Ever Wonder ????



Did you ever see a really old house and wonder what it must have looked like in it's prime ?? I do all the time and this house had me so intrigued, I had to get a picture of it. My "dream" is to buy and old home like this and renovate it, but try to keep alot of it's original floor plan, etc. ...

For now...here are a few pics of my front porch and front of my little shed:




And.... Here is a LOVELY swap goody I received from Tanya Voll, from Australia....Isn't it just awsome ?? Thank you Tanya !



And now...This is a pair of childrens vintage rubber boots I got at an antique store...i am geting rid of stuff and just don'treally have a clue as to what I want to do with these, so I am selling them for $10 and $5 shipping...Email me through blogger if interested....




Have a great day,
Robin

*Liberty Angel* Freebie Stitchery Doodle


First off, let me say how bad I feel being away so long.....I just had so much going on ( not bad ...LOL) and no place to work on anything, and have no access to my "business " computer, so I haven't had pics to be able to download or anything...
I am having the BESTEST Mother's Day ever so far !! Had almost all of my children and their spouses at Church with me,,,So awesome !! Went to my sons home ( Trevor and super lovely daughter in law Erica) for lunch with everyone, home to clean up super pooch's ( Hank) super POOOOH !!!...LOL ...picked it all up and sprayed it down...Now, normally, noone lets me do much of anything on Mother's Day, but sadly, this is one chore they are all more than happy to let me keep for the day !!!
Now...here is a doodle I did up last year for an online mag that is no longer running, so I am posting it here as a freebie...PLEASE, ..send me pics if you do it up in any form, I would love to post your lovely finish...
God Bless you all in a big way today !!
Love,
Robin

I've been reduced to my kitchen table for a craft room....


Well here is my mess in my kitchen...Finally decided to drag my sewing machine and basket of unfinished items out and get something done before I do my Cross Stitch challenge....My weirdness won't allow me to start something new, till I finish these.
I had to give my craft room up temporarily, as I await the return of my son who is in Prison...He'll be home any day now, just waiting for the word...Praying he stays strong and allows the good work that the Lord started in him to continue.....

Here is a pic of my youngest daughters "creativity"....LOL...She just had to paint all over her guitar...She is such a weeny......




But seriously...she does have a crafty personality...Here is a pic of her necklace she finished....she taught herself how to do this by printing off directions online....



Here is a pic of my Maple Tree right outside my front door.... we woke up to snow yesterday and it is Sunny and 55 degrees today...see the buds on the tree ? Spring is here no matter what falls from the sky....LOL



Now...here is Hank...he says come closer....up close and personal...got somethin to tell you....


Hanks says...Read your bible daily....


And here he is all cozy in his blanket after he rolled in mud and had to be hosed off before he came back in....what a naughty boy...he needs to read his Bible...LOL

Have a fun rest of the day !!!!
