It is THERE, between the hill and the fence, that is why I am staying home from work today, no plow truck here yet, and I don't feel like trying to guess where the driveway is and the ditches aren't. Nice day to stay home and do a little stitching or cleaning or vegging on the couch with Dandy.

DD Kendra is engaged and the date is set for Memorial Day Weekend next year. We have been looking for dresses, Finally found "THE DRESS" Girls got bridesmaid dresses, etc. so that has been fun. I have been doing a little quilting and sewing, and gardening and canning etc. Life is GOOD. Fall is here (I always tell everyone I am here (Wisconsin) for those 3 weeks in Oct. and I guess they are here so I better enjoy them while I can.<br />
<br />
Last night I got an early birthday present from Hubby, wish I had it in the house but not yet, still in the bed of his truck. He bought me a new to me Cedar Chest, I have never seen one like this before, it is more the size of a Night Stand and it has 2 false drawers in front and 1 real drawer (lined with cedar) on the bottom and the 2 false drawers are the cedar chest part. Also came with a piece of glass for the top so you can set things on top of it. LOVE IT, when we get it in the house I will post some pics of it. <br />

Nothing fancy just cute. It is going to be hanging on my quilt rack in my sewing room so I can play with it when ever I want. It smells and looks like it has never been used, it has a couple of spots along the border that need to be restitched but other than that, it is in great shape, think it is from the 1940's. Anyway, I am happy with it. :) And that is Dandy our Rat Terrier who thinks the chair and the quilt belong to her. :)Jeannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07037955584980587306noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558224498822361563.post-91340180961603736312010-05-05T14:16:00.000-07:002010-05-05T14:16:57.771-07:00OH SO TALENTED!!!!!

Things seem to be going good now so I am back online. No pics for this, check my Valentines Day post, that is my Vintage Thingie, I found it at the local thrift shop and just couldn't pass it up. I THINK IT IS BRAND NEW AND WAS PUT AWAY WITHOUT EVER BEING USED. :) I AM THRILLED WITH IT. As you can see, so is our cat. We had a little fight over who really owns the afghan, guess who won?????<br /><br />IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK, can't wait to check out everyone's treasures this week.Jeannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07037955584980587306noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558224498822361563.post-16237029916464669042010-02-14T14:19:00.001-08:002010-02-14T14:24:40.800-08:00Thrift Shopping<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha4AShTZCvtwuuzSkuTBi7Yo9_ZDn-9ZmfIhoKBI3Ow7cnUNgWKkuUzU1T0ZgQRky5wqjvxaeE57N7KrQnuj-USflo8Y3z1UhvdsQbwVyz9j-n4fTd4cTW_bDcpDE3Y1l0RohDP7uzT4w/s1600-h/Pastel+Afghan+2.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438228074272062146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha4AShTZCvtwuuzSkuTBi7Yo9_ZDn-9ZmfIhoKBI3Ow7cnUNgWKkuUzU1T0ZgQRky5wqjvxaeE57N7KrQnuj-USflo8Y3z1UhvdsQbwVyz9j-n4fTd4cTW_bDcpDE3Y1l0RohDP7uzT4w/s320/Pastel+Afghan+2.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqAQNnSiRtMLL85WJeSmoqtS2TS5O7rlX5QU8ao7L2uuCGbw9xlw1B2s3nRrg5aJ5F5AcaBKCuejAdXhUUiA7dPuvYac2TKIBqonl1An_BbMfMgQ-AbHjSPG3JEmLdRiPTyFqVVmuY2P4/s1600-h/Pastel+Afghan+1.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438228069374559906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqAQNnSiRtMLL85WJeSmoqtS2TS5O7rlX5QU8ao7L2uuCGbw9xlw1B2s3nRrg5aJ5F5AcaBKCuejAdXhUUiA7dPuvYac2TKIBqonl1An_BbMfMgQ-AbHjSPG3JEmLdRiPTyFqVVmuY2P4/s320/Pastel+Afghan+1.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>WOW, what a find.

