Under The Sun With Me

APPRECIATING...

"I have, as it were,

my own sun and moon and stars,

and a little world

all to myself."

-Henry David Thoreau

HAPPY WEEKEND!!!

A SWEET SURPRISE...

my friend

SUSY

surprised me yesterday with this cute PINCUSHION...

we are

STITCHIN' FRIENDS

that meet up at 

THE COUNTRY LOFT

a few times each month,

 these "special" friends are so necessary in our lives...

we share laughter and joy, sadness and sorrows,

 and we all share the LOVE of SEWING...

Thank you SUSY for stitching this

BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS

for me...

it made my day! 

This little heart is on the back :)) 

 

ARE YOU READY FOR A "GOOD TIME" ???...

Well if you are, I hope you will join me

at SUMMERS PAST FARMS

for two classes I will be teaching

coming up in MARCH...

the first class is a 

DECOUPAGED BUTTERFLY HOUSE

and 

the second class is a

WHIMSICAL FAIRY HOUSE...

A "good time" to welcome in SPRING!

The FARM will be BLOOMING with COLOR 

and we will be upstairs in the BARN enjoying a day in the COUNTRY.

Hope to see you there !!!

Have a fun friday!!!

"Gramma's Little Angel"...

I picked this little bouquet for my daughter this morning and am leaving it on her table next to two of

my favorite pictures of her and my MOM...

They were buddies and she misses her dearly...she started back at SDSU yesterday and came home overwhelmed and exhausted. Off she went again early this morning, I hope today is a better day and that these little flowers will make her smile on her return home...

She will always be Gramma's Little Angel :))

A GOOD MONDAY MORNING TO YOU!...

Surround yourself with pretty things and enjoy every moment...

My walk by the Bay this morning was so nice,

after

a 

bit 

of

rain had fallen...

EVERYTHING

was fresh and clean!
