Mailbox Surprise From A Dear Blogging Sister

Can someone living in North Carolina

actually have a heart as big as Texas? 

The answer is Yes!

 This lovely card and 2 yards of 

vintage printed fabric

arrived in my mailbox last week.

It's from Melba aka

"Henny Penny"

 

Melba is amazing!

She grows a marvelous garden.

Makes old fashioned Aprons & Sun Bonnets.

Raises farm animals with

as much love and care as children.

Then, on top of all of that

she and her husband live in a cabin

on a piece of property that they have worked

hard on to create a paradise. 

If you do not follow her blog . . .

you are missing the joy

on knowing this incredible soul.

You can find her blog here, just clink:

Look at these children up close.

Aren't they adorable.

I've not been sewing much since 

Steve's diagnoses.

I just don't like being out in the Art Barn

away from him.

So, I dug out my old Viking and 

brought it into the house.

I haven't used this machine in years

and it is so far behind my new one

that it's more work.

I actually have to thread my own needle

and cut the threads after sewing.

"Poor Me, Right"  LOL

Have a sweet day . . .

Keep Smiling . . .

and if you visit and follow 

Melba for the first time,

tell her I sent you :)

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