But now I am ready for spring and ready to start new adventures. I just joined a new blog <a href="http://pumpkinpatchprimitiveswoolcrazy.blogspot.com/">http://pumpkinpatchprimitiveswoolcrazy.blogspot.com/</a> and this should be SOOO MUCH FUN. Nothing better than playing with wool and the local thrift store is having a 50% off day on Monday, EVERYTHING IN THE STORE IS 50% off, what more incentive do I need to go woolie shopping NOT MUCH!!!!!!!!!! IT is supposed to be warm here (20's is warm here for this time of year) this weekend and the sun is supposed to shine so I want to get my car washed, thinking of splurging and going into THE BIG CITY and getting it washed, some smell good added and I think they vacuum it out too. Exciting plans hey??????? And of course it is Valentines Day too. I bought Cupcakes so I am off the hook for buying or making anything. Also got a little cabinet (I will add a photo sometime soon) that I need to do some work on, I am hoping to be able to get the contact paper off the sides of it without having to strip the whole thing. I bought it at an auction for $1.00 and it is solid wood and has cool old metal hardware. Just needs a little TLC. So hopefully the weather co operates with me.

I honestly can't take credit for the awesome flowers, that is all Hubby's doings. HE LOVES THE FLOWER BEDS. I should do a post about them one of these days. He does such a good job taking care of the lawn, the rock garden, the flower beds and the veggie garden. :) Thought I would give him a little credit this week since it is Fathers Day this weekend. ALSO our 29th Wedding Anniversary. :) there are numbers and names underneath the rust on the milk cans too. They are on either side of our entry way to our screened in porch. These came from my Dad's Mothers Family Farm. </div></div>Jeannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07037955584980587306noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558224498822361563.post-65913132325974836582009-06-11T20:38:00.000-07:002009-06-11T20:43:12.621-07:00My Newest Project<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxRTMacTp1juhkRl5eVOcoAibXcMeSK1TSSdUeGg4JTi8Ti50EynLBD4etf7YATTXZ7TlU8qVgLW6LngSdzAEUVw331y37xnyrF2tz6bAMg7bufjJeYA6EE5EW_bq-N6ICweLf0imoVK8/s1600-h/9Patch4.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346281210979119778" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxRTMacTp1juhkRl5eVOcoAibXcMeSK1TSSdUeGg4JTi8Ti50EynLBD4etf7YATTXZ7TlU8qVgLW6LngSdzAEUVw331y37xnyrF2tz6bAMg7bufjJeYA6EE5EW_bq-N6ICweLf0imoVK8/s320/9Patch4.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAreaZPQq_7ZScbBkgvRzox6ASjpQlLIg5wwtTk4VZNYP98C9dJ6lA6cLQWf4L_HOFSmY7xk7WWd_albsZ_-WVVp6LPyd2-L1tayyGhpSdUFLtS0D2DHNlIekdIVGdVs3tKYGOvE4CWp0/s1600-h/9Patch3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346281207194767170" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAreaZPQq_7ZScbBkgvRzox6ASjpQlLIg5wwtTk4VZNYP98C9dJ6lA6cLQWf4L_HOFSmY7xk7WWd_albsZ_-WVVp6LPyd2-L1tayyGhpSdUFLtS0D2DHNlIekdIVGdVs3tKYGOvE4CWp0/s320/9Patch3.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB3iZN4H-B7A-YvCytjdMil7Baj2DfXBvxawDcLIhOIgPFS6t_nrlVic-mXVVjlJAvflrM_lt8zsjB1LW-KFrHHFXZMxSneFDUVansVJKvMt34BTakJieucVNc9EhWUUaPNWEJgEz7QhE/s1600-h/9Patch2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346281208047914930" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB3iZN4H-B7A-YvCytjdMil7Baj2DfXBvxawDcLIhOIgPFS6t_nrlVic-mXVVjlJAvflrM_lt8zsjB1LW-KFrHHFXZMxSneFDUVansVJKvMt34BTakJieucVNc9EhWUUaPNWEJgEz7QhE/s320/9Patch2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>9 patch blocks, aren't these too cute.

