Imagine the trouble we could get into!!! Crayons are my favorite thing n the world! My sons think I am a little weird...... Every summer I would visit my Papaw's farm in Arkansas and I would get a new roll of butcher paper and a new BIG box of crayons!!!! Bliss!!!!!

Thank you so much, Teresa! Did you see the owl's crown? It is one of my favorite things that I learned from you, I have them everywhere! Gotta love the bullseye!
Quiet and Prayers
Right now it is perfectly "still" in my house, which is a rare occasion with all the men and doggies in my life. My Sweet Husband took my little monster on errands and my pre-teen is still asleep. So, I think I should put something on my neglected blog and make a promise to myself to post more...
Hi Laurie! Thank you so much for your sweet comment, you made my morning! You are an AMAZING photographer!

I absolutely ADORE this! Of course, I rushed over and purchased it right away, can't wait! It has been a tough week and I needed a pick me up! My younger sister's breast cancer has returned in a few spots on her bones. So this will give myself, my mom and my sister something fun to work on "together over the distance" while she goes through chemo again. You are a blessing!

So, I've been waiting to show you this and finally got it all ready to show you! I am proud to say I designed this carry-all! I've been pretty into stitching lately, if you haven't noticed!! You see, I have a trust issues (I admit it 100%) even when it comes to patterns. I think I'll goof it ...

A couple of months ago I started this "big" Free Style Embroidery panel. Happy to report it's finished! I don't think I'll add another thing. Where could I anyway? Here's some close ups: It's a little bittersweet to have it finished, ya know? I usually worked on it early in ...

My collection of blue glass is growing ever so slightly. I took a trip to an antique co-op here and found some pretty blue glass jars. I love the tall one, perfect for wild flowers and the little one with the wire closure I couldn't pass up. I can't wait to fill them with flowers! I also found t...

Love the Marie Antionette!
Living Like Royalty...
Not champagne and bon-bons. Embroidery, the long forgotten pastime of Royals and aristocrats. While waiting all day for the carpet cleaner (who arrived several hours late) I embroidered. First I joined Theresa's E Zine: And here are some pieces of my sampler: And I am helping Am...
Wow! What a whimsical, flirty flower! Your embroidery is exquisite!
Off to preschool, then back to stitching!
Stitch along
I'm participating in Amy's 39 square stitch along. I have finished my first two squares. So, I thought I'd share them with you. We are suppose to stitch a square a day for 39 days. I'm still uncertain about the direction in which I am heading. At first, I thought I would stitch something ...
I love my three boys, (husband,and two little boys) even though they leave dirty laundry on the floor and never replace the toilet paper roll. I love my little sister,who is the bravest person I know. And I love to create beautiful things, (when I am not picking up laundry). Oh well! Love life!
