I experience great satisfaction in those things I've created for others (and myself) to enjoy. I am a wife and mother to four great children while enjoying 3 dogs, 3 horses, 2 cats and a goldfish. I have a fondness for chocolate and anything sweet. I'm often reminded that laughter really is the best medicine. Life is good! :)

Interests: Sewing, reading, cooking, painting, photography and anything that makes me laugh. I also enjoy good movies, books, soft blankets and making things grow such as beautiful flowers and a bountiful garden. I also love creating new and fun things. I love to work with my hands and enjoy life with my family. Life is full of possibilities!

Moving is never easy! The endless boxes to pack and unpack, the mess to clean up and learning to adjust to new surroundings can be difficult. Yes, moving is NO FUN. But, sometimes moving is necessary. Thankfully I don't have to actually "move" boxes or physically change my address. I... Continue reading

The key to happiness in 2011...

So, as maybe you've noticed (or probably not if comments/replies are any indication) I've been MIA since Christmas. I suppose you could say I am at a crossroads of sorts as to whether to continue on with my blog/shop or not which is partially the reason why I've been neglecting... Continue reading

Still...Still...Still...

I'm sorry I've been away for so long! I don't know what it is about the holidays but from Thanksgiving forward, my life seems to go into warp speed and I'm not able to do as much as I'd like due to "have-to's" instead of "want-to's". Anyway, I plan on... Continue reading

Glad you like the projects, Amy! I had a lot of fun making the clothesline garland with my kids. We have it strung around our basement tree and I swear it puts a smile on my face each time I see it :) Happy decorating! ♥

Hard to believe it's already November.... It's time to think about Thanksgiving, Christmas and the upcoming stress those holidays create, right? Nope! Not me this year.

Out with the old and in with the new...

I've been bitten by the spring cleaning bug. Yes, I know it's fall and almost Halloween but nevertheless I've been bitten.

Thanks for the comment Brynn <33 Honestly this donation will be the hardest to give away yet *sniff* but I suppose when it hurts it's extra worth it, right? Guess I'll have to save my pennies and buy me another quilt kit...
