Kitchen

I love this little wooden cabinet. This was obtained from Chapman Kansas about one week before the huge tornado hit that just about destroyed and devastated that entire town. I feel fortunate to have a bit of history from that town as so many lost their treasures there. My Dad made that pierced tin candle holder a few years back. It is made from an old olive oil can. My dad has Parkinson's disease and is now 81 and can't handle tools anymore, and even this one was done when his disease was at it's worst. So I treasure this also. It does look beautiful with a lit candle in it.

sweetie pie Jake

Here is Jake with his Holiday antlers. I was so amazed because last year he jumped around and tried to get them off. This year, he sat so still and really listened to me. Maybe he is finally not being so stubborn, or maybe he was just really embarrassed and hoping to get this over with.

adding to my favorite room

I have added a few more things to my office/craft room. This room seems to be my favorite room of the house and I do spend alot of my free time here. I have added a few things to my desk/work space......... one of my favorite things is my pumpkin oil painting done by a good friend. There's also a sugar skull in there for remembrance of Day of the Dead celebration and a Kachina and feather. It has so many subjects that I love, it was a wonderful wedding present, so happy that it has a new place here in my favorite room!

Christmas Tree

I put up my mini Christmas tree yesterday...... I love all of my ornaments, as they all are gifts. There is my chocolate lab "jake" ornie, my good luck pickle, and fish........ and many more.

wand and mini rattle

I made a co-ordinating meditation wand and mini rattle. Just finished the rattle tonight. I really enjoy beading, it is so relaxing and it centers me.

Luigi

Luigi is the newest member in my cozy house. He was dumped off at my parents home, left out in the cold to fend for himself. Mom started to feed him and we all fell in love with him. He is the biggest mush ever! He went to the vet's today and was given a clean bill of health. He will be neutered weds.

The Rock

I have had this rock just about my whole life. It has traveled with me to all of my homes. It IS my favorite rock. I remember finding it when I was about 4 or five years old on a walk with my Mom. She would always take me out and we would spend the day walking in the woods or fields around our home and I would always come home with handfuls of sticks, stones, acorns, feathers and other things. I haven't changed in 50 years!
