Take Heart, My Child




10 Thanksgiving Centerpieces that You Can't Kill



In my younger days, I worked for the best floral shop in San Leandro, CA. 

My Boss, was a very petite French Canadian woman called Marge. 
She once commented in the late 80's that no one celebrated
Thanksgiving like they used to, the orders for Thanksgiving
arrangements were down and spirituality it made her sad.
Thanksgiving is a time to stop and say thank you to God and your family.

Just say Thank You.

Let's Bring Thanksgiving back!

My Grandfather, Christopher Turner, owned Barron Woolen Mills and he made the best sweaters, coats, and blankets.
He made one for each of us and when I had to throw it away (due to overuse)

out of the closet and think of me!

I think that I found one!

Well, let's take a look at what I have done.

Granite Stitch Men's Scarf





Crochet for Fall Fashion




The wind is blustery with gray and white clouds streaming by my front porch. A lone leaf is tumbling down the sidewalk. It is a wonderful fall day. Football is on and all my children will be over for hamburgers and a great Browns game. I hope!

17 Outrageous Wind Chimes


Summer isn't over just yet! There are many good days and nights, especially now that it is almost fall. There will be a nip in the air and sitting outside will be delightful. I am not a fan of heat and humidity, my hair doubles in size and it curls in some unnatural ways. I must say I love fall! I do hang out outside a bit more in the fall so I like to add a little color. Wind Chimes are a good way to add color and some of these are a work of art, so, let's take a look. Some of them you can use as inspiration and some you will just have to droll over on pinterest.