The pillow is just 2 dish cloths sewed together with yarn woven thru it. My Great Aunt gave this to me years ago, I lived with them while I was in college and that was YEARS AGO. The 50th Anniversary plate is also from them. they have been gone for over 20 years so this is an old plate. I think it was handed down thru the family too, it is a Japanese Plate. There is a vase too but the vase picture was too blurry to show up. You can sort of see part of it in the plate photo. :) Great keepsakes to have. </p></div>Jeannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07037955584980587306noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558224498822361563.post-42152390640198124492009-06-03T19:05:00.000-07:002009-06-03T19:16:14.062-07:00Vintage Thingie Thursday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd7Sy4zj7ySiqteoSJMcrzLNAfHTYPTy5h4_Tn-02VnvcOYIUCe3hryOt0TPTkVddiaKKtoCSyl2-9TeJSbrPhTzrXsH0wj3izfxcxxjujwUYGVnWXZZ3JiQObcLcR6KkdtjnCcJZjY6s/s1600-h/Stanley+%26+Shep.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343289543148413426" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 208px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd7Sy4zj7ySiqteoSJMcrzLNAfHTYPTy5h4_Tn-02VnvcOYIUCe3hryOt0TPTkVddiaKKtoCSyl2-9TeJSbrPhTzrXsH0wj3izfxcxxjujwUYGVnWXZZ3JiQObcLcR6KkdtjnCcJZjY6s/s320/Stanley+%26+Shep.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX3hyfq1XF8il2cwGVLX-DCF-XFk2VUAKef2jh-DriGyglg263YwzEcawmGD6azaV1s8gopqQWzc4_uMnQM7ue1cj1aqJq3OUwCTqPogrvK5DaIBZpB-_t9qYmTdeCSxQcvydfae1u6Ec/s1600-h/Stanley+4+H.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343289542063307410" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 224px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX3hyfq1XF8il2cwGVLX-DCF-XFk2VUAKef2jh-DriGyglg263YwzEcawmGD6azaV1s8gopqQWzc4_uMnQM7ue1cj1aqJq3OUwCTqPogrvK5DaIBZpB-_t9qYmTdeCSxQcvydfae1u6Ec/s320/Stanley+4+H.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilbEZ3J8YbuAMwuReP6YXM64oRFAH6DR8VReFK9NgRnGFPeMLnbtKVCypZhzziFt-IatnYOl4hM4dCCVcYDN6LCKTluM5jTPDjonf1IwQHRBZZgPrZjS5rewMwZ7oGDfYXVNkFEBEaTcY/s1600-h/Rueben,+sophie,+Stan+and+Gordon.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343289539056833794" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 275px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilbEZ3J8YbuAMwuReP6YXM64oRFAH6DR8VReFK9NgRnGFPeMLnbtKVCypZhzziFt-IatnYOl4hM4dCCVcYDN6LCKTluM5jTPDjonf1IwQHRBZZgPrZjS5rewMwZ7oGDfYXVNkFEBEaTcY/s320/Rueben,+sophie,+Stan+and+Gordon.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>This weeks post is all about my Dad, he would have been 91 yesterday, he died 2 years ago and I MISS HIM EVERY DAY. These are some of the photos I have of him. They are precious to say the least. Thanks for sharing with me. He is the one kneeling on the far left with the calf and he is the older boy in the family photo. :) And that is him with his favorite two things when he was young, his gun and his dog. :) He always was an animal lover. :) </div></div></div>Jeannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07037955584980587306noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558224498822361563.post-38951268877765654342009-06-01T18:54:00.000-07:002009-06-01T18:57:46.649-07:00Finished a Project<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT7ATvVG4uenybkffjeDDe1FDV55F4mVBXu0Qns0Q3hU-qvyU-znVg-wsBvXwKLI9H2NbtMAfd_n_ZT1STBSBn33EQ9O9xrV9WzNMeER1BBIFuM7hwlCdnmHLjHzJQxOkDBKC3j9JfIJQ/s1600-h/purse4.