Happy 4 Year Anniversary!!!!!

To my husband who has given me many wonderful ranch adventures......and to my dad who passed away a week before our wedding! I miss you so very much, and I love you both......


Well, I have not been posting on a regular basic and I thought I would share some images from my craft/ storage room and also a new interest of mine....but its not the little bear below. She just sits in my craft room.....cuz, she's cute.....

I have jars of buttons, ribbons and squares of wool felt.....


Here is something I have been stitching on for a while, in between other projects.....


I have loads of vintage buttons in little draws........


I also love all things that relate to the month of July, they can be found threw out my craft room and house.....


Of course you will find, lots and lots of yarn in all different colors......which leads me to my new interest.....

I have been crocheting squares for the Knit-a-square charity. Knit- a- square is a charity that knits or crochets square's and then sends them to Africa. Once the squares arrive a group of ladies from the local church's join the squares together and make blankets for the orphans and/or sick children. If you would like to join along, let me know or check out their site. It would be wonderful to have you join and help bring some warmth and sunshine into a little ones life......

some of my squares......


Well, I have been coming and going and not posting weekly, BUT, I have still been trying to keep up on my favorite blogs and I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer vacation...it sure sounds like you all are!!!!!

Hair for Charity!!!

Hello to all of you!!! I hope everyone is looking forward to summer. I am!!! My husband and I will be heading out to our ranch this weekend. But, before we leave, I will be cutting my hair for charity......



Yes...most of that hair above will be gone tomorrow...short? yes!! But, I'm excited !!!! I think it will be cute...cross your fingers and toes.....:)



While at the ranch this weekend, I hope to finish stitching this little wedding sampler for Christie's 1 year anniversary...I will be sure to post a pic of it when I have it in it's frame....If I'm brave I'll also post a pic of my haircut.....



Next is a pillow I decorated with different colored needlepoint thread. It started as a plain wool pillow that I wanted to make come alive and fit in with my living room. I added 5 different colors of thread, 2 inches apart by 9 rows and 18" by 18". If you want to make one and have questions, please feel free to ask....:)



I hope everyone has a wonderful week and weekend......Hugs...Lisa



Lake Mary, AZ

My husband and I took a little trip to Lake Mary, here in Flagstaff, AZ. My Mom and Grandmother joined us on our little fishing adventure.....

When you arrive at Lake Mary you usually stop in at the General Store and stock up on all your fishing needs.....Out front of the store is a cute little garden, tended too by the owners wife.....


The weather at Lake Mary was beautiful....


White poof clouds....


We saw a mom and baby Eagle....They were amazing to watch....


Below are the Gr-mas sitting on a bench, weaving....It was a treat having them join us....




As my husband was fishing , I sat next to him working on one of my projects.....

You can see the Lucy purse that I crochet ....I just love carrying my yarn stash around in it and I have already had two request for one, so it appears that I will be making a couple for Christmas gifts...

Well, upon our second day of camping....

things took a change of pace...and started getting dark....I got the look from my husband....

and it was the "get off the lake look".....and WOW....the lighting started big time.....


And then the hail started....there was tons.....the size of marbles.....lol...then heavy rain....


then more hail.....O, dang....a big puddle started under his tent...



Well, since we were not far from home and the lighting was really bad...we decided to pack up and head for home...


By the time we were back on the road, it looked like it had snowed..:)
