"GETTING CRAFTY"

(4/28/08 to 5/2/08)

I Love to Stitch Pillows and Kitchen Towels. It relaxes me at night and I stitch outside while the kids are playing, I think back to many other ladies crafting after the chores are done for the day. I take pride in my neat, close stitches and am always thinking of new stitcheries to do. I am welcomed by ideas from my kids books, cartoons, and my magazines. I Enjoy walking into a room and seeing a pillow being displayed that I have worked hard on!

My roses coming back to life after a long sleep, I worked hard last year when we first moved in trimming them up, I hope to see the results soon.
HOSS saying a "HELLO" to all of my new Friends in BlogLand! He is our gentle giant during the day but at dusk he turns into a big baby because of his poor eyesight.

My Lavender, not sure what kind and I need to clean the leaves out and I THINK trim...Not sure...Something else to read up on and learn.

Welcome to the "FARM GIRL BLOG-A-THON WEEK- 2"

THEME: "FARM GIRL HEART" .....WHAT BEING A FARM GIRL MEANS TO YOU.

Being a Farmgirl means Living Simply to me. After living in town with a house on both sides of us, close enough to see into our neighbors livingroom, We were ready for a change and fell in love with our first house! I can have a Garden and our kids can run freely in our back 5 acres and I don't have to ALWAYS be on the lookout. We have the ability to fulfill our dream of owning our Horse and have as many dogs as we wish!

Growing up I have lived in many Apartments and subdivisions and never really had a yard. My parents were not one to worry about recycling or reusing. We bought TONS of stuff. I'm not sure what the defining moment was for me to see how I could change how much stuff we bought or to see how much stuff we could recycle. I know that I want my kids to grow up to appreciate the Earth and each other.

Living Simply and Enjoying the moments~ This is what being a Farmgirl means to me!

My surprise package and a Play

This is Crystal at her play last night, she did wonderful and only forgot some of the words. We are so proud of her!


I received a nice Package from a drawing that I entered sometime ago, it's a lovely package of fabric, needles, doileys and finished squares that I'm hoping to make into a small quilt. I had to quickly fold all of my laundry to lay it out on my bed, so excited and keep playing around with the patterns! ElectricDunce from MaryJane's Farmgirl Connection has outdid herself on her package!

I also joined Amy's new OH Farmgirl's Chapter. I'm excited about this! Since moving to this house and planning on a Gardening and canning fruit, I'm going to learn all I can. Please stop by MaryJane's Farmgirl Connection and say "HI"!
