There Is Nothing Like it!

I know everyone must be tired of my camping stories that begin with "Here is our new camper!". But seeing as we have traded up again, here it is. We were finding that our Surveyor was just a bit too small if we got stuck indoors due to the weather and we got a great deal on the new one. We took it out for the inaugural trip a couple of weeks ago. Where did we go? Can't you guess? North Ga! It is one of our favorite places. And if you ask the locals everyone there is from Florida. I just wanted to share a few pictures and write a few words about the wonderful time we had.

A Wonderful Friend!

I have a couple of wonderful friends. I know some of you are saying "She has a friend?". Yes more than one in fact. But recently. I received this wonderful gift. The hand quilting hoop and stand. Thank you, Wade and Margaret for thinking about me. Wade found this at a garage sale and brought it to me. As you can see I am back at it.

I won't even try apologize for my long absence, but just sum it up in one word, LIFE.

It Has Been A Long Time!

I have had so many things happen in the last few months.     The holidays were a blur.    So many good times with family and friends.   So much food, so many things to buy & do.    I was not up to blogging and getting all of the other things done.   

I barely took any photos of the happy occasions.  

In Loving Memory

 My son and a friend of his made this fabulous wood mural for my birthday.     The photo does not do it justice and it makes me smile everytime I walk into my living room.    My maiden name is Peacock and it say "In Loving Memory of Art & Jenny"  (My mom and dad) both of whom have passed away. 

Getting this was just one of the highlights of my holidays.   

Just when I thought life was settling down, I had some health problems come up, and some family issues come to a head.     I am still working through those, but know that I need to get back to putting my thoughts out there.    

Hopefully I will get back to some regular posting and picture taking.     I have missed it and all of my friends out in blog land.   

It feels good to be back.

My New Obsession!

A few months ago I saw a beaded Chatelaine and knew that I wanted one, but didn't want to spend the big bucks they were asking.    So I set out to get the skills to make my own.   I have been attending a small group at my church twice a month learning to bead.    I think it is my new obsession.   Just what I needed, another expensive hobby.

Here are a couple of the items I have completed.

I like beading because you can complete something in one sitting.   I am beginning work on my chatelaine. I will post a photo when I get it done.
