (it is one of the topsy turvy ones that you pull the dress up over the one head and another head is underneath. One is awake and the other asleep.) My Mom made this for my older daughters and now the little one just loves her.

This photo is just so precious.... can't you see how excited she is to have her dolly??

Well it is late and it has been a long day so until next time.......

Happy stitching,
