Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. Eskimo proverb

Good Friday Morning everyone!!! hope your friday and weekend are off to a great start...These are projects I did a while back for Tamera of Country at Heart..and I didn't want to spoil her surprise ..but she has them now so I can show you..The 2 on the left she had seen but the one on the right she had not..
and she didn't know about this one either..(she told me what she wanted, size color etc)..but didn't know how it was going to look..her home is done in americana and has black accents..:)
blurry photo sorry..;)

Well I did some tweaking the other day..that little wooden box that I traded for a year ago from Lynn of painting thyme needfuls
it was in the upstairs bathroom..and I put it on the kitchen table..now its on the woodstove for the rest of the summer..it has all of the seasons of kittys on the box..;) I put my candles in it..a cute little vignette with the raggedys...
okay its starting..I put the wheelbarrow on the table and pulled out my autumn table runner that my friend kimmy made me back in 2002..I love it here...
then I did more tweaking..I added the old one handled collander to it..and now its perfect.
I swapped this bracelet for some of my items..I found this gal on etsy and she has the neatest bracelets and jewelry and I loved the saying on it..
It says Serenity to accept the things I cannot change...Courage to change the things I can: and Wisdom to know the difference.and the family tree..I love this...;)it also have little diamond like jewels around it..you will love her stuff.;)

this is what I found last night...as I was going to bed..two little peas in a pod..
the second shelf down in the back is where they hide..and Squirt (Timmy) is in there right now taking his nap..
they crawl in the back here between the wall..its their favorite spot when Mom's up here crafting.:)

I okay whose ready for a giveaway..I have been threatening this for a very long time..so I thought I better get my butt in gear..I just made this yesterday..and white wool felt lumina pumpkin with the words organic 78c on it..my great blogging buddy Cindy did these for me..I wanted some designs done and she did it for me..I love these..Thank you again Cindy..;) I am going to be making more of these too..;)
you also get a little bag of fall salt dough ornaments..
not sure what is in the bag..but it will have an assortment of these..:)

  1. oh no, fall decorating already? hehe.. I love your wheelbarrow. Even though I love fall, I am still holding onto summer. Your kitties are so cute. They can be so silly sometimes. One of other cats used to like to climb in the fridge and hide behind something, can you believe he never got shut in there.. What a fun idea for a giveaway.. Bingo.. luv it..did you make the ornies? great job on your etsy sales.. Have a great weekend!

  6. Hi Gina:-) Hey, I like the Americana penny rugs. Nice surprises for sure. Tweaking is an obsession with me. Gotta do it anyway, til we get it just right:-) I like your new bracelet, nice sentiment to it. It's cute how our fur babies have their little hideaways. When they do that, they're lookin' to catch some serious zzzz's. Continued success with your sale.
    xoxo~Carol
    p.s. you're plateau could be that you're firming up those muscles. Hang in there and keep at it:-)

  10. What a fun idea - I will e-mail my words. Keep up with the diet - it stinks to work hard and not lose, but it seems we all hit those times. It does seem that you have to change things up sometimes to get your body going again.
