Valentines village

I had souch fun making this valentines village for a farmgirl swap. Lovd them so much I wanted to keep them. But I didn't, I sent them.  Will post pictures of mine once I get them.

You're as cute as a button

I signed up for another maryjanes farmgirl swap. At first I was worried that I Had gotten in to deep. The challenge was to take a egg carton and transform it into a button box. The only requirement is that it had to have a valentines theme.
Of course my mind started wandering ,I wanted it to convey the valentines theme but wanted my swap partner to be able to keep it out all year to enjoy. Well, then as I was looking thru my craft supplies I found some truffle wrapers. Oh my, what's better than a box of buttons that look like a box of chocolates?

Mug rug and tea

Well, joining Maryjanes farmgirl connection has taught me many things in the past year. To include-What is a mug rug? Well I received one today from Marilyn in  Colorado. All I can say us wow. I love it.  Will be used and cherished.

Happy New Year

We decided since this was our last year to celebrate New Years in California that we would take our camp trailer out to the coast.  One Our of our sons and a few of his friends joined and in total there were 11 people,2 tents and 3camp trailers and a cabover camper. 4 amazing dogs, .7 crabing pots, 27 Crabs caught and 50 BBQ oysters.  Sunny weather and lots of fun.
Going to miss CAlifornia coastline,but we are so looking foward to living Idaho.

A Christmas vacation visit.

Every year over my Christmas vacation from work,we get our grandaughter for a few days. This year is especially special to us,as it is the last year in our home here in California. We move this spring to Idaho to live out our dream of having a hobby farm. Don't know how many Christmases we will get to have Autumn at our home for vacation after this. Hope we still get to have many visits still.
