I have started doing my memorial gardens so here's what I have so far. I'm just putting things around where I think I want them then to prepared the yard and put in the mulch. I've gotten mulch that is dark brown with bits and pieces in it. I love my Angel and bushes along with several items that belong to my Mother In Law and I bought a white poodle in which my Sister In Law loved when she was living had a poodle called Fancy White. I have some old farm equipment that's going out there also. We had a pool in the back yard that a hurricane brought a tree down over it and I'm going to fix that area. I'm also making my children's playhouse as they are 28 and 31 into a nice house area to put potting stuff. Can't wait to make it look like a cottage:) Today 1 year ago my Mom was buried so tomorrow will no more first. These first of everything has been hard. ALSO the bottom picture we have taken things out and sprayed weed killer on and plastic will go down to do my planting in as I bought some really great stuff that will come back every year.
I love to sew just about anything. I also do lots of crafts and painting shabby chic. Sewing is something I've been since I was 11 years old. I made my first quilt top out of neon cotton material back in the 60's and now my daughter is the proud owner of the quilt. I make I Spy Quilts, I Spy Bags, Tooth Fairy Pillows, girls clothing, crayon aprons, pin cushions, just about anything. Sewing just gives me peace of mind and puts me in a comfort mode.

Ok, I visted a place called Flea Body's Dog Pound and picked up the barn bird house that needed some attention. I had to glue and do some nailing but I'm happy with the end results. The wreath is a work in progress as I saw a sewing wreath that showed some antique items. I have some more to do!

My two daughters each gave quilts to 3 people having baby showers this week. As I put my card on the items they came to my blog and I really didn't have many items listed here. The people asked to see what items I had for sale therefore I put some of my items on here to let them see. I'm going to put my items in my Esty account as soon as I have time to sit down and list them all. Thank you to the girls who loved the quilts and I have more quilts that I don't have listed and I'll be glad to give pictures of them to the girls. Lynn I'll be glad to embroider your Grand-daughters name on the quilt for you:)
