When I feel afraid or think I’ve lost my way…

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path”  Psalm 119: 105 You may remember me mentioning a little boy nearby that is the same age as my twins who was recently diagnosed with cancer.  His Mom is friends with a friend of mine from church and I follow their [...]

Ahhh-choo! Sniff! Sniff! Oh my, a post FULL of photos!

Sorry about that!  Didn’t mean to sneeze all over ya! We seem to have a bit of the crud going around here. About every two days since right before Christmas, seems like somebody else comes down with the goop.  We’ve been passing around a wonderful strep bug and colds and goop and ear infections.  Yuck!

Etsy schmetsy!

Spent the better part of um, all day, loading new stuff in to the etsy shop.  Wanna sneak peek? Hmmm…and did I happen to mention that if you find something you can’t live without over in my etsy shop and you just happen to be a blog subscriber (it’s easy to do – just look [...]

…and all through the garden

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the garden Not a pea was stirring, Oh, I do beg your pardon. The tools were all hung in the barn with care, In hopes that a new harvest soon would be there. Our little peas were napping all snug in their beds while visions of tomatoes, [...]

It’s not about the stuff…

Loving the Liverpool

But one day, while at a doctors appointment for me, my doc said, [...]

Oh Day 6 – how wonderful you are…

So after a hectic, um, year…I’m trying to unwind a bit and relax before the holidays.  And thus…I’m on day 6 of nothingness. Today’s nothingness included a trip to Yellow Springs.  We went to Clifton Mill for lunch to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. And I ate THIS – all by myself.  Oh yes I did! [...]

On the fifth day of doing nothing…

…ok, let’s face it.  I’m not really doing nothing.  Ah heck, I’ve been crafting away.  You know how you can get on little kicks of things that are just enjoyable and you can’t stop?  I believe it’s referred to as an “addiction” – maybe an obsession, a persistent little nagging itch in my fingers that [...]

Day three just blended right into day four…still, trying for nothing

Day three just blended right into day four of my tour of nothingness before Christmas.  Here’s what I’m liking best – I have time to craft for ME!  I have time to try new things – like these flowers I’ve been eyeing.  Love the vintage look of them and now that I practiced making a [...]
