There is a cold front headed our way so I walked down to the little lake to take a walk around all those colorful leaves that are still hanging in there before they’re all gone. When I opened all our curtains to let sunshine in early one morning, there was a fog that rolled in….

A month of Photos.
Mostly this month was all about us getting back to walking, renovating, a little shopping and lots of creating. Oh…and prepping and painting…lots of painting. I’m slowly replacing the Christmas decorations I donated before we moved. We had one truck to fill for our big move and what ever we could fit into that one…
Shopping adventures…a visit to an antique store.
This store was packed. Sometimes I feel a little claustrophobic when stores are jammed packed with items but this one was just so fun seeing inside of it, like a museum. I went in to look for some vintage lace for a children’s craft class that is coming up. They have a sewing section in…
A weekend of yard sales and outdoor markets.
This weekend it was officially Fall and that could only mean one thing…bargain shopping outdoor style. I love shopping at outdoor markets. It was cloudy with mostly sunshine. The perfect temps with a nice cool breeze every now and then. We didn’t have time to stop at every table or every sale. There were so…
Taking care of business…a summer of all work and no play.
” Be Bold. Be Courageous. Never be afraid to speak up and speak out.” John Lewis Well summers over, just flew the coop? It was a busy and beautiful summer, went by too fast and now there is chatter in the air that this Winter will be a cold one. We still need to get…

” A messenger of the truth is often a lonely voice, but it’s echo can change the world” They call this cacti the Teddy bear cactus. It’s not anything you want to cuddle with though. The jumping cactus digs in deep and is not fun to dance with, best to stay clear of this if…
Inspired to create.
‘ How beautiful it is to stay silent when someone expects you to be enraged.” Paulo Coelho What inspires you to create? We were all gifted to create, to use our hands, to share, to learn and to teach each other. Baking, drawing, sewing and building up our environments to improve our world. This is…
Needle felting hearts
I decided to try my hand at felting hearts. With Valentine close by and hearts everywhere, I wanted to try and make some hearts myself. I’m getting more comfortable with this newest hobby of mine. It takes time to get the feel of it, just the differences in needles and wool textures can be intimidating…
Talk a walk with me.
It’s another early morning walk to the lake. The butterfly garden is alive with so many flying critters. The garden has grown so much. It towers over me now. Each flower and blade of grass is buzzing with life. God’s tiny little winged creatures, butterflies, bees and dragonflies all working together. I try to capture…
