Crying Over You

You know the song by Roy Obenson ......  "Crying Over You"   willlllllll that is what I have been doing for the past week.

It finally worked.......    It was assembled today and I'm sooooo HAPPY!
I have quilting on my mind day and night.     This will be  my quilt studio,  the plans on on the drawing board as of today,  but I plan on firing this baby up this weekend.

This quilt was appliqued by a special friend Joyce who called me and wanted to know if I would quilt this.....
It was a bit scary at first but the more I look at it the more, the  I see a beautiful quilting design.    I have been playing with few designs on paper until I come up with the one I think would best suit this quilt.   I haven't told her yet but I would like to enter this in a show.   (she'll find out when she read this blog).....

At least I feel like I'm getting back into the quilting mode......    it has been so long since I felt like it.



HERE ARE A FEW PHOTOS THAT I TOOK

My  little garden

I was bored .....   decided to paint the mail box which you can see two miles either way.
What else is a girl to do when she live out in the country and can get to her quilting.   I think the deer will love it..........

This was such a beautiful double rainbow




This is the back of our property


From my flower garden

The floral canvas hanging on the wall was purchased at the good will  for $25  

A nice surprise



Until next time......   Enjoy!

We Live In a National Forest

She comes every morning to feed the baby......


We also have a mama bear and two cubs that visit at night.    Now that is a little scary......

The road I take to town 25 miles away......    a beautiful and peaceful drive.





The road to the house, a mile off the county road.



looking at our property from the road


my Bella .... she likes to chase the bears

I love this tree.....    I cleaned out some limbs to open it up for sun light for the flowers.    This is what you see first when you pull into the drive.


The deers have been nibbling at the yellow flowers.    There are so many butterflies around here and they are so beautiful. 

Before & After Kitchen






Whipped Cream (white) and a soft greygreen......


Here I go with my white again......lol
The kitchen was small and dark,  needed a little brightness to make it look bigger and more open.
