My new find from Wilmington ,NC

We took a day trip yesterday to get away and walk with the beautiful weather. I was so glad to see sunshine, not cold, rain, or snow for a change. I am so ready for spring. We went to a little shop where they do their own creations there in the store. Lots of whimsical and silly things. Found a totem of big beads, drift wood and a fish. Pottery type on a big piece of piling that came from a damages piling from hurricane. Anyway. Looks good with a wood fish I painted last summer. We always find neat things when we are out and about.

Breakfast

Hubby makes the BEST popovers. They are light, and hollow on the inside. He uses half wheat flour and half millet flour and then adds a little fine grated cheese on top sometimes. I took cool whip, blueberries and cinoman with a little splenda for a desert type. OMG the Best! This morning we filled with eggs/cheese and turkey bacon. Also tasty too!!

Owl Ornies

Well, I got this pattern off the net. Not sure exactly where now but could probably find it. I did a few changes and used some decorative stitching, added some sequins etc and here you go. This is a jump start on ornies for next year. I have started liking owls. Cute ones anyway. Last year, I was floating on a raft in the pool and a huge owl was perched in the tree above watching me. That was creepy!!

soap box derby

Hubby ran across his soap box derby cars. He has always been in scouts even being a scout leader. He and his son created these derby cars. I am so impressed. The bathtub has hot and cold spickets and a hand with a little rubber duckie. I love the hot dog too . The cheese one is ok ....the front says who cut the cheese. Not sure if any of these cars won so if any scouts would like to copy I can ask and get back to you. LOL

Quilt inspiration

Come on folks, as I was gazing out of the kitchen window.. I saw a quilt in the making. Hubby has cut down several old dead trees lately and one is stacked just to the side of the drive down the hill. Looks like a quilt or stacked candy or something. I think I will have to make another quilt maybe in brighter colors but to look like candy. What do you think?

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.

another view

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.
