Noweven when I put the crazy letters in it still sends me to another page to fill in all my google info


Blogging is my out let to visit my blogging friends.
Is blogger doing this to everyones blogs or is everyone changing it. I do have mine set where I have to approve them but it is because I get to much spam and Cora even found a virus in my comments and told me about it.
I thought blogging was supposed to be fun and not so many hurdles to jump over
Now on to the rest of my post..not all doom and gloom :) When I was in Chicago visiting Nellie I saw this sign and it really got my curiosity up..does it mean that only seniors can cross here or is it just a safe place for us to cross...what do you think it means?
I had some donuts on one plate and some steakk already cooked on another plate and decided to put them in the oven to keep my sweet little Maggie from eating them..this is what happens when you forget to check the oven before turning it on.
Had to take hot pads and remove the racks to the kitchen sink. I was lucky that when it cooled off it just peeled right off. A lesson learned..next time i will put things like this in the fridge or microwave :)
The bigger town of Shelbyville,IL has hand painted murals all over town and I just love looking at them..this one was on the wall near parking lot at Dr's office
This one really amazed me since you would swear it is actually rhe paper boy..even have the shadow there. One of these days when it isn't in the 90's we are going to take a ride and take a lot of pictures of all the interesting sights in town. I will be sharing them with all my blogger friends.
I have been painting some of my own fabric as some of you may know and I made this pin keep with some of my own designed fabric. I have 3 more of these started and hope to finish them soon. I think the hardest part is adding all the embellishments. I am going to try and put a belt on her with some gold ribbon and maybe a fancy button. I might list them on ebay when they are finished

Anyone that knows me of course knows that Nellie is my Daughter. Well...she is kind of outspoken and has an attitude some times (I don't know where she got that from) but I hand painted this fabric with leaves all over it and then wrote "Leave Me Alone" on it and I think it fits her to a "T"
I met a girl on FB and we became friends because her maiden name was the same as my married name..she ordered some framed signs from me and when we started talking about our fur babies she asked me to make something with a pic of their dog..this turned out kind of cute I think ...It says "Yukon" Daddys Boy (that is what he is :)
I made and framed this pic with her married name on it
... she is also a train lover (like I am) and I made her this sign that says "Huggins Haven" My friend Gayle had a lot of input on this and she found the picture and put the writing on both signs for me and also the writing under Yukons picture. I did print them and did some embellishing. It was nice to know that she gave them to her husband for anniversary gift and I got a personal phone call from him telling me how much he liked everything (especially his 4 legged best friend) and it was a nice feeling to know that someone appreciates your hard work.
If anyone would be interested in having something special made for themself or a friend or loved one please let me know and I will work hard (and Gayle too) to come up with something you will love too. Really hard to see what this really looks like..not a good picture and am using my cell to take pictures until I find someone to fix my camera software on computer
We had a garage sale this past week end and it really wore Billy and I both out..we live very rural but it wasn't to bad..sold a little over 100.00 (and of course some is already spent for milk and bread etc).

I still have some big items left so will run it 1 more time this Sat and reduce some prices and keep our fingers crossed.
Trying to come up with enough $ to put up a fence for my fur babies..no more chaining them out. I will be having some good sales in my blog and on ebay to come up with the rest of the money to start buying supplies.
Have been working on some OOAK prim items for the past 2 days
I don't know about anyone else but our garden is shot. Billys tiller quit so he has been mowing between the rows and then gets down on his knees in this heat and trys to weed around the bottom of every plant...first it was too much rain and now heat factor over 100 degrees every day and will stay that way for a while
You can see where he has the string up for the peas to climb up and they were doing real good but now the bottom of the plants are turning brown..Burnt up from the heat
We just might get some cucumbers if the heat doesn't cook them too.

Have invested over 100.00 in garden and have 1 tomato and 5 cherry tomatoes so far
We may try a few more tomatoe plants next year but no more big garden..Too much work and money to do it again. Will be looking for a nice size farmers market soon.
