Good Morning Thursday's Child



  Well, I am busy working on Julies Boho shawl. Coming right along and seems to be easier to understand this time around. Practice makes perfect I guess.











 This is the first one that I started and ripped out to this point. You can compare where I am now on Julie's shawl to the point where I stopped ripping out on the first one. Looks like number 3 will be coming soon after number 2. I think I already have that one sold.
I forgot to show the first finished one. I have sent it to Shari but waiting for her to let me know she received it. This is what it looks like.















I also have, HAVE to get started on those Christmas tree skirts. I don't know why but I am always afraid to make that first cut in the fabrics. I promise I will have something to show you tomorrow on those. God willing and the creek don't run dry.
Phoebe and Baxter says hello too!
        

Have a great day everyone and let the sunshine in. It does amazing things for the soul, spirit and emotional well being.

Good Wednesday Morning
Hope you're all ready for another beautiful day. 

I over did yesterday and Weed whacked, mowed and weed whacked some more. I can't hardly move today. Sprained my ankle slipping on a spot of wet grass. Figures, I would find the one spot that was wet. hahah.

Guess I won't be doing or need to do any yard work for a couple of weeks, thank God. 
I have loads to do inside.  I have three Christmas tree skirts to make similar to this one before Christmas.

My Neighbor has 3 daughters that she want's to give each of them one like her's sort of. These are the fabrics she picked




I've never done these but I am sure I can figure it out. I am going to do different size rows of the fabric so as to allow more variation. I have a few months to complete them but I best get started. 
I can work on them during the day and Julie's Bohemian shawl in the evening.  Haven't done much more on Julie's shawl since the first picture.

So folks, that's my plans for the next few months and I will keep you updated on them and our life on Old Arcadia Road.

Have a great day my Friends. We are sure going to give it a try.
So take a moment to smell the flowers. Wish we had scratch and sniff on here. They smell Heavenly.

Good Tuesday Morning My blogger friends.


Good morning everyone.
Sit down and have a cup of coffee  with me.



I hope that your day will be a productive and rewarding one.
I have lawn work to do today so I know mine will be productive. Not so sure how rewarding it will be, since my body will pay the price in the end.
I have several open lilies today and it is August 2nd. I will have to remember that for next year. August 1st was the grand opening and today is really grand!

I have started another shawl for my daughter Julie. I hope I can get it done faster than the first one. Sheri, yours will go out on Friday. That's payday and that's when I can afford to ship it.




Phoebe and Baxter woke up full of vim and vinegar this morning. They are always ready for whatever comes along. Except baths. hahah


So, I am off like a dirty shirt to start my day. Hope to see lots of comments when you stop by for a cup of Java and an English Muffin or Bagel.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and remember to smile at someone, its catching. It spreads like wild flowers.

Well, I tried this once before a few months ago but times being what they are right now, it couldn't be a better time to leave Facebook for a while. I have been having some very sever emotional issues with all the political BS and the world being what it is these days has made me have some meltdowns.
I am really looking for the positive side of my life and get away from all the negativity that is everywhere you turn these days. I am a pretty even keel type person and I think that it is time to do what makes me happy and what makes me happy is making and creating things for family and friends and making them smile and laugh and cry with happy tears of joy. So I hope you will take a break and come by and visit me here. I may not have a lot to share everyday but I will be posting happiness most of the time. That includes family, friends, furry family members as well as feathered family members and what everyone is up to.
Coffee is served at 5 am every morning. See you all here.
I am starting this off with my first open bloom of my Asian Lilies and the completion of my Niece, Sheri Starnes Bohemian Shawl.





I sent it to Sheri and she has now received it and it looks awesome on her. I couldn't be more proud of myself. hahaha. Looks just like the pattern


This was the pattern.