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342543505440620306" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT7ATvVG4uenybkffjeDDe1FDV55F4mVBXu0Qns0Q3hU-qvyU-znVg-wsBvXwKLI9H2NbtMAfd_n_ZT1STBSBn33EQ9O9xrV9WzNMeER1BBIFuM7hwlCdnmHLjHzJQxOkDBKC3j9JfIJQ/s320/purse4.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNMqoMRVcT5mOdaNGd7psOWRbBnte6pwM-dZt-iAgHRPXU5fYNpKByhmd2kLPo_GZiPegZOuUT8cc7d_bCaLc44IELlm5ID8J5g-FwZYg_QRK5rdguunaAUaD_3yd41DM2PqWtuVM2wKY/s1600-h/Purse3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342543503006670146" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNMqoMRVcT5mOdaNGd7psOWRbBnte6pwM-dZt-iAgHRPXU5fYNpKByhmd2kLPo_GZiPegZOuUT8cc7d_bCaLc44IELlm5ID8J5g-FwZYg_QRK5rdguunaAUaD_3yd41DM2PqWtuVM2wKY/s320/Purse3.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiN0izIuoCajmmaW-PUqMCjEZQEni2alyvHvnNVAL9eDTZF5bt85RQ3qBSw4KybAqNaTcbE-CfIGowRhRYhs1TXUSRbG3V6LEndO8oghJrfQ5bBpoyYbYuqNSoJPYg_6GW0TYU83JkUB8/s1600-h/Purse2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342543500462388082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiN0izIuoCajmmaW-PUqMCjEZQEni2alyvHvnNVAL9eDTZF5bt85RQ3qBSw4KybAqNaTcbE-CfIGowRhRYhs1TXUSRbG3V6LEndO8oghJrfQ5bBpoyYbYuqNSoJPYg_6GW0TYU83JkUB8/s320/Purse2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij_0nA_XThAr5iahGu1uPJvvIqKreOcFkUR9pqYlyArqKFvwfHN8O-J1LA_6-H7hrfSGHkxhFI5joYk-Mo5gxZYABpzJyU3-LY3RYf-limlOCOLuqt0AWyyOduPSKrjH2fEmPCkxpYeRs/s1600-h/Purse1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342543494917301362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij_0nA_XThAr5iahGu1uPJvvIqKreOcFkUR9pqYlyArqKFvwfHN8O-J1LA_6-H7hrfSGHkxhFI5joYk-Mo5gxZYABpzJyU3-LY3RYf-limlOCOLuqt0AWyyOduPSKrjH2fEmPCkxpYeRs/s320/Purse1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>So all this wool talk got me motivated. I have had this felted sweater for some time and wanted to make a purse out of it, so Sunday I worked on it and finished it. The only thing I will do differently on the next one is find a belt for the handle instead of the sweater sleeves, so now I guess I will be haunting the thrift stores looking for the perfect belt for this one, a little "resewing" never hurt anyone. :) so what does everyone think??? </div></div></div></div>Jeannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07037955584980587306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558224498822361563.post-70633536297937748482009-06-01T08:18:00.000-07:002009-06-01T08:21:54.108-07:00WE have 2 WINNERSJulia Marie and Super Fun Mama, I emailed both of you so get back to me ASAP.

