Our Driveway...

What do you see when you pull into your driveway?
I see my lavender plants welcoming me.

I see my "Scotty w/a Potty" & her little sister, "Farmgirl on the Loose" shyly hiding behind her.

I see the Pergola that my darling husband built for me.

I see the planting we put into the ground to bring life to our property.

I see Possibilities.....

So,,,?...What do you see when you pull into your driveway?

My Kitty is 'Going Green'...

We have been trying to do our share of 'Living Green'.... even our lil Peekaboo has been giving it some thought....

I took an old kitty litter box, filled it with potting soil, and planted Cat Grass seeds for Peekie to enjoy.

Looks like she might be enjoying it a little to much! lol!

Yep, she's goin' green,,,, actually she isn't using it as a littler box, she just likes to lay in it. Makes her feel like a wild kitty with out the flies & bugs! What can I say, she is our little miss priss.

I have been in the Dungeon...

Yep! I have been spending time again in my Dungeon again and this is what I have been up tooooo! I have 'sew' much fun in my sewing room.... This is the apron & 'tuck-ins' for my Apron Swap partner..... As you can see, the theme is 'Tropical~Aloha'.

I purposely placed the pockets so the birds would look like they are perched on the pocket....if you click on the photo it will give you a better view. (yes there is a yoyo on this apron-can you see it?)

and yes... this was what my apron was in it's former life... a MuMu....how fun is that...

Just got to love re-purposing..... I even (re) attached the origional dress lable to the apron.

Aloha!

Here Kitty kitty kitty....

Don't you just Hate it,,,when you are in a hurry to leave the house and you try to do a "Kitty check head count "...only to not be able to find one of your kitties!?!... Of all places,,,,for Dolly~girl to 'hide'... she never sleeps in this thing...and to think, I had spent a good 10 minutes looking for her!
Ah, the joys of being a Katmom! lol! and my friends wonder why I am always late!

Dolly, you stinker,,, i think i will put a 'beeper' on your collar!

Now back to her nappy time..... what she does best!

What a Wonderful Afternoon...

Just lil ol me sitting out in my Lavender field....my lavender is just starting to bloom, a little late because of the long long Winter.

"Women of the Wild West" & "MaryJane Farm Girls" gathered up for "Tea Under the Shade Trees".

Yep, that's me, front row in the rust colored skirt.

Karen, myself & Diane...don't we look cutsie in our aprons? :>)

"Cow Girl Boots Kick Butt" not to mention make us gals look Cow girlie Cute!.

(l to r) Maryjane, Rebekah, Meg, me, Kim.

Who wouldn't want a sweet bed in their back yard to take sweet summer naps in, to dream of overflowing gardens and apron projects.

(l to r) Kim, Sharon & Karen and Heidi (in back ground).....as usual, I am not in the photo because I am behind the camera!
We are at a delightful little Quilt shop called "The Quilted Moose" in Colfax, WA.

( www.myquiltedmoose.com ) There so many wonderful projects on display, oh if only I had a week to come play & create.

This is one of the projects they offer. It is a dimensional mini Crazy Quilt..it is actually even more lovely when you have it in your hands to look at it. It has all sorts of embellishments.

I couldn't resist taking a photo of this sweet, simple to create apron... I love the pocket with sweet sayings on it too!

After being in Heidi & Caren's sweet shop, I could hardly wait to get home and make another apron.... I am so inspired by these talented women and their little shop...it may be small in size but certainly not small on creativity...everywhere I looked I would gasp and say,,,'I need to do that'...or 'I want that fabric'..... It was like being in a candy shop, and the projects were the candy! SWEET!
