Getting in touch with the REAL me.....

I must be going through a mid-life crisis...bored with work and routine.....

While browsing through websites and blogs

I've gotten hooked on "CUTE" and "FUN"..... And I want more of it in my life!!!!
I had never heard of Amy Butler or Heather Bailey....

these women design fabric and patterns....

"Be still my heart....."

Everything these women do is fun, cheerful, colorful,

happy....and basically just "fluff"...

things that no one really needs...

but wants...

I just want to shop and fill my sewing room with new fabric....

and then SEW, SEW, SEW...

I'm ready for some bright newness!

A little story about a princess......

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a beautiful princess

named Courtney lived with her mom.

The princess grew up and decided to make her own way in

the world...and moved away.

Everything was great, the princess loved her new life

and the mom was happy for her.

But, the time comes when the princess needs to come visit

the MOM....Court...this is a huge hint!!

Home Sweet Home.....

Per the request of my dear friend, Sharon,

I've put outside pictures on my blog.

When I look at my brick walkways and landscape

I think of Tera and Erick and all the time

that was spent planning and then watching as

it all came together.

When I see my fencing...aww...I think of Nate and

all of his effort and his patience while I tried

to explain exactly what I wanted...he just

listened and then went to work!

As the summer comes to a close and the landscaping

is dying off I just think back to Spring when the daylilies, hostas

and other plants burst into life...it was

so beautiful this year. I just wish we could

jump from Fall to Spring...and completely

skip Winter...ugh!!
