Old Boot.....With a Mum

I came across a pair of Joe's old boots, thinking I had gotten rid of all of them, but very happy that I didn't...because it is now a planter! I water proofed the boot again, and put the plant in it! So far so good! I will need to get another plant so that I can use both boots! My kids thought that I was  bit strange on doing this....but I have seen stranger yard decor than this! Now he can enjoy the yard with the rest of us!

I have been stitching on Andrea's wedding sampler, hoping to get it finished for their 1st Anniversary in September! At the moment I am getting bored with it, so I might put it on the side for a week, and pick up something else to work on!

Last Wednesday night at David's there was a bad storm, Lightning and Thunder, I sat on his back porch to watch the show I love storms like that!

We had a storm that came through this morning, high winds, pouring rain....the whole 9 yards! Uprooted my screen house from the cement, that it was screwed into! I have to go out and fix it now, but will have to wait for David on Wednesday to see what else would have to be done.

Enjoy your Day!

Old Brooch...New Necklace

Since I don't work anymore, I don't have a need to wear a brooch or a pin on my jacket, some were from my grandmother, I just didn't want to get rid of them. Going through Pinterest, I found a necklace made from a braided cord, and old brooches where pinned on it, so I set out to make one. I also have  old clip on crystal earrings that I just won't wear, so I figured I could inter change the pieces.

Home made necklace

Now I am going through the Jewelry from my mom and grandmother to see what else I could use! It doesn't look that bad on either! My grandmother never went anywhere without a brooch and her earrings!

Enjoy your Day!

My Personal Sampler as of July 3, 2012

I have been working on my Personal Sampler, I'm on page 4 of 12, still a ways to go to get it finished, but it's getting there! I think the hardest is the boarder, now looking at it I should have stayed with one color, but I didn't and I 'm too far to change it now! Maybe for the next one...don't think so, I have had some people tell me I should make one for each of my kids! Very far in the back of my mind at the moment.

Andrea and Glenn's Wedding Sampler as of July 3, 2012

My next project for this month will be working on Andrea and Glenn Wedding Sampler, hoping to get it done for their first wedding anniversary, in September! It's been so hot here that I don't feel like stitching at times, we only have A/C in the bedrooms, and don't keep it on during the day!

We had a storm this past week on Sunday and did a number on my screen house, I loved sitting out there in the evening. For the past 3 years we have had some nasty storms that have did some damage to my screen house, the house and some windows, last years hail storm did roof damage, and the screen house top, but I did manage to save it and get it up for this year, maybe it's trying to tell me something that it shouldn't be up! So for next year I will have to get a new top for it, can't save it again for next year!

70 mile an hour winds and hail!

Have a good one!
