More Baby Quilts! August 24, 2017

Between both our families there will be

four more babies ....so I have been busy sewing

up a storm. To me it's painting with fabric!

Lots of girls are expected! Only one boy in the works.

Plus one 6 year old who never got one of my quilts before...

This one goes to Austin Texas.

Below is the "Big Boy Quilt"

Mailing off to Colorado today!

Another baby girl quilt....

Eventually will be mailed to Colorado.

This is my favorite quilt....it reminds me

of a board game! Perhaps I should make up a simple

game for it with small stuffed animals as

the tokens to use playing the game? But then I would also have to make large cloth dice! Hmmmm?

Yet another baby girl quilt!

This one will be going to England.

All my baby quilts have a pocket on the back

for the baby's name and birth date etc.

Plus a personal message. And the baby has

a pocket for some little toy or rattle.

News alert- just found out another boy will be arriving!

So I still have one more quilt to make...yay!

Have a great day whatever you are doing!

Very Awesome Morning!

One of my favorite buddies....he's so handsome!

After viewing the eclipse with good friends

we toasted the day with Martinelli's Cider

and Lindt's Dark Chocolate!

( I love my shadow hopping into the photo! )

We viewed the eclipse near Mt Shasta's

emergency helicopter pad with a bonus

viewing of the helicopter taking off!

Have a great week!

Sunday Shadows! August 19, 2017

I found this bug exoskeleton the other day...

Probably isn't the best table decoration!

But it is interesting.

Enjoy your day!

Something to Think About ~ August 12, 2017

Scenes from my little garden...

The beautiful Monarch Butterfly Caterpillar

Little hot pepper plants...

Day Lilies and Yellow Cherry Tomatoes...

"Farmers farm for the love of farming. They love to watch and nurture the growth of plants. They love to live in the presence of animals. They love to work outdoors. They love the weather, maybe even when it is making them miserable.
They love to live where they work and to work where they live. If the scale of their farming is small enough, they like to work in the company of their children and with the help of their children. They love the measure of independence that farm life can still provide.
I have an idea that a lot of farmers have gone to a lot of trouble merely to be self-employed: to live at least a part of their lives without a boss."
