Anyone who lives in PA,
this was and still is my all time favorite sewing shop!
Homespun is a rug hooking,punch needle, and other wonderful sewing supplies shop that I used to constantly go to whenever I was in need of something. The owner Kay is fantastic! Whenever you purchase a pattern or supply she is always there ready to help you in any way she can =)! 
Kay always has a wide selection of lovely fabrics,threads,hooks, and many other little goodies! Plus, she gives you a full,for-filling experience when you enter her store. 
I would strongly suggest this store to any stitcher/hooker that is looking for a primitive place to stop!

Planting, Planting, Planting! 

Here in Minnesota we have been getting 80 degree days, and you know what that means!

GARDENING TIME!!!!!!

Over the last few days I've seen this whole yard really take shape~





Moms tiered stone garden is looking beautiful!



My Fairy/Elf garden is also coming along nicely~ 



Our newest addition is doing great as well!
~A little Sour Cherry Tree~



Of course as mom and I are working hardly outside, our "fierce" guard dog is watching the house and enjoying the breeze LOL!




At the end of our long work days we sit on the deck with a nice glass of ice tea enjoy our hard work!

Good Morning!!


What lovely weather we have this morning!
The sun is shining, there's a cool breeze, and this afternoon should be the perfect temp of 65!

As I was watering the flowers this morning I noticed that our Bleeding Heart and Dutchmans Breeches were blooming!

~Lovely weather~

Good morning my friends!
As of late we have been doing all sorts of gardening.
From veggies, to beautiful flower, even to the weeds,
we have been doing it all!

The results are well worth it though =) 


~My elf garden is coming along nicely~



The Veggie garden is also a step closer to being finished!
We planted Onions, Strawberry's, and Lettuce!



~I also found this little cutie coming up by our mail box~



I can't get over how beautiful the Spring Beauty is this year,
so tiny yet so pretty!!

Very Blustery weather!

The last few days have been windy,cold,wet,rainy and I even dare say I saw snow falling this morning for a time~
Of course that makes for perfect stitching weather!
But, sadly it makes it hard to finish making our new gardens~


Here is our latest progress:

Good morning!

I had the most interesting guests this morning!

The pair of Mallard ducks (Minnie and Sota), came for a visit this morning as I was eating some breakfast!



They landed in our yard then waddled their way down our street~ 


Also..once more I've spent my morning outside preparing our gardens for summer =) 

The progress is that I've made a HUGE mess of the yard.. LOL! 
What will be my garden is close to being finished~


This was an extended part of a concrete patio that we decided to take out and turn into flower beds~
But, as you can see we are having no shortage of sand that was under it LOL! 


This is after I got all the stone and most of the stone out. Then, mixed in some good ol' dirt!
I hope to have this garden finished soon so I can resume work on the veggie garden =) 


Thank you for reading and please checking back soon for more updates!
