Lazy dogs

This is Charlie and Neopolian. They were basking in the sun on a pile of leaves. Life just doesn't get any better...unless of course there is a treat involved.

The lighting is horrible on that one. I took these pictures in the craft loft and light pours in from behind the quilt not to mention you can see the mess from sewing.

Civil War Quilt

Once again in the Moda Bake shop, I found a pattern. well I had three charm packs and had some rustic red solid and kinda followed the pattern. LOL. I added some wider separating stripes vertically to make it longer to snuggle under so it would cover your feet.The colors go with the log house we live in so there you go. Hubby likes it.Guess I will have to quilt it.

Speaking of Birds...

I have taken a liking to birds. Not sure what that is about but anyway...I went to Kirklands today and found the cutest fattest blue bird that matching my den. I also got a few fat little birds to sit around as well. When I got home, hubby made a shelf in the corner about 4 feet up from my chair and I added a little spanish moss and voila!!

Birds

I could not wait to share my birds with you but everytime I would click the camera they would be gone. They were faster than my shutter sound. I was so proud. We have all colors and sizes from a tiny finch to a big woodpecker that is visiting. I waiting patiently on the porch and zoomed in and then snap they flew. Maybe one day when it warms a bit I can stay a little longer . But one more squirrel visit and we are going to move the feeder a little further from the tree trunk. They bring their whole extended families back when the come. LOL

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.
