It's Been a While!

Funny how summer takes on a life of it's own. One minute, not much to do, and the next is just swampville. Once we got the fence finished, the garden started producing. We have put up green beans, pickles (4 kinds), corn, and tomatoes. I got 6 custom bear orders all needing to be shipped while my girlfriend from Texas and my sister visited the last week of June. Whew!!

Then we got Chanel fixed, didn't slow her down too much. She is now over 40 lbs. and big. HaHa. This is her favorite afternoon napping spot, and whenever daddy wants to sit there! He complains, but for some reason does't make her move.



The temps have been really high here the past few weeks, so we haven't seen Blue in a while, and have been busy every evening watering. That rain seems to just go around us. We have only had .4" the past month.

It is almost time to start school shopping. I can't believe the summer vacation is almost over. I have tried to enjoy the summer with my daughter as this is her last summer before high school graduation. I thought it would never get here and yet I can't believe it is already here.

I will leave you with some eyecandy from all the flowers I have been watering every day. Enjoy!!







Hugzz,

More Bears!

The weather was so nice this weekend! Got some much needed work done in the flower beds, still more to do, but that will wait until after the snow we get tomorrow. I have lived here most of my life and am still amazed how it can be 80 one day and a few days later they are talking about freezing rain and snow. Boggles the mind doesn't it?

Oh well, stocked up on some supplies, crafting supplies of course, so I am all set! More Bears to be born, and things to do, like getting caught up on the blog.

Here are a couple of bears I finished, and as always you can find them in my etsy.




By the way, I have started using some of Becky's art that she has so generously given to me over the past few years in some of my pictures. Her link is on this page. I also won an ATC from FOREVER JANN and as soon as I receive it and make sure it is ok with her I am planning on using it as a prop also. Her link is here too!

Some things I have been working on!

I thought you might like to see some of the bears I have been working on. I get a lot of joy making them. Teddy bears are special in their own way. They seem to come to life, and have their own personalities after they are all sewn together.


The first 2 are custom orders and are already sold. The last one is in my etsy.



OXOXOXOX!
