Happy Birthday Maggie!!

My mother Maggie was 93 on Saturday,this is a pic of Rhi and Scarlett at her BD party..and by gosh she did blow those candles out :}

Pinny Pumpkin!

Another pin cushion,not the cutest scissors but will do for now :}She will be my challenge doll for the retreat also a pattern soon, with the other one I posted..

Pin Cushion Exchange!

We are having a pin cushion exchange at Jean and Sherry's retreat here in Iowa Sept 17th-20th. this is mine..Oh haven't named her yet any thoughts on a name?
She should hold small scissors in her arms , haven't bought those yet maybe I won't have you priced those things lately? :}

House!

Scroll down to see the rest of the house pic's I could only load 5 at a time..

More House!!

Here are the pic of the house redone, to start we painted the bottom part a soft brown, it was pinkish beige, then we painted the green shudders white and trimmed in red adding a red door.Al built the deck and two arbors, I think you can see my roses too but no blooms right now but lots of buds.

New Deck before and after!

I'm really tired tonight but just for my special group of friends I am putting up these two pic of the deck..maybe one day I will have time to sit at the computer and play..oh and the lattice still needs stain..I think the pix's are backward LOL

Busy , busy Spring!

It's been a very busy Spring for me , trying to get this yard established, with flower beds , harbors,new deck and house painted..not counting birthdays,Al's was May 20th , Scarlett's May 22 also Rhi's graduation from preschooland Al's retirement is Friday the 29th..

We have very little growing time here in Iowa so its important to get the plants established before these hard winters hit.I was disappointed today the plant shops are all getting ready to close, everything is now picked over and lots of sales BUT I am not finished..I still need two trees desperately..I hope to get them planted next week and of course something new to wear Friday :}
I have a few pic's but will have more of the finished look soon..so just scroll down I am sure they aren't in order..
This is our new fountain and the new paint as you can see we only have one window and the door painted so far!

Happy Birthday Scarlett!!

Now you're a big girl 3 years old!
