God Bless America!
Blessed is the nation
whose God is the Lord.

A little sewing craft to decorate
the house on the inside . . .
adding a little Red, White & Blue.
Made from stripe and polka dot fabric,
then hot glued to twigs.
God Bless You All!
Have a wonderful weekend.

Hello Dear Friends,
There is a lot of road
construction going on in
our town this summer.
So, today while in town
I had to take a short detour.
Do you remember the old song,
"Detour There's A Muddy Road Ahead"
well in my case
there was a little antique shop
on this route that I'd been hearing about,
so of course I had to visit.
I love bowls and this one caught my eye.
This is the design on the outside of the bowl.
And this is the inside pattern.
This is the marking on the bottom.
Look at all the little cracks . . .
why do I love that?
I also purchased this little pitcher
I haven't measured it, but I think
it probably holds a pint.
It's small but much larger than a creamer.
Look at the pattern on the handle,
cool right?
And again the mark on the bottom.
Look close there are more
little cracks . . .
Love those sweet little signs
of aging.
Here it is filled with flowers
from my garden :)
Oh, the lady that owns the shop
was so sweet, we talked for
a while and quickly became friends.
Making a new friend was even
sweeter than finding these
lovely treasures.
Wishing each of you a lovely week,
Try smiling and saying "Hi"
to a stranger . . .
you might make a new friend :)

God bless you,
Connie :)
Summer is here!
Finally :)
I absolutely love cutting flowers
from the garden and bringing
them into the house.
They say,
"Make hay while the sun shines"
And now that the rain has slowed
down, that's what the farmer
across the road is doing.
I've had time to work on the
quilt that I started last Fall :)
All of my blocks are quilted
with batting and backing . . .
Now I'm starting to trim them all
to a 17 inch square . . .
And when they are all trimmed,
I'll start putting them together
in a "Quilt As You Go"
fashion.
This method works so well for
large quilts, if you don't have
a long-arm machine.
Last fall I purchased this old
apron at a thrift store.
I can't remember what I paid,
but I remember thinking that
it was too much because of the stain.
Now I'm happy to have an old stained apron
hanging in my kitchen.
It's the first one I pick
for a dirty job :)
I bought it because I wanted
to use it for a pattern.
so, yesterday I made this :)
Well, that's it for today.
Thank you so much for visiting.
I hope you'll take a minute
to leave a comment and say "Hi!"
God bless you all!
Connie :)
