Pretty mail

Sun glow on flowers
Hummingbird sips the nectar
Bees gather pollen
This is my Saturday morning..... a lovely day to end my work week. I am looking forward to a few days off from the hustle and bustle. Mr H is still picking tomatoes from our garden.... a great crop this year. It is still a novelty to us to be having tomatoes in the garden in January/February. He replanted my little herb garden of parsley, chives and basil with some pretty lavender.  Yesterday just before leaving for work the garage bell rang and that can only mean  a package has arrived. I won the drawing at Donna's Grow Your Blog Party....
Look at these lovely earrings..... so Victorian. A perfect little silver container is what she sent them in. Thank you Donna. If you have never visited Donna, please do.
On Wednesday Mr H and I went to Staples where I bought my bookcase...just a simple on to hold books and some of my "stuff". I did mention to Esther that it was okay to find me books again as I have a new place for them! Actually, she never stopped......
EvaP is doing well....thank you for the kind wishes for her. Mom was so pleased that you thought of her. I ma due for routine blood work...I keep putting it off... just so silly of me. Guess Monday will be the day....after my Sun Stitchers meeting in the morning. In the meantime, welcome to new friends and thank you to all for the kindness you share with me. I do treasure our friendships. Have a wonderful day.

Grow Your Blog

This is my first time joining in this party hosted by.....Vickie of 2 Bags Full. Some of you already follow me and I welcome anyone new.
I have been doing all types of needlework since I was 7 years old and taught by My Aunti Lucy to Crochet, my Aunti Angie to knit and all other learning was on my own...well, except for my newest adventure with Tatting and that is with my friend Debra teaching me. I really enjoy learning something new all the time. I have been blogging for 3 years and enjoy sharing my craft and life. My husband and I moved from Rhode Island in 2004 to our current home in Arizona. We love it and I can't think of ever going back to the East Coast. He is retired and I still work part time for Jo Ann Fabrics......love the discount and sales. I will be celebrating my 67th birthday Feb 3rd and hope to continue to enjoy all that I do for many years to come. If you have not visited me before let me show you some of my work...
 An embroidered piece for my sis Lynowl......
 a sewing kit from a design by Kaaren of The Painted Quilt
 some bracelets in the tennis style
 a sewing box from a lovely cigar box
 A Black Bird Design
 A doll pincushion 

a Biscornu...love making them







I am glad you stopped by and hope you will visit often. If you have time, look back on some of my older posts. Blogging has been wonderful for me. Meeting new friends from all over the world....learning from one another....being there for those days when friends really make a difference. I look forward to hearing from you....drop me a line and introduce yourself.
