Picture of the great-room, it is off the kitchen and the family room and is a very tranquil place to sit and knit...and knit....and knit....oh, and watch the wildlife.

Here is a very small sampling of my fabric collection. It used to be called a 'stash' but it has long since outgrown that...I confess...I am a Fabric Collector, not, a fabriholic!! I collect beautiful fabrics like some people collect Art or books or stamps or whatever. I am a connoisseur...NOT a hoarder!!

Summer is winding down and already some trees and bushes are turning colour...but this is a shot from the top of our stream and it's still running like crazy and looking beautiful.

Okay, so I was thinking of painting one wall in my sewing room this kind of light teal colour,
and some fabric I had ordered on line arrived and I fell in love with it so I pinned it up on the wall, and, decided I wanted that fabric on the wall instead of painting it, so Mark built a frame for me and we stretched the fabric around it and stapled it in the back and I LOVE IT!

Rylee sure finds something funny...I'm quite sure WE will find something NOT funny somewhere later on! She is wearing a little skirt and top I made for her and I crocheted the bag for her to carry her 'stuff' in to church.

This is Nautica's 'Chucky Face' as her parents call it...it usually precedes an unpleasant situation wherein Nautica thinks someone has done her wrong...it is hysterical...she is such a quiet and demure little sweetheart usually...and oh so cute.

Something is going on here...these two are trouble when they get together..
I don't know if they are laughing about something they already did...or, sharing a secret about what they are going to do???
