Well, this is the end of a great normal quiet day...finished a baby blanket...for a close friend-- and just ran a few errands around town. Nothing out of the ordinary really, but was a good day.  I love days like that ...because they remind me of how we need to enjoy good happy days...because later we can remember them as parts that were important.



This year really flew by so quickly...We packed up almost half of  our stuff and put it in storage and then have waited for the market to pick up so the house will sell.  We will see if it happens this new year.  

Til then..my husband went back to work and is enjoying it alot.  It is great for  him to stay busy and out of my hair...he was really getting underfoot alot because I don't move as fast as he does.. haha!

We also attended a great Wedding for Wendy's son Ross and his new bride Nicole...in Sept...it was a beautiful wedding and the reception was held in their barn...it was really cool! Great Fun, Great Food and Great Friends!  



these are about 20 turkeys walking in our driveway! wow!

We finished off the year with a quiet Christmas and New Years Eve...each year gets alittle less 
noisy..not sure if I really like that.   Mack said Molly woke up because the neighbors up the mountain were shooting off guns and fireworks...she didn't like that at all...I didn't even hear her barking at that ruckus going on...I would have gotten up and added a "Happy New Year" if I wasn't so dead asleep.  Sometimes I don't sleep that heavy...but that was one of those nights I was just out!

So this year I am starting my Etsy Shoppe.... It is gonna be called..."Strands of My Heart" because of my sewing projects I plan to try to sell...and also for helping bereaved parents by offering to make memory quilts of their beloved children gone too soon.  I am jazzed about this project and got my first order/commission a week ago..just received  the package of materials to work with today...I will be starting this on monday 1/12/15 ...because tomorrow I'm going to Medford with the girls, Friday I am spending with taking my friend Debbie to Divorce court, and Saturday with Mack going to Medford for his Music/Banjo lessons, (I run around like a coo coo bird while he is busy teaching haha)  and Sunday is a Baby shower after Church...so I'm thinking maybe sunday afternoon I will get the pattern out and start plotting my aim of attack for this quilt....Think I can knock it out in no time at all because I am excited to get it back to the waiting mom...she is estatic about the whole idea...and I am too because it is a God Thing that it even has happened.  Thanks to Linda Chasin...friend of my new customer! God  heard my prayers of my heart and  stepped in and filled my future with what I love.  I was even thinking of trying to get a part time job  M-W-F...because T & Thus..are my busy workiing/volunteering days...but it still wasn't enough for my feeling of accomplishment.  Plus I miss extra income also..so this is a win, win for me!  Thank you Lord!

So it is 1:00 am in morning...I  have alot going on tomorrow...so better shut up and go to bed...Thanks for listening or reading...I ramble on and on .

{Oh, yes, while I was in Walmart today I ran into a Raleys Customer, and caught up with her...She was a long time old customer that lived in So.Cal also and we caught up on the past year since I've seen her. I loved all my old customers so very much...and warms my heart when I get to see them again.}


Nighty Night!  BJM
