In the garden.......

I think of this every morning when I am in my backyard......one of my favorite hymns that I remember from childhood...... I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses. And He walks with me and He talks with me, And He tells me I am his own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. He speaks, and the sound of his voice is so sweet The birds hush their singing,...
Happy Mother's Day...........

This sweet lady was my #1 fan...my biggest cheerleader....my forever and ever encourager. She made sure I had something new to sew all the time.....my treat at the end of the week was a new sewing pattern and pretty fabric for my next project.....and this started when I was maybe 11 or 12 years old!

This mood board is so "me!" From the dainty perfume bottles, to the vintage fashions, to the luscious feminine sleepwear.....I love it all! And "handmade" is a reflection of the quality that you will find in everything that I make, and in all that I collect. There is an appreciation for the work of artisan hands that permeates every fiber of my being! God placed in me that passion many years ago and it was further cemented there by the precious women who influenced me as I grew from a little girl with nimble fingers and a tiny thimble, to...

I saw this handsome fellow in my front yard this afternoon.....had never seen one of these before so after befriending him until he grew bored with me, I ran inside to do some research and identify him. This is a Cowbird! I had never heard of one although they apparently are quite common. It is interesting that they use the old nests of other birds. He let me get amazingly close while I gently tossed safflower seeds toward him. The sound that he made as he was apparently calling his mate was very unusual....I have definitely not heard one of...
