Roses are red

This old timey rose was here when we moved in but only one stem; now it is quite large and this year it is putting on a beautiful display of red. I am hoping to transplant it to our property or one of the smaller ones that have come up near it. It is a shame that it blooms just once but the show it puts on is well worth the yearly wait to see. I LOVE roses! Scott calls them briars.

CATS!

"Little Nickie", "Mr. Tesla" and "Tara" doing what they do best; especially right after their breakfast.

Deltec Homes

Scott and I attended a Deltec Homes Workshop this past weekend and are ready to have one built on our property. We just have to get this house ready to sell. Our plan is to sell anything without a real function or connection to us over the next 11 months to "empty" the house a good bit. And then next March we plan to put this place on the market. LOTS to do in 11 months but we will do our best to move forward with our plans.We are looking at having a 1200 square foot Deltec put on our 10 acres. Just big enough for two to live in on a regular basis and then a visitor every now and then. I've been playing around with their graph paper layout and have a house drawn up all ready. Scott and I will probably move the walls and such about over the next 11 months on paper and then present our own drawing to Deltec to put into blueprint plans. We love the look and strength of these round homes. http://www.DeltecHomes.com

Greg's Dodge pillowcases

I finally got around to making Greg's cases with the new pattern/instructions and I think they turned out GREAT! Greg loves them.

Amelia's picture

When she saw me take Little Nickie's picture she started fussing so I told her if she'd sit I'd take her picture; so here she is striking a pose.

Surprises in the garden

The dainty pink primrose has spread everywhere that it's roots and seeds would take it. Scott has pulled a good bit up but I asked him not to pull the largest mass of plants and these are the blooms I found this morning. Little Nickie was also in the garden. The electric wire we put around the garden to keep Amelia (dog) out doesn't seem to bother him one bit he just walks right past it.

A little me

My first attempt at making a doll with a face and a theme. legs and hands definitely need improvements on the next try... IF I try again! I'll be shipping this doll to my swap partner in the UK... her doll is gorgous but she makes dolls all the time. I almost feel like I'm cheating her as mine is so "beginner"; but at least I gave it atry! Right?
