My son's wood turned items

I have to take a picture of a bowl made of cocoa bolo wood my son made.. Here are a few of the fine birdhouses I am honored to own. I am so excited because a local TV person who does a segment called Tar Heel Traveler called him for an interview. He would be featured on the local news channel with him making his birdhouses and bowls etc.. since he is an artist from NC that someone thought he was good enough to recommend to be featured. I am so proud of him. He has been busy getting his work shop ready for filming and items in different stages so it can be shown. His work is truly craftsmanship. He also sells his work so feel free to message me and I will give you his email for info.

Christmas Quilts.

Here are a few tops I have done this year already. At Moda Bake shop I saw the pattern for fabulous 5... It is the easiest and quickest Quilt I have ever made. I absolutely love it. Of course I changed things around a bit but the ideas I had just made me go off on a tangent. Some of the detail does not show too well, like the embroidery I did over the trees and the "All hearts come home for Christmas" words that are on the snowman one and the presents one has ornaments hanging. Got the pattern for those from a Trader Joe's brown paper bag. LOL

Our Two Kitties

The first tuxedo kitty is Mr. Fat Cat. He is very sweet who has the attitude of Garfield. He can hear treat bags for a mile. The grey kitty who has lots of fur from being thick fur not fat...is Hootie. She is just a hoot. Sweet with

Yea!!!

I finally figured it out. Hope I remember what I did to post a few more. I want to post pics of our kitties and everyday things and a few quilts.. So it may take a day or two but hope to get to all of it soon.

Picture at profile

It must be me but I have tried to post a new profile picture about 20 times. I resized , and redid everything I know and have given up for now. So if by some chance lots of pictures miraculously appear, you know why. LOL

This was from my trip to Lookout late September with the NC Sail group. We had a great time.

I am back

I am finally to the point I can come back and share a bit. I know several folks were starting to follow me. Well, I am remarried. I have a wonderful story . Years ago when I was 16, I had a high school sweetheart. We fell in love, had a baby that we had to give up for adoption and then we broke up. Well, when that baby grew up he found me and we were reunited and had a relationship with both sides of his family. Anyway. his Dad and I had separate families and our own lives, which both had a lot of troubles. After 40 years we are now married and our lives have become full circle. I could not be happier. I have moved to a log home on a hill just on the edge of town. It is tricky in the snow but it is a beautiful place. So that is the challenges I have been trying to settle out. Now on to quilting and crafting. I have missed posting my creations. I haven't done a lot actually. I do have several quilt tops that I did and a few little other goodies. Hope to post the pictures soon. Take care and check back soon. Hugs Salliegayle
