We missed Farmer's Market

And the bunny even looks like Bopper.

Farmer's Market BOM

I don't grow many carrots that size though.  :)

And since we only have a very few kits for Farmer's Market left I put it on sale for 25% off.

He's such a nice bunny.  

A new member of the animal family at the farm

This is our new friend Bopper.  

We showed you a picture of Quinn holding him so you would get an idea of his size.  

He's a really big boy.

He's also very soft and cuddly.  And he likes to be held - sometimes.

Sometimes he wants to run and play.

He's living in the baby chicken's brooder house since they grown enough to live in the big chicken house.

He seems to really like it here.

He was a house bunny for awhile at Kelly's but he like to nibble on electrical cords so he came to live at the farm for safety reasons.

His safety and everyone else's.

And so their phones could charge  :)

He's not afraid of dogs.

Anyway, to celebrate his arrival we're putting all the books and patterns that have bunnies in them on sale for half price for a week.  

We think we found them all but if you find one we missed one let us know and we'll give  it to you for half price too.

I'd better hop along now and start getting out my 4th of July quilts.

The years just seem to fly by lately.

Have a good week ladies.

We're at home and we've been busy.

D-Day

June 6, 1944

Pep and I watched hours of shows on the massive undertaking that freed Europe from Hitler's Germany.  It was the largest amphibian landing in history and was awe-inspiring.

Which inspired me to design this little kit.

It will come out later as a pattern.

Let Freedom Ring

28" x 28"

You can order a kit by clicking here

Or you can just look at it :).

Have a good weekend ladies.

I'm staying at home and one set of grandkids is due.

No Phillipines  :)
Lots of love and stitching.

My, Oh My, Oh My - and We're NOT in the Phillipines

No - we're Not in the Phillipines, we haven't been mugged or robbed and please do NOT send money to those scam people.  We are at home and just fine.  

We've also changed the password on our yahoo account.

And speaking of emails, somehow half of our list of subscribers got erased at Mail Chimp.  So we're doing a refer a friend and you both get a free pattern (excluding BOMs).  And I think you get a 10% off coupon if you just sign up so you can keep up on our specials.

Anyway -

back at home we've been busy.

Grandkids (Gabriel, Lilly  

and Brooke

always like playing with the baby chickens.

Zoie even takes her favorite chicken for walks.  The chicken loves it and comes running when Zoie walks into the chicken yard.

Quinn and Cullen are here every other weekend and are either on the computer or x-box or cooking.

And speaking of cooking - this is my husbands new range.  It's his birthday, Father's Day and probably Christmas present from his kids and me - maybe for a year or two :).  

When we built the house years ago we had a built in oven and cooktop that was just fine.  We've had to replace the oven twice and now the ovens that fit in the hole have so much insulation in them that they won't take his roaster or his half/sheet pans.  My - he would get soooooo frustrated.

Luckily the day it got here Jake was having a campout with a lot of his friends.  Here's the brawn it took to get it into the house - it weighs 1100 lbs 

- and here's the brains.

Of course the dogs have kept us busy.  Dobby decided to wear one of Jakes slippers for awhile.

And Spike likes to sit in the cat's water bowl by the chicken yard after our walks.

I actually have found time to do some quilting too.  

We were straightening the loft after the bout of sewing for Market (My quilts went even if I didn't) and we found a bunch of precuts and put them online in the store.  We have very limited numbers but we do have some.  To go look click here.

I've also started uploading my latest patterns and putting them in the store.  It takes a while with our internet but we'll get there.  

So far there's the Snowman Basket Wallhanging made out of my new Castlewood Fabric Line.  To order the pattern click on the words and to see the whole Castelwood line, click on the word or here.

Right now all of the grandkids are gone and it's really quiet for awhile.  Jake here is even at Boy's State for the week.

I miss them but it's kind of nice to just take care of the chickens and dogs and Pep and me for awhile. And of course the garden.

Lots more time to quilt though.

And I'm not in the Phillipines.

May moves along .......

The last of our Amarylis bloomed.  We had almost given up but when it bloomed it did it in style.

Zoie Pearl graduated from the 8th grade last week.  She is such a pretty (and smart) little girl - who just keeps getting bigger.  

She got awards for physical fitness and for reading - a very good combination.

Outside Grandma Laird's (Audra"s) iris are blooming

as well as Great Aunt Odell's Poppies.

And while it's a week earlier this year Memorial Day

helps us remember all of those who have come before us

and especially this who have served our country so well.

Have a good Memorial Day.

Hope you had a great Mother's Day

and have a good week.

And people, I know you all are anxious to get all of your goodies but just now (Mon. at 10:15) Tori got a call that there was a death in the family.  We'll get things to you as soon as we can.  Please say a little prayer for her.

Happy Mother's Day

We're having a Mother's Day Rummage Sale and all the items we put on sale last week are 75% off today only.

And I added Audra's Iris Garden BOM pattern for today.

When I went up to let the chickens out and walked past the garden the first of Grandma Laird's iris have started to bloom.  Pretty soon the garden will be breathtaking for a week of two.  I do so look forward to it every year.

Anyway, it was Pep's birthday yesterday so children and grandchildren have been visiting for both of us.

Right now, I'm off to church - then a short trip to Walmart (I hope) and back home for a leisurely afternoon (again - I hope).

Pep's making a lemon meringue pie and putting some chicken in the smoker for the afternoon so I get to sit and stitch.

It's also Quinn's birthday, so 

Happy Birthday Quinn.

Have a great day ladies.