Hubby went to CLEAN SWEEP for the township (Where you take all your old paint cans etc) and came home with these two wicker chairs, just need a little paint and they will be good as new. The CHICKEN FEEDER (Yes it really is an old chicken feeder) My Girlfriend did a little decorating on and gave it to me to put plants in. It has been too cold to get it planted yet but hopefully this weekend we can get some plants in it. We put DUSTY MILLERS in the bottom and wave petunias in the top. LOOKS PRETTY COOL when we get it all done up. IT is GOOD TO BE BACK. Haven't been able to get here for the past couple of weeks, DD moved home and into my sewing room (Where my computer is) so time is precious in there now. :) </p></div>Jeannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07037955584980587306noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558224498822361563.post-50786743153387855862009-05-17T09:48:00.001-07:002009-05-17T09:54:21.594-07:00Some Garden Photos<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjijhYLIx7dweUcCrrTtj1nAyAGln-Sx3gfVkMbCANzZA_mwO0wEMyIFkBtAlWaYNN7bwnWWMoARAdLgfqc6iADSv6HokiueZcyxxmBlUZS1Uc8YG6hXm6K42Og_enAmlIeZazC4tYys-U/s1600-h/Rock+Garden+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336837174192316354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjijhYLIx7dweUcCrrTtj1nAyAGln-Sx3gfVkMbCANzZA_mwO0wEMyIFkBtAlWaYNN7bwnWWMoARAdLgfqc6iADSv6HokiueZcyxxmBlUZS1Uc8YG6hXm6K42Og_enAmlIeZazC4tYys-U/s320/Rock+Garden+1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1PzHkqhdlx6uaT7S3BiDhx_QzJHkJrlmMQBi-u2QyGN-0izeXpO8pq3Y0gooA07bIcanVQAiLHjanWSOV9pl0hBiY_I2M_EM2hyAWEe-7jJ4T42LcvCMqw1svJQ4iUV2gVHaFHy-FlV4/s1600-h/Hen+N+Chix+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336837170229531218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1PzHkqhdlx6uaT7S3BiDhx_QzJHkJrlmMQBi-u2QyGN-0izeXpO8pq3Y0gooA07bIcanVQAiLHjanWSOV9pl0hBiY_I2M_EM2hyAWEe-7jJ4T42LcvCMqw1svJQ4iUV2gVHaFHy-FlV4/s320/Hen+N+Chix+1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy-NIUBFRkQrqeWL8Qv8c7iJQVelIlii_HRu69lU8IyGGvy3Jfd1ni71lOatMlj5YI9-rhEgUF5P1CRSrVtKHAgiqt0LHFDgU85c-kEJBgTo1eTTuIp7QBeyWl5R3p_WpvZN40-FubWG8/s1600-h/)Pansies+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336837171637043026" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy-NIUBFRkQrqeWL8Qv8c7iJQVelIlii_HRu69lU8IyGGvy3Jfd1ni71lOatMlj5YI9-rhEgUF5P1CRSrVtKHAgiqt0LHFDgU85c-kEJBgTo1eTTuIp7QBeyWl5R3p_WpvZN40-FubWG8/s320/)Pansies+1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Here are some pics of our flower beds, the rock garden is a WIP, we are making it bigger (Higher and wider) you can see behind the wall that it is mowed, we are going to expand it there. Never mind the hole in the door or the dead hanging basket, it is still too cold here to put out bedding plants or anything. The pansies wintered over all by themselves. TOUGH LITTLE THINGS and they have been blooming ALL SPRING, thru the snow, cold, frosts (Last night we had another frost) etc. So I had to take a photo of the hardy little things. our Hen N Chix is doing good too, we planted that last year, the phlox you can see in the pansie photo are a year or so old too. We need ot paint the grating underneath the deck too. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT THE PLANTS NOT THE REST OF THE STUFF, oh yea, the bird bath was a Mothers Day Present a couple of years ago and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. </div></div></div>Jeannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07037955584980587306noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558224498822361563.post-48641402937584507312009-05-15T08:54:00.000-07:002009-05-15T09:16:36.208-07:00May Give Away Day<p>Sew Mama Sew is having a HUGE Give Away, this is the same thing they did earlier only better.

There are more but these are some of my favorites that are in there. I can remember from the time I was little how much I loved playing with her buttons and fabric, she died when I was 16 and I never really got to quilt with her but I have all her buttons, all her handiwork (There is some hardanger in there too) but I wish I had more time to quilt with her. :) I still have all the doll clothes she made for my Barbie Dolls too. Some day I will do them for Vintage Thingie Thursday. Go check out <a href="http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/">http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/</a> to see everyone's Vintage Thingie's. :) </div></div></div></div>Jeannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07037955584980587306noreply@blogger.com28
