Happy first day of Summer!!!..I have to laugh about this because it has felt like summer since April here..We're having triple digits this week with high humidity and no rain...Ugh!!!!!..Luke and I are hanging out watching cartoons...I think after dinner some x-stitching and some movie time sounds good!!!...How are you spending your first day of summer???

~~hugs, Jen

I just decided on a place to put my sampler i made from Lee's design of Falling Star Primitives....Love her designs and she is sooooo sweet...I'm honored to call her my friend!!

I shared this sampler a few posts back, but hadn't framed it or anything....I bought the frame unfinished and antiqued it....But then it sat for weeks because I was uncertain of where to put it...

I also stitched mine in black, grays and pale blue so it would fit in with my color scheme....

I think I really like it here over my table in the kitchen...And I guess i will have to make one for the opposite side of the table to balance it out...

I'm having fun stitching things to sell and things for myself...Usually I sell just about everything I make and say "Oh, I will make me one another time."...But another time never seems to come..lol...And with my eyes going up to a #2 on my reading glasses i have to use to stitch by and needing more light...(My ott lamp came out recently for added light)...I decided i need to be making myself things also to have and hopefully pass down in my family someday when I'm gone....So, as I make things to sell and myself~~ I will share with you....I have sooooo many notebooks of patterns I've been collecting for years and haven't stitched, so it's time to get at it....What am I waiting for???

have a blessed and relaxing evening!!~~hugs, Jen

When did i become the mother of a 21 year old??????....It snuck up on me...It seems like just yesterday she was running around with blonde curly hair and pink glasses...Happy Birthday Taylor...You have the world at your feet...I will take pleasure in seeing what God has in store for your life....Fasten your seatbelt!!! Love, Mom, Dad, and Luke

Happy Father's Day to all the men in my life...My  husband, my brothers, my brother-in-laws, and my father-in- law....

And especially to my daddy!!!...I love you all!!!....Jenny

Hi everyone!..I wanted to share some goodies I got in the mail...Last month I signed up for a secret friendship envelope swap on Tammy's blog...I was lucky enough to get my goodies from Tammy herself....All I can say is THANK YOU TAMMY!!!!!...I LOVE it all!!! Tammy and I have the same taste and she knows my love of early blue fabrics, so she gifted me with the perfect primitive items for my home that i will always treasure...


I plan on going around and taking pics of where i put everything soon...I will share them in another post...


Until next time!! Have a great weekend!~~hugs, Jen

I'm still here!!!

Hi everyone!...I hope you're having a wonderful summer so far....Even though the summer hasn't actually begun  yet...I was looking at the calender the other day and it said it begins June 21st...I think we've been having summer since April here in Georgia....

I've been away from my computer the past few weeks....We have been struggling with the news of my sister in laws brain cancer the past several months and we received word that she is terminal...She will begin treatments on Monday in Jacksonville, FL to prolong her life as long as they can...

In case my new followers don't know, I'm a cancer survivor...I was given 6 months to a year when I was first diagnosed...But I went on to have my son and i have been in remission for 9 yrs now....God has blessed me!!!

So, I needed time away to wrap my mind around all of this...Karen's cancer is rare and she wiIl lose her eyesight during treatments....

It has been a really tough year with the beginning of my 13 yr old nephew's death til now....Please remember our families in your prayers...

In the meantime, I have been busy x-stitching new samplers and pinkeeps at night while my 4 yr old plays games and after i get him into bed...new things I haven't offered before....I'm enjoying the summer so far stitching random samplers i have had for years....Some I've stitched for myself, but most I've never stitched...So, be checking my selling blog....I'm going to start adding new things tomorrow evening....

Have a wonderful evening~~hugs, Jen
