Spriiiiiinnggggg!

So I think I had a brain fart on Friday when I tried to post this. I went on a lovely walk and found these flowers around the side of my house.Aren't they pretty? I just love to find surprises like that.

Yes spring has finally arrived and the week-end was lovely.


I am planning my annual Spring cleaning fest tomorrow and so I will spend today picking up and putting everything out of my way.

I can remember my mom-in-law coming up and helping me with the cleaning when we had the big house. What a chore...it was awful.But the visit from her was so lovely.I miss her terribly.She was such a great lady.

Better get busy tomorrow will be here before I know it...

Have a blessed day everyone...Pam

dreaming a dream

Well gosh, it has been a very lonnnng time since I have visited. Isn't that picture lovely? It is a place in Ireland and well with St.Patrick's Day just around the corner i have been dreaming of Ireland.

You see I want to go there and live there and just be. I have wanted to do this since I was about four years old and my dear sweet auntie told me a story about a leprechaun. I have always been fascinated by leprechauns.The whole pot of gold under the rainbow thing.Wonderful!!

This year I have even started a tiny little fairy village that I am going to put out in my front yard under the azalea bush. If a leprechaun should happen by it will be more than welcome to stay there. I am in the process of making some tiny houses for my village. I will plant some small mosses and other shade loving plants around the village and it will look magical.

Well, have a happy St. Patrick's Day! Have a blessed day.

Good day everyone!!!March is finally here and I love it. Even though It has come in a lion (very cold here)-I know that only means that it will be going out as a lamb!

Isn't funny how this usually works out right? I can hardly remember a time when it didn't. I found this picture on flicker and thought it was too cool.

I am still working on bunnies as I had a death in the family (dear Aunt Virginia) and didn't much feel like sewing. Aunt Virginia gave me my love of quilting. I can remember going over to her house and she always had a quilt going on in her frame. She would sit and quilt and we would get under the frame and play like it was a secret hiding place. Good times, good times. She will be missed.

I think I will make a quilt in her honor. I haven't decided what pattern yet , maybe some kind of flower. She was also the lady who took care of the flowers for our church every Sunday. She had the most beautiful flowers and would pick lovely boquets every week and bring them to Sunday school for the vases on the pulpit. Every now and then she would get some from my aunts but they usually were from her gardens. I think her favorite color was lavender but I will make the quilt blue and yellow as that will tie in with my new coilor scheme for the house!!Yes, I am redecorating the house. That will be for a later post!!!

Well, I guess I have rambled on enough for today. Have a blessed day and take care. Pam

Meet Miss Missy!!!

Have I properly introduced you all to Miss Missy? Well here she is...I just love her so much. She does embroidery too. I have to admit that I am not very up on that part of the machine. I just love the features on her. I wish I had a little girl to sew pretty dresses for.

Right now I am concentrating on bunnies. I am convinced that if I make them spring will come. Let's hope I am right on this assumption.

I have been buying lots of seeds and can't wait till next month when I can start to plant them for seedlings. I am not getting as excited as I did last year as I put too many out too early and had a lot of frozen little plants.I have learned my lesson though, patience is a virtue you know.

Has everyone heard of the new trend...shopping smartly? Hey, I guess I have been cooler than I thought!!I never dreamed that shopping sales and using coupons would become a trend, for me it's an everyday way of life.

Well, enough on my ramblings, I will try and post pocs of my bunny family sometime this week.
Until then, have a blessed day. pam

Sharing in the LOVE!!!

So, I hope everyone had a great week-end. I sure did! The funny thing about VD day is EVERYONE in the familia wants to get in on the love. Even the dog and cat called a truce and decided to get along. See? They even took a nap together!!

I thought this was too ca-ute!!!

We had a very nice dinner, I grilled steaks and lobster on the grill (it was even snowing) and then we watched Fool's Gold. I loved this movie! My husband even thought it was o.k. (he is more of an action movie type). I had to admit I did a little dreaming of oceans and beaches and warm weather activities!!!

Sissy went back to the ski resort and life is back to normal. The sun is shining and I am once again thinking of spring and all the hopes and promises that this special season holds for us all.

I am going to bake my bread this morning so I can sew this afternoon.I am making bunnies!!!Lots and lots of bunnies. I will share them after they are completed.

Have a blessed day. Pam

Gettin' Ready for my Holiday!!!

Did I mention to you all that Valentine's day is like my very favorite day? Well, it is and I have several reasons why. Would you like to hear my reasons? I thought you might...
1. It's all about the love. Hearts, smooches, poems, flowers, oh my goodness...I just can't get enough.
2.There is no expectation of gifts. You don't have to buy everyone a gift on Valentine's day... all that you really have to do is love.
This is a picture of my sweetie with Mr.Dingle...He got lots of love while sissy was here. Yes, Sena came home just in time for Valentine's Day. Gotta love my kid.



3.The sweetness. Yes, Valentine's Day is all about the sweets around here. These cookies will be all gone by tomorrow evening. I made big ones and small ones but most importantly is that they are all hearts.
See that white cup on the right? That is my measuring cup for my sugar cookies...It isn't a real cup but when I am measuring out the sugar and flour I use this and they always turn out perfectly. I keep very good care of this cup as it is quite old and if it broke I don't think I would be able to make these cookies any longer.

I also should comment on my cookie cutters, I have an entire drawer filled with cookie cutters but for some reason I use these hearts more than any. Sometime I will show you all my collection, some are quite old and some of them are metal ...I love them all.



Well dear friends I will quit blubbering on about this special day of mine/ours?!!. Have a wonderful Valentine's day and remember...All You Need Is Love!!!!

Sissy's Here!!!

So I was taking pictures of my pretty flowers and who should walk through the door but my special pretty!!!Sena Gracie. Here is what she looked like when she came in the door. I am going to get a make-over. She told me I was getting really gray!!!Well, I'm not getting any younger. lol
