I'm very fond of Kay, we've struck up a friendship through the What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday blog. <br />I had a look through some of your posts...love what you did with your work top surface, clever idea marking the measurements and grid on there! Oh, and the cowboy boot corsages are a fab idea. Might have to make some of my own!<br />Hugs, LLJ xxLunch Lady Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592783504717849403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-9306110251390193252014-09-06T11:27:31.510-07:002014-09-06T11:27:31.510-07:00Hi Kathy, it is just great seeing you smiling and ...Hi Kathy, it is just great seeing you smiling and enjoying what the future holds.

I'm not able to do the blog hop, because we are getting ready to go (plus, the topic on my blog right now isn't really what I want brand new people seeing, lol). I did visit Kay's blog though. Thanks so much for stopping over to see me this morning.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-44031385980698230802014-09-06T08:44:34.566-07:002014-09-06T08:44:34.566-07:00Hi Connie, thanks! And thanks for your lovely comm...Hi Connie, thanks! And thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. So nice to hear from you. One day I would like to visit the US but like you visiting the UK, think it is extremely unlikely lol! Blogging is great because you can see so many lovely photos and get a feel of different places. We have a lot of very narrow roads here, particularly in the area where we live, with room for only one car, and you often have to back up to allow them to pass. We also have very high banks either side of the road so you can't see what's coming! Visitors are terrified, but living here, we've got used to it. I'm so glad you enjoyed my Plymouth photos. Just up the hill from there, is the place where the Pilgrim Fathers left on the Mayflower - there's an archway and a plaque. We always try to take our American visitors to see it!<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words about my work - I don't really consider myself to be a card maker and only make them when necessary. I much prefer to explore mixed media art! I am about to start some evening classes in felt making which will be something new. Like you, I love to make things from recycled, cheap, or better still, free materials, creating something beautiful out of something that would otherwise be thrown away. It stretches your imagination and you start looking at things in a different way - my hubby thinks I'm mad when I keep saying "I wonder if I could make art out of that?" Lol!<br /><br />Talking of history, my hubby has been taking part in a local archaeological dig - they open up the site each year. They have discovered a Roman settlement, which is very exciting as it's the first evidence that they settled this far west. We have a lot of history here, much of it still beneath our feet!<br /><br />I love your new bungalow and everything you are doing with it - it's so homely, and so pretty. Your house is older than ours lol! Ours was built in 1925. It still has quite a lot of its original features. Like you, I did a whole series of blog posts about the renovations we had done when we were moving, and there are lots of photos. I can't believe it's all a year ago now! So much has happened and the time goes so quickly.<br /><br />ShoshiShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-48508819612605653942014-09-06T07:31:52.001-07:002014-09-06T07:31:52.001-07:00Welcome Shoshi, it is great to meet a friend of Ka...Welcome Shoshi, it is great to meet a friend of Kay's.

I had no idea that it would be this hard to get sisters to hop on to the Hop, but this is a busy time for a lot of people. My husband took this week off from work so that we could get some of our big jobs done around here and we have been hitting it hard all week. Today we are spreading the gravel that arrived yesterday and then we are starting to dig a ditch for the electric to my Art Barn. Yesterday I was in there moving everything to the center of the room, so the electrician can do the wiring on Saturday. <br />Thank you again for your sweet words. I feel better having someone say that I don't need to worry if I do not get three blogging sisters to hop on board. Also, Thank you for following my blog, I enjoy making new friends and sharing ideas. Blogging has made the world seem smaller and friendlier . . . it doesn't matter where we live, we have so many common goals and common interests. Life is good:)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-62418691879361512014-09-04T06:21:52.525-07:002014-09-04T06:21:52.525-07:00Hi Connie...

I've become your newest follower and I'd love to have you visit me and join my blog, too, if you like! I found your intro bio to be very engaging and can't wait to see your hop post next Monday. I have been in the hop and I know several ladies who have just had to have their branch end with them because they couldn't find people to tag. You just do the best you can and I say just leave it open. If you find someone weeks from now that you think might like to jump in, go for it. As you said, it's a wonderful way to get to know each other!! See you next Monday! (Your plans for the acre sound great!)
