June, July and everything in between....

I can't believe it is August already. I guess it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I guess not much going on except the garden growing this summer. And summer is almost over. School starts Tuesday for Gabby. I know it was a boring summer for her, sorry Gabby. Hope school this year will be a great Sophomore year for her.

I never did show any pictures of the garden growing. Sorry, don't know what the heck I was thinking. We had tons of tomatoes this year, green beans, cucumbers and carrots. Hardly any squash, stupid bugs got them this year no matter how much I sprayed. Now I need to plan on some veggies to plant for Fall.

So like I said it has been pretty boring around here. Even the dogs are so bored they are trying to get Gary's attention at the same time. Theo has to sit on his lap and Presley can't stand it so he sits on top of the end table. Gotta love our dogs, they are so goofy.

So now that the summer is almost over I need to figure out what to do about making some money. Not sure what I want to do. Well I do, I want to do the fabric thing, but afraid to spend the money to start it up. But hopefully something will happen soon. Until then I just keep trying to finish somethings I have started. Pulled out a quilt that I bought the fabric over ten years ago. That's pretty bad. I will probably finish it and give to someone as a Christmas present. Just need the motivation. But the top is almost done so I should be able to do it.

Well until next posting, I hope everyone out there is doing well. Hopefully I won't take months before I post again.

Project bags...finally added...

to my Artfire account. I don't know why it has taken me so long, but I finally put some project bags at my store. Here is the link: http://www.artfire.com/users/petschminibear Let me know what you think. It was hard putting the pictures on there for me, just like here, it takes me awhile to figure it out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER!!!!!!

26 years ago today I was having our second daughter Heather. Isn't she beautiful. She has always been such a blessing to us. Happy Birthday Heather, we love you!!! Hope you have a fabulous day. Wish we could celebrate with you. We miss you!!!

Happenings around here....

My 50th birthday.....

Don't you love the banner my family embarrassed me with, Gabby made it in school. The week before my birthday I was really depressed and was not looking forward to it. But it came and went and I'm okay with it now. People don't think I look 50, so I guess that is a good thing.

Margaret, Lynn and I went to Sonja's house last Monday to see the new lamb's. They were so cute...

Started the garden, it's starting to spout things, which makes me happy......

And we have a new addition to the yarn shop....little Miss Fiona....an English Angora bunny....I have to admit she is very cute....

And the "Blooming Cotton Scarf" that I made as a sample for the yarn shop...it was fun to make...and the shop has all the different color combinations for your knitting needs :-)

Happy Anniversary Heather & Bill...

Wow these last two years have gone so fast. Today is Heather and Bill's 2nd wedding anniversary. What a beautiful wedding they had and what a wonderful couple they make. We are so blessed to have Bill has our son-in-law. He is a great husband to our daughter, Heather. Happy Anniversary you two, may you have 50+ more happy years together. We love you!

Spring break....

is over. Gabby and I didn't go down to Florida. We just didn't have enough time this spring break and wouldn't of been able to do the things we wanted. Hopefully this summer we will be able to go, plus I am trying to get enough courage to fly to Idaho to see Heather and Bill. Grandma thinks that Gabby, me and her should go, we shall see.

The weather has been crazy here. I order some tomato plants by mail, they came and then I wasn't able to plant them because we were still having freezing weather at night. This passed Friday we had a real bad storm that caused us to loose power for 22 hours. What a pain that was, no internet, no lights, no tv, what were we to do.

We did go to the Georgia Aquarium on Thursday. It was nice, but not as great as some people have said it was. Plus it was so crowded that I was so anxious the whole time I was there, which is an awful feeling. But here are a few pictures of some of the fish we saw.

And here is a picture of a butterfly that I found in a head of broccoli that I got at Publix. It was rapped in plastic and stored in my refrigerator for 2 days and was still alive. What a miracle. We put him out in my herb boxes on the porch. But unfortunately he blew away when we had the storm on Friday, sorry Gabby.

Well I think I am back to posting on my blog again. I have been away and doing the Facebook thing, but I kinda think the whole Facebook thing is silly. I like bloggin better. I will have more post of my knitting and I just learned to spin fiber so I will have updates and pictures of that. So until then.....watch out for that Mother Nature because I think she is crazy lately.
