2017 went fast!

Wow!  It's been a long time and a lot of things have happened but I will try and do better on this blog now that I can use the voice typing. Some random pics...

Happy New Year!

Cleaned my oven spotless- it's the little things in life!

Still sewing!

Dad was really sick last year, but he is doing lots better!

This was taken in Alabama, where we evacuated to for Hurricane Irma! (Daughter in law photo bombed! 

Best thing of 2017- my newest granddaughter! 

Til next time!

I was perusing the internet and thought I would pop over to my blog. Oh, how I miss it! I'll do better! Have to do it on my phone and it is challenging, but I can make it work.
We've had a lot happen since my last post! I'll be back!

A Couple Tablescapes

One of the reasons I originally started my blog, was because I was fascinated with
Tablescape Thursday over at Between Naps on the Porch. I participated many times, but gave it up- it was a lot of work and at the time it was a difficult process to do. It was fun doing the tables,  though! Now that I am 2 house moves since then, i dont care about collecting dishes (though I love them) like I was and now I do what I call Tablescape Wanna bes.

 



I gotta get better at this!

I did it again. I have neglected my blog. My second daughter reminded me that i used to call her Little Mama on my blog.  That's been awhile!  Anyway, I am typing this on my phone-  got a better phone a few weeks ago,  so maybe I CAN do it on here. Computer took a dive, again, so that's one issue.
All the grands are doing well-  Little Wesley is almost 6 months old!
On the 19th (or before) we will welcome Prince Jacob!  CAN. NOT. WAIT!

Here is the new addition to my driveway

Let's see if i can keep this going!

It has been entirely too long...

I really, really want to keep this blog going- been thinking about that a lot. I need to just make the commitment to post something at least a couple of times a week.  A lot has happened since I last was here.

No. 1- my little grandson, Wesley Joseph was born! He is adorable of course and the apple of all of our eyes, especially his Mama, Tiffany's! He joins my 4 other little apples, but won't be the youngest grandchild for long..
 No. 2 my second daughter announced she was expecting just before Wesley was born. It was pure wonderfulness to have both my girls pregnant at the same time.
 Of course all else that has happened since April can't compare to these 2 happenings. Everything is going along very well and we are so very happy and blessed. We have been very comfortable in The Little Cottage.We enjoyed the above ground pool that we put in last summer this year as well.
I have been pretty busy in The Little Cottage Studio- I made 2 more quilts, so since last August 2014 I have made 9- I am  excited about that. I also tried my hand at stuffed animals, which I was pretty happy with the results and plan on making a few for Christmas. My sister sold me her embroidery machine that is a step or two up from mine and I did a few things on there for Wesley- getting ready to make a few things for our niece who also had a baby just 3 days after Tiffany.
