 |
| My added love to the pieces..... |
 |
| Little relics found in Mom's stuff! |
 |
| Can't wait to tell you about these!! I learned to embroidery at the age of nine when we lived near the mountains in Leon, Spain....we had no TV, which was awesome and we picked flowers in the fields to make flower crowns and wore them all day. Embroidery has always taken me back to cherished times as a child!!! |
 |
| I HAVE to be creating SOMETHING!!! |
 |
| More fun..... the art supplies are packed away, so the needle and thread came out!!! |
 |
| An exciting project that I will ellaborate more on later..... I am in love with this idea!!! It is an old hankie I will embellish. |
 |
| Looking from the kitchen into the end of the living room in front where the old oak breakfast table of Mom and Dad's will go.... under the daisy chandelier. |
 |
| Another old chandelier I have saved. Will go above the long dining table. It has crystals to add if I want....and it needs a longer chain plus the candle thingys....which I would love to decoupage with some kind of script....The color is what it was.....not sure if I will paint it....it has a nice old look now. |
 |
| The lower part which now is insulated, radiant barriered, sheetrocked and ready for paint... |
 |
| The ceiling of the inside of the garage we made into a sleeping loft for the grand kids and the room below will be their and MY room for whatever transpires!!! |

I really enjoyed seeing your pictures of the remodel. Your new house is going to be so cute. The yellow paint makes it look like such a happy place.
you are so busy!!! Your house looks amazing and such beautiful children too....
Oh so glad to see you and experience your JOY with you. I know the new is mixed with sadness of leaving the old. Saying goodbye to your animals that were so very dear to you must be hard. But at least you know where they are and can visit.
I love the pics of the house. it is so beautiful and inviting. What an anticipation to actually be moved in and settled - 'nested'. I pray those days come quickly for you.
The needle work is exquisite. God has certainly blessed the work of your hands.
I smiled when I saw all your flowers....I love my plants and almost everyone are blooming plants. Oh the joy of tending a small part of God's vast garden. So glad we too have this in common.
What a busy part of life you are involved in. exciting times. I can smell the new paint and the bare wood in your and the kid's place.
Please take care during this busy time. Exciting that you lost 18 lbs. a new you for your new place.
hugs my friend
thanks for the update. I miss you

thanks so much for visiting Sherry and for the great comment. How is your cloth coming along?
I so enjoyed your visit today. I am raising my prayer sword - the battle rages but the battles is the Lord's. Praying right along side of you, my dear.
sending you an e-mail. look for it :)
Hugs to you tonight, may you rest in His love and care and May He give you His peace.
prayerfully,

Thanks Patrina, I used to love to go to Mexico to the little village where so many precious families are living in fear ..... my heart breaks for the life of tranquility they have lost, but they hang on to "Jesus" and their future in Him.
Hi there,
SAY IT IN COLOR
Fascinating! I recently found a considerable amount of informative stuff in your article. Keep up the fine job!
