Hi Kids, I am finally getting around to posting my new pictures of my garage sale finds, ie; The Eiffel Tower pic, and The Flat Iron building in New York City.  I got them for a really great price at a neighbors garage sale.  I put them together with some framed artwork that I finished framing, and sorta-kinda put them up, but I am not quite finished yet! Not sure what else to do with everything, but I will get my inspiration soon to finish it! There are also pics of my corner garden of butterflies and birdhouses, attached to my tree branches, but I am not quite finished there either......I will be back,,,I promise!  :) Later.........

Well I know I posted these pics of my flower garden on FB a while ago, but here they are on my blog, along with my magical dragonfly lights that I installed at the beginning of summer to add some dramatic effects to my garden! Hey, it is the only thing that keeps me from going totally insane, is to be able to work in the dirt and watch my flowers grow and look beautiful! I also actually have some tomatoes that are still green, but growing like crazy, that I gave to John for his Father's day/Birthday/Anniversary gifts. Three wonderful tomato plants, a pumpkin plant, and a zucchini plant. The later 2 plants have orange blossoms on them, so there might actually be some time left in this summer of ours, to grow a squash or two! We will see kids! Anyways, here are my pictures of everything! Keep enjoying this wonderful weather, Western Washington! Sooz :)

My baby!!!

Here is my sweet baby, Beauty! She is my bestest pal! You gotta love a devoted cattle dog! Right?

My Johnny

Here is a picture of John since his surgery 2 weeks ago today! He keep losing weight, and is looking really great! Keep up the good work dear! :)

totally exhausted!!!

Hey there kids.....these last few to say the least weeks and months have nearly killed me! I have been taking care of my sick and post surgical husband. He had his gall bladder removed 2 weeks ago today, and he is doing okay, but still has pain from the whole pancreatitis issue! Time will tell!
I have also been taking care of my mother in law, who is also recovering from surgery, and it makes for a very weary Mom here! I will survive it all, I just need a vacation now!

I have wanted to do something creative, but have not had the energy, so this week, I am going to take time out just for me, and craft my soul out! I have so many cute things to make, and quilt, it isn't even funny! My Mother,  bless her heart let me have custody of two very precious heirloom quilt tops that a cousin of her mother made years and years ago. The grandma's flower garden was all sewn together piece by piece by hand....NO MACHINES were involved. It is an absolute work of art. And the other quilt top is beautiful with little tiny squares, but it was put together by machine, but is equally gorgeous! Now i just have to get a non- rainy Seattle day to put them up outside in the driveway where I have room for my quilting stands, and then i will roll them up after I pin the layers together to quilt on my large oval hand quilting stand. Weeeee,,I get to have the most fun! I will post some before and after pictures!  :)

Let me know what you would like to see, or have me make,,,I can do just about any theme or color out there! have a great day! Sooz-Q

Making paper flowers

The last couple of days or so I have been making paper flowers for my hand made cards.  I have had a lot of fun creating, glittering, gluing, and sewing......I think they turned out really cute! I even sat down with my print master program and designed my own papers to use in making my flowers....I have just been having way too much fun!!! I am going to be listing them in my Etsy shop, yardsellr on facebook, and here,,,, for sale, if anyone is interested! :)

Things are good!

 I have been busy still redecorating the house...It is an exciting venture, but one that is difficult to navigate, only because I  have so many personalities to please......EVEN THOUGH,,uh HUM,,,I am the one who mostly enjoys what is on the walls, and I have to see it all from day in and out! But I am trying to stay somewhat neutral to everyone's tastes, and still get my beautiful pictures hung and decorations put on shelves. I recently hung up my thrift store shelf that I purchased for a slight $8.00 at Goodwill. I saw it's future repainted, and ready to house all of my beautiful snowglobes that my wonderful children have given to me over the years of their trips to Disneyland. I am posting pics of my creation! Enjoy, and have a great rest of what's left of today! :)

I am Busy, Busy crocheting Rag Rugs!

I have spent most of today crocheting rag rugs for my online stores.....My hands are aching and are very tired! I think it is time to take a little break for a while. My rugs are fun to make, and right now I am making a beautiful 70 inch rug to sell! WoW it is going to be huge!!!  :) But it will look nice on someone's floor if anyone is interested.  Here are some pictures of the smaller versions of my rugs~~~I can make any color combo, or just one color, in almost any shape or size~~~Enjoy!!!
