Let Freedom Ring with Gratitude Always

Such a nice surprise . . . Vacation Time :O)

Well, I'm going to be doing some traveling the first week of August.  My middle son, Brian gave me a wonderful Mothers Day present.  A trip to go see him in Madison, Wisconsin and to the big city of Chicago.  I'm so excited to go . . it's been a while for me since I've done any traveling and really looking forward to this trip.  Cassandra my daughter, of course will be joining me.  So it time to get ready and do some shopping.

Happy Mamma's Day

May all of you have a beautiful day with your loved ones . . . Blessings xo

Little Pretties

I thought I would create some little pretties for my doll.  I originally had a bird's nest attached with some aqua blue seam binding ribbon, but I really didn't like the way it turned out.  So I decided on a necklace  brooch instead. Some oatmeal colored linen, pale pink rick rack trim and a few pieces of felt to create a little flower, added some straight stitches and french knots too.  Here some pics of it  . . it's certainly not perfect, but thats what I love about it.
