Hmmmm!?

These were baked up for a Telemiracle Bake Sale for school

but

wouldn't they make cute pincushions?

New additions!

This sweetheart arrived at 6:35 am much to the surprise of her parents.

Thumbing Our Noses

My boys were home yet again as school buses were not running Monday with the -44C temps.

To keep them a little on the busy side, they put together this greenhouse of sorts.

*

My oldest had brought a plant home from school last year and was very proud of the fact that it had grown to 14", it was just getting so "all stalk with a tuft of leaves" looking.

I suggested it was high time to try and gain control of the situation before the poor coleus met it's maker. So with the weather at it's worst (again) I dug out an old fish aquarium, cleaned it out, checked the lights (Yay! they work) and the boys proceeded to add action figures and the like.

CJ added some of his drawings along with Dan's as a background! 

They have some orange seeds in here as well that are just starting to sprout!

So Old Man Winter,

we

 choose

 to 

  and bring some green into our scene!

Tomorrow, some stitching pictures.

Welcome!

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet & greet bloggers from around the world!

Thank you Vicky for organizing this fun event.

"Greetings, my name is Carolyn and I'm so glad to meet you."

Blogging. Why do I do it? Why do you?

I find it's my lifeline to the outside world! 

I live in a village on the Saskatchewan prairies of 175 people.

I am Mom to 2 , a step~mom to 1, Grams to 2, foster mom to 1, soulmate to 1 and

Mama to this sweetie, too!

*

I have met so many fabulous people online from all over the planet that 

share my passion for quilting, as well as 

 cross stitch,

 blackwork (this is new to me)

* 

*

and 

a revived interest in sewing clothes.

I've also taken a turn at both bear and doll making.

As well, I create jewellery.

*

I blog to connect. I blog to share. I blog to socialize. I blog to learn.

OH! Yes!

"There's another reason I blog..."to have GIVEAWAYS!"

*

Since I am delving back into jewellery making,

I thought this would be appropriate!

*

Drop earrings with unusual stones, Poseidon's Tribute is a gorgeous stone cut in a 

cathedral shape and in shades of gold and blues. 

Coupled with lovely crystal matte beads these earrings are so pretty.

The wire the beads and stones are threaded on and the

 secure lever back ear wires are gold plate and gold tone respectively.

a tap, tap, tapping.

This little fellow was quite busy, just hanging upside down!

I believe it's a Hairy Woodpecker. 

There appears to be a family of them around our house.

What a great shock of red and the mask lends some mystery to his task.
