First I want to thank Sarah at All roads lead home for the awsome giveaway that I won.
She was so generous with all of the goodies that she included and I cant wait to find a spot for them in my house.
Also my little girl graduated from the 8th grade and will be starting High School next year. Oh my gosh time has flown. She finished the year with honors and we are so proud of her. Heres a picture of her and her dad on graduation day.
I also had a chance to participate in a folk life festival with one of my best friends Lori from Not Forgotten Farm. It was hot but we had a great time. Heres Lori demonstrating needle punch.
The fellow on the right is Corbin and he is 14 and can play a banjo like nobodys business. And by the way he made the banjo that he is playing.
Ive worked on a few projects that I would like to share
A couple of penny rugs.
A couple of punch needle projects
And a few wool applique pillows
I some other projects that I will share with you soon one is a Santa punch needle pattern that I created and he is just too..... primitively cute.
I have a new favorite spot that I love to sit at in the evening when everything is cooling down and just relax a while on my porch.
Last week I bought a wonderful new swing that I cant wait to hang on the other side.
My husband and I garden and work in the yard often but I will have to admit one of my favorite things to do at home is float in the pool.
I also wanted to share a photo of my butterfly bush I just love the purple blooms
Every summer a bird builds nest in one of my ferns on the front porch and here is a glimpse of this years babies
Today I went to Lori's and I am so excited because I purchased a new rug hooking frame and I just cant wait to hook something on it. For those of you who know Lori from "Not Forgotten Farm" She is one tough cookie. I just love her to death but God sure does throw alot her way. Not only is she caring for a terminally ill sister but now she has kidney stones. So please keep her and her family in yours prayers.
Well until next time and I hope its not as long as it has been keep stitchen......
