A Day at the Garden

This week one of my little grandsons is having a birthday so my daughter decided to have us go to the Garden's at Thanksgiving Point on Saturday. The gardens were beautiful we so many different kinds of flowers. My daughter-n-law came with her three little boys so all together I had five of my grandson there, all under six!
It was such a nice day the weather was on the cool side and it said that it was going to rain but never did!
As you can tell the baby enjoyed his day at the gardens!
Then there's this little guy that love his shades!
Grandpa trying to keep up with the birthday boy!
And I don't know where this one came from!
And then there's the one that loves taking pictures. This one is of me taking a picture of him. Will it turned out to be a fun day that I enjoyed with my sweet little boys!

Summer quilt Swap

I finally got my fabric for the summer quilt swap so I'm ready to get started. I love the colors and I sure and I'm looking at doing something with a flower theme.

I've also been working on a cowboy quilt for hubby and its done I'm just getting the binding cut out and ready to put on. So look for pictures to come!!!

Wilkom or Welcome

I bought this Welcome sign several years ago when we went to Amish Country in PA. It has been in storage for years like six years. But now I have the perfect place for it by my side door into my laundry room.

I love how it looks with the color we painted and my red door!

Not really much to say it was a hard night last night. Paisley has had a really bad back for the last two years. About a year ago she jumped off my daughters couch and couldn't use her back legs for two days. But after finding out that the problem was at the end of her back just above her tail we put her on some medication and she was back to normal pretty fast. But last night as she went outback to use the grass, on the way down the stairs I noticed that she just wasn't herself. She just stood on the grass and looked like she just didn't feel real good and was in pain. So I told her lets go back in and then I noticed that she wouldn't go back up the stairs. So I picked her up found her medication and gave her one and off to bed we went. She had such a hard night not being able to move so I keep having to help her. Then about two am I thought she wasn't going to make it and I'm just not ready to let her go. She is eleven years old and I'm hoping she has a few more years! Hopfully after having another pill today it will start helping the pain!

My Sock and Paisley

My second sock is almost done and should be done by the weekend and ready to show. It has knit up so much faster than the first one. But now I need to go into the stash and find some yarn and a pattern for the next pair.

Paisley got a new do! She is never excited about going to the vet (yes that's where she gets in hair done) but this time was so different. When I opened the door to go in she took off running with her tail going back and forth. I think she has been so hot that she was pretty excited to get shaved. I just love when I pick her up and she smells so good and acts just like a little puppy not a girl that is eleven years old.

By the end of the day she is pretty worn out and loves to sleep on the arm of the chair in our office. I don't know how she can't sleep when she is setting up but she does. Sorry the picture is so dark but its late at night and that's all the lighting I can get in that room.

My Cute New Bench

Back in April I saw this sweet little bench setting in front a second hand shop that takes old furniture and paints in really cute. It was setting outside by the door of the shop and as I past by I saw it and thought it would look so cute in my entry. I'm one of those people that makes everyone take off there shoes when they come into my home. So hubby had been saying that we need a bench by the front door so friends could sit down to put there shoes back on. Back then I didn't have time to stop and look at it. And then I forgot all about it tell the other day when hubby brought it up again.
So off to the cute little shop we went and yes it was still there and now it was 50% off how lucky is that! I just love how it looks next to my hand painted cabinet. But now I need something to go above it next to one of my very favorite pictures. My daughter thinks I should find a big old clock but I'm still looking. If anyone has a idea please let me know!

Its a Girl!

What a crazy last two days!!!My daughter from Colorado shows up on Tuesday night to surprise me and then yesterday my son calls to let me know that they think they might be having a baby that night. But then 10 minutes after he calls he calls back to say "get here now"!!!!

So I jumped in the car to race to there house and half way there he calls back and says "Are you almost here shes having her now". So he called there friends that lives down the street and called me be to let me know that Brain would be there when I got there. Its was only 5 minutes and I was there. Then to my surprise my son called yes 10 minute later to say that they had a baby girl. She was in labor a total of 1 and 1/2 hours. Her water broke as she got to the hospital door and it was a race to get up to the labor room and there she was.

So hubby and I loaded our granddaughter and grandson into the car to go and see there new baby sister. But we had to make a couple of stops to pick up a little pink teddy bear and have something to eat at Wendy's. As you can see by the picture my granddaughter is loving her new sister. I didn't think she was ever going let me hold her.

Second sock coming along!

I don't know what it is about me but I have no problem working on my second sock. Its the first sock that is the problem. It always seems that it takes me so long to get the first one done and then I get so excited about it and then I just sail through the second.

My Black eyed Susan are blooming I'm so happy I didn't think they would ever bloom!
