Snow SNow SNOw and more SNOW..............wow we've got some serious snow. Kevin has been shoveling since early this morning and its almost noon....couple coffee breaks and that was it. He came in just in time to watch my knee go out in the kitchen and me buckle and cry because of the pain - I am hoping this can be resolved soon............

I am searching the internet for a craft to dive into - I have a million in the basement but am afraid to climb the steps too many times........

Zack had a very nice friend spend the night last night and he was disappointed that they did not have more time to play in the snow....

Kristen will attempt to go to Aaron and Cherie's this afternoon to go running with Cherie?

I would love to be going 100 MPH inside the house today but my knee will not cooperate so here I sit writing to you (most likely myself).....

Any ideas for a simple keep your hands busy craft? Let me know...thanks...Renee

hello friends! we are winding down the days at the shoppe - soon to be empty and lonely again. It is a lovely little apple house with a lot of character....maybe someone else will fall in love with it and be able to open it back up.

Kevin is waiting until we go to Amish country and get some wood to begin building again. He has completely depleted his stock. I have taken a break from crafting - but I have found some wonderful old sweaters for wool...woohoo........the thrift stores rock!!!! As soon as I finish at the shoppe I will be in full craft mode!!!!

The web-site is under construction.........it's just taking a long time........

Thinking about the consignment shoppe in Louisville again........well????????

Also thinking about doing craft shows?????????

Any suggestions or ideas????????

See ya soon!!!!!!

it's cold  and cozy here tonight.... the moon is hazy and the air is perfectly thin and crisp. Sometimes, although winter can  pose problems, the opposites of the seasons are cleansing to the earth and we should take this time to cleanse and prepare ourselves for the business summer brings. Yes it will be lovely to hear birds in the early morning but the sparkling of new fallen snow is beautiful too. I feel blessed to experience all these things. Our earth is amazing - our God is awesome and Life is Good!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello everyone!!!!

its cold and snowy here in Ohio but january is almost over and we will be one month closer to spring and summer. its always uplifting to receive the seed catalogs in the mail.

we are thinking about the garden = the pool = vacation and of course traveling the worlds longest yard sale - the 127 sale. I am totally excited about doing this sale. I am still doing my research to know where to start to  find the treasures I am looking for....

Anyone else doing the 127?

hello friends.....it's cold and clear here in Waynesburg.  This is the final week for our shoppe to be open so my feelings are bittersweet. I will be relieved to not burden my family financially any more but I so loved my shoppe. I became friends with my 35+ vendors and enjoyed interacting with our sweet customers. We will be going on line with our business....guess that is a sign of the times.

Being in the house more sure makes things happen - doesn't it????? We are making lots of changes (on a budget of course). I am very happy with our results. Our next venture? we are going to redo the kitchen to make it look more primitive. I love primitive decorating but I just can't sell my hubby on it......he likes more early American. We try to always meet half way but I want to win with the kitchen project...I am excited - can't wait! I will post pictures when we are done.....

Everyone try to keep warm and look forward to Valentines Day....ahhhhhh true love!!! teehee

Bye bye!

Hi everyone! I am listening to the wind blowing and wondering if perhaps the ground is being covered by snow. Kevin and I had a lovely anniversary dinner with our son Andrew and his girlfriend Ashley. I did not get to spend any time creating today and I can tell. Restless...... I have to work at the shoppe tomorrow - so that may not happen again........there is always hope though. I love keeping my hands busy and I love keeping my mind quiet.

Until next time - realize your blessings and be grateful!!!!!!!!!

hello from waynesburg ohio...the sun is actually shining and the temperature is above normal...wow.....if it is anything but snow I am happy. It's wonderful watching it from inside your home but when you have to travel in it...well it's not so great.

Tonight is the dinner to support boy scouts and then visiting with our buddies....no work tonight. No building - no sewing and just so good old fun!!!!          Talk to you all soon!
