Sewing again

Look what I made today! Scrabble pillows. I haven't been sewing for awhile because my sewing machine is old and has arthritis; and, sadly enough, this project was my sewing machines last project. It has officially bit the dust.
So, I wanted this project to be totally free and IT WAS! I used materials that I had around here and viola: scrabble pillows. I should post a beautiful tutorial with pictures and everything, but that probably won't happen. And if you don't know what 1 4 3 stands for, ask someone younger than you.

Help Me Decide

I love this picture. I want to put it on a canvas, but I can't decide which one I like the best. Help me decide.

The Piano

This piano was my grandma's grandma's piano. I wanted to take some pictures of it in an unusual place so my dad loaded it up onto the forklift and took it out to the middle lane on the farm. This was a lot of fun!

Where do you keep your piano?

Today's project involved a fork lift and a piano.

I'll show you those pictures soon. In the meantime, I'm afraid the photo below is a good indicator of our future. Laid back happy boys and a very dramatic girl. Luke and Sam are always asking, "Why is Blynn always crying?"

Missing Grandpa today

I am missing my Grandpa today. By living out on the farm and in their house, I am fully immersed in the life that he sacrificed to create for his family. I think about him everyday. I just finished reading the book he wrote my cousin, sister and I for the fifth time. Problem is, I can't put it down, so the world has to stop for the 8 hours it takes me to read it, and then the next 30 minutes to an hour I cry. Not nice calm tears, but the full blown sobbing crying. We are so lucky that he had the talent and discipline to write this book to us, as I definitely did not have time or interest in these things before the age of 10.

Keur-licious

I got a Keurig for Christmas and I don't know how I lived without it. Kind of like tivo.

Country living is so quiet....

Todd and Rusty spent two mornings outside looking up into the sky.

Have you ever seen something like that out YOUR bedroom window?


Country living is very very quiet, until the crop duster buzzes the field across the street for 2 days.

Rusty was outside to see all of it. When the pilot was finally done, he flew right over the driveway where Rusty was standing and tipped his wing to him. They probably don't usually have an audience. Rusty had a huge smile on his face.
