Hello everyone! Happy March! Where did January and February go? We have been homeschooling, and I have been on a cleaning frenzy... That just is how it is for me all year long with a small home... The challenge of the lack of closets... The struggle is REAL! I have been organizing my work table, work space area, stocking supplies, buying new reproduction fabrics, and stitching... My current Goode Huswife sampler is above.. I am fortunate to have a collection of her retired designs.. I have had this pattern for many years and just now stitching it... What am I waiting on??

I need to get to working on my offerings for PHM-Primitive Handmades Mercantile.. A selling group that I sell on each 3rd Thursday of each month...Have you heard of us? We have a large group of talented ladies..Our next sale is next Thursday...March 17

I hope you all are doing well in this twilight zone world we are living in... 

Until next time! Jen 

 

Hi everyone!! I can't believe that it has been so long since I have last been on here...So much has changed in my life and our world...

It is October, my birthday month, but I have been  thinking about chicken and dressing, not a turkey fan, and all the fixins...I am wanting to get my menu planned already...

Is anyone still on blogger? It took a bit for me to figure out how to post...There is a totally new format....

I hope you are having a lovely autumn weekend!

Part 6......Last summer

So here is our little house as of summer 2017...The willow tree has grown and has to be trimmed several times during the season to keep it this size...It grows soooo fast! I did what I said I wasn't going to do...Lantana was planted in place of the shrubs...I still fear snakes as we have found baby snakes and grown snakes in that area each year...When I walk outside, I walk fast and I'm always eyeing the ground...It looks beautiful cascading over the rock wall...The red is 2 rose bushes that gets covered by the lantana...I may end up moving them to the back yard...We have talked about some kind of carriage lighting on each side of the garage...That will be another project...I will be sure to share if we do it...I want a tin roof someday...I want to redo the little porch area with pavers and do a stone walkway maybe....I want to talk Tim into doing the driveway in pavers like a Charleston street...lol...We will see...lol...In the meantime! This is our little farmhouse/ Charleston carriage house....Next time, I will start sharing the side yard and back yard!

Part 5...The Shutters...

The shutters...I stood and painted these in my pink fluffy house shoes in the driveway...Tim designed the hardware to match the the hardware on the garage doors...

I was so excited to see them go up after all that work on them...They took way longer to do than I expected...And they are heavy!

I talked Tim into digging up the 2 shrubs on each side of the willow tree...It opened up that whole area to some beauty....I will share it in another post...
