Geez THANKS SO much Kris!

As one travels the road of life, (hopefully it is a long one!) you realize the road is sometimes bumpy and often crooked but the trip along the way is scenic and beautiful, if you just look at all the beauty along the side of life's highway. Yippee! It is Spring! The birds are singing, flowers are beginning to bloom and all the weeds are going amuck! Listen to the birds, smell the flowers and pull all those weeds! Lots of damage by all the snow and ice this year, but that just makes an excuse to put in more plants!
Heard the little tree frogs start singing last evening so maybe warm weather will stay here for a while. Have those weeds calling and a new batch of papier mache pumpkins brewing best to get going and quit listening to those birds!

Oh Great! Thanks Cora--I have been tagged. Now I have to tell you five things about myself you may not know.

{1} I have been married for 47 years (yes to the same man)

{2} I have three grown children (1 Girl, 2 Boys)

{3} I have seven gorgeous Grandchildren

{4} I have Creative Insanity (It runs rampant in my family!)

{5} I am a terrible housekeeper! ( Due to Creative Insanity!)

{6} Here's an extra one for ya:

I have a cat that has been on chemo for 6 years (He doesn't even know it and looks and acts perfectly normal!--if there is noormal for a Tonkinese)

This is Emperor Ming!

OK, I am now off to tag 5 more lucky souls.

That rainbow was definitely a sign. Last night a welcome call came with really good news we have all been waiting for in this family. Prayers really do get answered. Have many projects going all at once (as usual!) Really need to get going and finish a few. The sunshine on the deck is calling and so are my poor roses who have really had a hard winter. Here's a photo of Max, the newest member of the Motherlode Mice. I have been drafting and copyrighting their patterns. See..... Spring is really coming!!

At last Spring is on it's way here. This incredible rainbow is sure to be a sign. Last week snow was falling and I thought we were in for more nasty weather.
I'm busy drafting more patterns and trying to get them copyrighted and listed soon. Thanks so much to all the wonderful friends at "Old Farmhouse Gathering" @etsy.com for getting me started blogging.
