The best gifts are Homemade

Good afternoon,

I have a day off so I have been pretty productive today. My laundry is done and put away, the roast is in the oven, my plants are happy because they are taking in the beautiful sunshine and I get to do some crafting. In my next few blogs I will be posting some pictures of items I am making with yo yos. Today I am showing you some baby socks with yo yos as decorations. I think they are cute. Thinking I might send a pair to Katy. She recently had a baby girl. If you have any ideas about what I could put yo yos on, please leave a comment. I am looking for a shop that takes homemade items on consignment or buys them outright and resells them. I would prefer that the store be within a 25 mile radius of Kansas City. So if you know of any places like that please let me know by leaving a comment. I also took a picture of the Asian Lillies that are in bloom in my back yard. The yellow flowers are beautiful. I hope all of you are having a wonderful day. I will leave you with these words: Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift.

Until next time,

Heart To Heart II

Wanted to show you a project I just completed. They are hearts embroidered with the word LOVE. I used muslin, embroidery thread in cream and brown, buttons and satin flowers. I thought they would be great decorations on presents, or as a gift to someone you love like your mom, daughter, grand daughter, or a friend. It was an easy project and I enjoyed making them. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Dave and I visited the graves of my Father, and of my Aunt Irene along with other relatives in Richmond during the Memorial Day weekend. We also visited the graves of Dave's Mother and Sister. It is always a time of reflection for me. I like to remember the person and keep them close to my heart. I hope that you had a nice holiday and were able to visit your loved ones that have moved on to a grander place.

I will leave you with this : THE SKY IS THE LIMIT WHEN YOUR HEART IS IN IT !!!!

Good night,

Hi to everyone,

I am glad you have found my blog spot. The picture above is the Clematis in my front yard

by our sitting bench. It is beautiful this year. So many blooms and the blooms are huge.

The next picture is of one of the blooms. Aren't they beautiful ?
