Thought I'd stop and say Hi.

I don't have any pics to share but I did wanna say hey ladies. How is everyone? I am doing good. Since I was last here my hubby and I have been spending more time together and doing more things with our boys. When my grandpa passed away it made me realize that life was too short and I needed to start spending more time with my family. I now visit my grandma at least two or three times a week. She is 81 and not going to be here forever so I treasure every moment I have with her.

We had a great Easter and enjoyed our yearly egg hunt. We came home with 5 dozen eggs. Lets just say we've had lots of egg salad lately.

In other news All The Sisters now has a website. That's the shop that I am a part of with my friends Donnely, Diana and Cass. We have a store in Bremen,OH but will soon be moving to Somerset, Ohio to a much bigger store at the end of this month. That is exciting news for to us. I'll post pics once we are all moved in ad set up.
For now that's all I have. I'll stop back as soon as I have more to share. Take Care and Happy Crafting.

I'm here...but I'm taking a little break:)

I've been getting some emails :) I know... I've been a really bad blogger. So I thought I would check in and let you all know that I'm taking a little break. I expect to be back to posting this summer. I'm doing some revamping of my life and get priorites in order. I haven't forgotten you. I just need to take some me tim and family time and I promise I'll be back better than ever.

Make Do

I sat down today and made this cute make-do that Char had posted a while back. I just love her blog,she has lots of great tutourials. Anyway I think it turned out very cute and plan to make a few more.Well I guess this is a short and sweet post cause I haven't uch else to share at this moment.But I'll be back to share and adventure with you tomorrow that DH and I have planned. Stay tuned for more details.

The Letter "M"

Hi everyone!Well, here it is February already , can you believe it? January wasn't the best month for me.So I'm glad to see it go. Things can only get better.
I asked Rondell to give me a letter. She gave me the letter M. She really made me think on this one. I thought I'll never come up with 10 things I like that start with the letter M. But once I sat down I actually came up with more but I'll only share the top 10. Thanks Rondell.

1. Me-I always make sure to take time for myself because if I'm not happy then my guys aren't happy. LOL

2. My family-They are the most important thing to me, my reason for living. They give me great joy and I miss those that are no longer with us.

3. Mom- We may not always agree on everything but she is more than just my mother she is my friend.

4.Megan- she is my youngest cousin but is more like a little sister and I love her dearly

5.Mystery- I love reading mystery books. Right now I am reading the Molly Murphy series by Rhys Bowman.

6.Music- I enjoy listening to heavy metal which surprises most people. They think I look more like the country type but that just goes to show looks can be deceiving. I'm just not into country.

7. Money- well I don't really love money but I need it to suport my sewing habbit.LOL

8.Memories- making memories can be fun and is important they help biuld character and give us something to reflect on.

9. Movies- we don't go to a lot of movies but we do rent a few DVDs every Sunday for our weekly family night. It's just one more way we are creating memories for my family.

10. Muffins- I love eating muffins, they go great with my morning tea.

Birdseye View.

I've been doing a little bird watching in the morings while getting the boys ready for school and here are a few shoots that I wanted to share with you. The first is the Northern Cardinal. They look so pretty in the winter with a splash of red against all that white snow.

The second is a Tufted Titmouse. I was excited to see this little birdie because I didn't know that I had them in my yard.


I've also been putting out peanuts still in the shell and the Blue jays just love them. I hope to get a picture of them swiping them. The birds have become a joy for me. It's my way of slowing down and taking a little time for me.

Whatca Workin On Wednesday

I made this doll in memory of my grandfather.

Her dress and hair bows are made from one of his shirts. I am making one for my Grandma, Mom and all of my Aunts and Uncles and cousins using his clothes. I made this tag to go with her.That adds up to over 20 some dolls. So I'll be busy for awhile but it's something I'm willing to do. I've decided to use the shirt scraps to make a quilt for Grandma after all the dolls are done. It's something I can do to still feel close to my Grandpa.

In other news we are snowed in.

Finally I've got something I can show for Wednesday. It's been a very long time since I had anything at all to share.

We have snow and way more ice than I care to have. The kids have been off of school for two days now and My Dh did not have to in to work today and I just decided to call off. I'm not gonna risk driving in this stuff. I'm staying in where it's nice and warm. Wayne ventured out this morning and brought in a piece of ice at least a 1/2 inch thick. At one time we were under a Level 3 snow emergency, which means no one is allowed on the roads unless they are emegency personel this eans the Sherrif, ambulances or firetrucks.But believe it or not some people just have to venture out anyway. Not me I'm one to stay home if they tell me too. My two uncles are without powe and not sure when it will come back on. We don't lose power too often so we are one of the lucky ones

Well I'm off to make a few more dolls. So I'll catch ya later -stay warm.

I'm Back and Thank you

I know it's been awhile since my last post I just had no desire to be online or do much else for that matter.But I know my Grandpa wouldn't want me to sit around feeling sorry so it's time for me to get on with life and living. I first of all want to thank everyone for their kind comments about my grandpa. I really appreciate it.

I really don't have alot to share at this time because DH was in hospital for 4 days due to severe pneumonia but he is home and better now.He was off work all last week but went back today. I am working on ideas for things I want to create so hopefully soon I'll have something to show. I plan to get back to blog reading because I have so much catching up to do. I don't want all my blooger friends to think I have forgotten about them. So I'm of to do some reading.
