Grandpa and Grandpa

Sharing a picture of my grandma and grandpa. They lived on Edwards Mt here in Southern KY. They never owned a car, no fancy clothes or fancy house, they left no inheritance at all, but they left us with so many memories and showed us so much love. I wouldnt trade my memories for silver or gold.

Chicken scratch

This is what I have started. I had not done chicken-scratch in years. Thought I would do this with a snowman and maybe use if for an apron. It will be for next winter. Ha. This is taking a lot of time. Stitches are not perfect do not look to close. Been a while since I have done this. Not sure if you can tell but it is homespun dark red/and dark cream.

What better way to spend a cold Saturday!

This is what I done today. I still will do another round of lashing to the top...I will need to get more. A fun day but now my fingers are sore.

Meet my family

We have one child, a beautiful daughter. In Oct. we got a son! We love him and welcomed him in with open arms.

Ange's tea

In Aug. I had my daughter a tea at a bed and breakfast here in our little town. (I think this was the first tea that anyone had done there) She had been out of the country 3 years in Vet school and had got to spend very little time with the family. She did not want a wedding shower, just a tea so she could spend time and make special memories. It was a lot of work but she enjoyed it so much. We are not fancy folks so it was informal but we had a great time and it was very nice. I had shopped for months at my favorite junk stores and thrift shops. As one of the favors every person got to take home a teacup and saucer. They also got a little tea bag. Every set was different. Everyone seemed to enjoy the tea. It was 90+ degrees that day so we had iced sweet tea and unsweet tea, along with the hot tea.

Just Remember

When I share my collections just remember what this little sign says. This is hanging in my kitchen.

Sharing more collections

I just thought I would share a few more of my collections.
Enjoy.

Found a special spot for the syrup container

This is where I put the little yellow topped syrup container I found at the "junk" store yesterday. Fits right in. What do you think?

Treasure Hunt

Had to start to year off right. Lookie what I found! Had so much fun finding just the right spot for each treasure!!

A Christmas gift!

Ange and Steven got me this spinning wheel for Christmas. They got it at such a deal that they couldnt pass up. She knows her Momma well and knew I would treasure it and I do!
