Banner...

This is on one of my walls. I purchased an old tin tile and hung my banner across the front. It looks better in person. The colors are more distinct. Love it though.

George Washington...

I have been interested in history now more than ever and Mr. Washington has caught my attention. He was a very religious and patriotic man. I have been reading his farewell address and taking my time to do so.

Here is a snippet: "Of all habits and dispositions which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.
In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars."

Snowman Ornament...


I've been making these little guys to sell at my show and thought I'd try to sell one on my blog.
He's made from clay. I've sculpted, painted and added a piece of cotton flannel for a scarf. This little snowball is 1 1/2 inches wide. I've put a piece of jute string on for hanging.
The second photo captures his true colors.
Ornament is $12.00 - this includes the shipping.
U.S. sales only.
Email me if you're interested.

The Rug

This is my rug that I chose to be on my floor. It has a story. My grandfather collected wool pieces and sent them to a rug factory which in turn made a rug out of the pieces. This is one of the two rugs I inherited. The other rug is huge. It was made to cover a large livingroom.
It goes well in here. I think Grandma & Grandpa would be pleased.

A Few Pictures...

from this morning. I couldn't resist taking a walk. I saw a couple of red tail hawks this morning purched on a branch and had to try and get a closer look. Well, you notice, I don't have a picture of them - they are a bit camera shy.
