I'M BACK!!!

HOME




Hello My friends,
I have returned from a very lovely and hard week at the same time. I had fun but it is all so bittersweet.

My father was putting on the tough act while I was there but I could tell it was a struggle. Mom was killing herself not wearing her cast and running around. I got very angry with her but she is 73 yrs old. What can a youngin say to someone that old and set in their own ways?
Here you will see my folks and daddy's garden. He planted this all himself by laying in the dirt to do it. That is how he gets his crop and weeds it. He lays in the dirt as he can't do it any other way. That is one stubburn man!!!

Look at his flowers. They are beautiful. This is where I grew up and I wouldn't change a thing. His sunflowers are just lovely and something that always makes me think of him. See the little bee?

Well I have alot of catching up to do and auctions projects to do. I did get some stitching done while I was home. I have to finish up the edges and put a back on it. I will show you all that in a day or two.
Have a good one. Hugs,Pea

Ol' Time Noise Makers


Hello everyone,
what a week. I tell ya if I get to sit for two minutes it will be something.
I have just listed a set of three noise makers on eBay.
I made these my version of a Back Porch Pickins pattern. Thank you my friend. What a joy they were to make.*SMIRK*

I feel like I could sleep for a week. I am rushing like a mad woman to take off in two days for sweet Home- Montana. Ya see my pa isn't well and then Ma had to go and trip over the dog. She be hobbling around like a crazy woman so I am off to give them a hand and leaving my bunch to do for themselves. OH boy I don't want to think about the house when I get back. Or anything else for that matter.
I will be checking my email and around here but it will be limited as Mom has dial up. I know, I know who still has that? A lady that barely knows how to send a email... So hopefully I can teach her a thing or two as well. Ha ha!
Be good ya' all and I will be back before ya know it!
Hugs,Pea

I just love how these turn out. I am having so much fun with them.. I feel a bit naughty when I make the wicked side...A big goober huh? But ya know it is fun to be naughty now and then... LOL


I am afraid that will be it for a few days. I am toast girls. I have sewed and painted myself to a frazzle and I am wiped out. I don't know how some of you do this..?

Hugs,Pea

This beauty may be sweet looking but mark my words my friends she has a dark side.. LOL OH what fun this little gal was. Trying to make her pretty with a bit of up to something look... Worked on it for over 5 days none stop. Choosing just the right fabrics and trims. I have had this head with those eyes staring at me for about 2 months now and I couldn't stand it any longer. LOL
