Oh dear I have been neglectful. . 

Sorry about that.

I have been over my head in projects

And with my health not as good as usual

It has been hard to keep up with things. . 

I hope you will forgive me.

Here is a little peek of what I have been doing

My children. . .photo shoot for Christmas.

Nothing professional, just plain home-made.

Or should I say. . .Momma Made.

I did it for pure pleasure.. .so fun to take pictures of your own

It was a fun Saturday tromping through the snow and the fields 

And hills of our little part of the world.

Beauty right in our own back yard. . no back drops necessary.

I do this just for fun. . .for my family

Making memories through the lens of my camera.

Hope you enjoy. . Please come back again.

November Changes

Well hello my friends,

So glad you stopped by.

Really, I am glad you stopped to see me.

I have made a few changes in my living room

My living room is not a fancy room.

It is the "Living" room.

This is where I spend a lot a time. . .

Oh, I have a lovely family room.

I will show you one of these days.

But, I like to be where the action is. . 

I live to look out my big front window. . and I live to

Be close to all my rooms. . .

So. . .my television is in my living room.

And good heavens I won't show you my chair.

I think I have turned into Archie Bunker or Frazier's father.

I love my chair.

Anyhow.. . .My television is in the "make believe" cabinet.

It had cute doors on it . . . But

When the doors were open you couldn't see the little tables on both sides.

So, I decided to change things, and I took the doors off

Now my television is bare. . .

I rather like it this way.  The open doors don't get in the way

Oh, one of these days I will have a "nice" t.v. cabinet.

But for now this cheap DI $8.00 painted one will have to do.

I did make a few changes. . .not much

I stayed with my fall decorations, and added my 

Thanksgiving things.

I am still a sucker for holiday decorations. . 

I live a lone, and the grand kids are growing up

But, I still have to bring out the holiday decorations I have had for years.

Maybe it is because they hold so many memories for me.

Of times long past when my children were young. . 

And delighted so much in decorating the house.

Or is it still the child in me?

 

No matter what the reason is. . I hope I am able to continue to

Decorate my home, the way I want it done.

I am by far NOT a home interior designer. . 

My goodness my humble home would never be recognized by anyone

But myself. . .so be it. . it is HOME to me.

After seeing the devastation of the storm in the Philippine's 

I am so thankful to have a cozy, warm, lovely home.

I hope you will stop by again.  I enjoy the company. . 

Hugs,

New Little Babies

Oh, I must, I must

Introduce you to my new little fur babies.

Ted and Cash

I have been so lonely since I lost my little Zoey.

Oh, yes I have my children, but they have their own homes

I have just felt such a loss, and an empitness 

I needed energy, life motion in my home.

I didn't think I could ever have another little Furry Baby

But these two little fellows came into my life

And I am happy and my heart is filled with love again.

No more lonely nights, no more empty house

They are young and full of life and they love me.

I am thrilled to have my new little Fur Babies.

I am sure you will see more of them.

Hugs,

Gratitude

For this month of 

Thankfulness 

Each day I have been sharing the things

That I consider a great blessing to me.

I want to have a heart full of 

Gratitude. . Not just this month but always.

A heart that is full of gratitude can do so much good for us
I want to have ears to hear and eyes to see the great
Blessings that come to me each day.
And I want to express that gratitude to the Lord.
I want a heart full of Gratitude.
Hugs,

NOVEMBER

NOVEMBER

I love you November.

You are the month that begins all the festivities. . 

You are a Thankful month.

November, you are a time when we can slow down

Look at the beautiful world and life the Good Lord has given us.

Hearts to our Families, Our Homes, and Our Friends

The Harvest has been abundant. .  and all is safely brought in

Oh, how I love you sweet November!

Be sure to enjoy the delights and blessing of

A Pillow A Chair and A Table

Just a few of the little projects I have done in the

Last month or so.

A Pillow, A Chair, and A Table.

I haven't been feeling very well lately.

Lots of doctor's visits and to top it off a dentist visit.

But, I am always in need of keeping my hands busy.

I have had this little half table for quite a few years.

It was painted black.

My Auntie Colleen gave it to me

I wasn't too happy with the black. . 

So as always a little paint takes care of that.

You can't see that I also "antiqued" it.

I just use, Minwax, Providence Stain.  I love the color it gives.

This little chair is also from my Auntie,

I love the color. And I love child size chairs.

The pillow I did the hand-work . . it reads

"The harvest of true friendship 

Is the Most blessed of all."

I believe this to be true.

I don't know what I would do without my friends

They are such a great support and comfort to me.

I am truly blessed because I have friends.

So even in the midst of not feeling well, working full-time

And all the other things that go on in life.

I find the time to relax. . and enjoy working with my hands.

Thanks you for coming by.

I certainly hope you will stop by again.

Remember if you have friends you are blessed.

Hugs,

Blog Header For a Dummie

I have fiddled and fiddled with my blog header.

Looked at various blogs to see what they have.

And searched on how to make my own header.

I even ask for suggestions from friends on  Facebook.

I just try as I go

It is total trial and error for me

Here are a few of the ones I came up with.

Just wasn't right. . Seemed too much

And someone said I needed the title of my blog

To really stand out.

No, No won't do at all.

Another thing I have a hard time is getting the right size.

To tell you the truth I would like to have someone who knows

What they are doing design my blog. . .

But, alas, my blog is just for enjoyment. . 

Not a money maker. . 

So I just can't justify paying someone to do the designing.

Any hoooo, I will be satisfied with the Header I made.

And hopefully learn along the way

So next month when I change it I will know a little more of what I am doing.

Hugs to you all.
