The views I express

Are purely my own. STOP beating me up for something I said and removed from my post! I meant no disrepect to anyone and never meant to cause a ruckus. I write this blog because I enjoy sharing my life with you(my readers)if there are any left. I know that not everyone will always agree with me. I am sorry to anyone in Kentucky for anything that I had written here that may have upset you. You really do have a beautiful state and I enjoyed my visit there. Yes I know that each state including Ohio has good and bad places along the way and we must take the good with the bad. I don't know what more I can say to make things any better. From this point on I will be alot more careful about things I post.

Kentucky Bound

I've always wanted to go to Kentucky and this past Sunday we did just that.

We headed to Carter Caves State Resort Park. It took us 4hrs to get there because Wayne took a wrong turn and drove a half hr before we turned around and got back on track. Here is the bridge that crosses over the Ohio river from Portsmouth,OH into Kentucky


The trip once we were into Kentucky was very interesting. Everything is so green and trees are everywhere. As you can see from the bridge. This was pretty much the view we had for most of the trip.Which was beautiful BTW. Some of the side roads were just a little gravel pathways and there were lots of cemetaries- some right beind peoples houses and the little country churches just sat in the middle of no where. The roads we traveled were mostly back country roads but yet state routes. We stopped at a little country gas station and the pumps were the old fashioned ones where the numbers rolled instead of being digital. It was very quaint and it just seemed so peaceful and relaxing.

Once we arrived at our destination it was amazing. It was like entering a world of it's own.

We toured Cascade caves. It was very wet but enjoyable. The was an underground pool

that lead outside.
And here we are enjoying ourselves beside it.
There were lots of stalagtites and a few stalagmites and there was even an undergorund waterfall.
We had a wonderful time and even got in a bit of trail hiking.

There will definately be a return trip when we can stay a few more days and enjoy more of the sites. Wayne has already said so. All in all we had a very nice time in Kentucky.

Edited to remove any content that was offencive to anyone even though I only posted what I saw and meant nothing bad by it.

Wishing you all a Happy and safe 4th of July.

Pinwheel Tutorial

This is my first tutorial so please bear with me
Suplies needed:
Wonder Under
Two co-ordinating fabrics
thread
sewing needle and button
thin wire and chopstick

Step 1.
Cut 3 squares:
One from fusible web(I use wonder under)
and two from 2 different farics. I made mine 5 inches but you can cut them any size you want.



Step 2.
Fuse your two fabric squares together.




Step 3. Fold your square in half twice to find center point.







Step 4.
Measure an cut 2 inches down from each corner using your center point as a guide. Do this on all four corners.







Step 5.
Next fold your points down to look like those in the picture and sew in place. Then attach your button.







Step 6 Now that your pinwheel is finished you can attach it to a stick if you want or leave it as is. I chose to wire mine to a chop stick.
Run a piece of thin wire through the holes of your button.


And wrap tightly around your stick a few times.


Now your all done.

Winner, winner, Chicken Dinner.

Well No I didn't win a chicken dinner but I did win the giveaway Keri had on her blog. I certainly was surprised when I received her email saying I'd won. I rarely win any of the giveaways I enter. Yeah Me!.

I had a couple of you ladies asking how I did the pinwheels. They are simple really but I'll make up a turtorial and get it posted soon for those of you that want to make some.

Thanks for reading and have a happy day.
