We just got back from our camping trip to Manchester Beach, CA. We had a wonderful time, all the kids except Lee and Annette were able to make it. We rented 3 cabins and Lyle and Ilene set up a tent. There were 14 of us all together plus two dogs, we didn't bring Lillie and Honey , they don't do too well out in the wild. It was a lot of fun. Each couple was in charge of one meal and everyone brought snacks to share, so it turned out all we had to do was cook breakfast and the rest of the time just sit back and enjoy. It worked out so well we are going to celebrate Christmas the same way.

My oldest (Gino) and youngest (Cooper) grandsons

Oh so sweet Baby Cooper

Lukah and the redwoods, just breathtaking

swap spoiler

Marsha--no peeking

I'm in a swap for Christmas in July and thought I would show you what I made for my swap buddy. We are to put 6 items in a stocking. So here is my swap....

A handknit stocking, an ornament with felted eggs in a nest, a purse organizer, a tissue cozy, a matching cozy for other goodies in your handbag, a believe pin and a cd of the polar express.

Living in the country does have so many advantages and here are some pics to show you what I mean

a peacock on the neighbors roof

Our new family of doves, Momma and her 2 babies, Dad is somewhere aroung he never gets to far away. They moved out 2 days ago and look who moved in...

They remodeled a smidge before they moved in, a little fresh straw, I had just rinsed out the nest hoping to help to clean up a bit. This tree is just off our deck and about 6 feet away at eye level. We have been very lucky to see 8 families of doves raising their young.

And last but not least a Momma deer and her 2 babies.

How lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place

have a great week

I've been working on purse organizers and here are some pictures of the completed projects. I was able to get all that stuff plus there is room for plenty more.

Well, my birthday is on Tuesday and I'm going to be 53.

WOW!! when did that happen?

I can't believe that all 4 of my kids are now in their thirties and 4 grand kids.

Really where has the time gone and then I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and

THEN I believe I'm in my 50's.

it's time for a giveaway!!!!!

I'm going to try this again! Blogging it turns out is a love hate relationship.
Sometimes I love it and sometimes I hate it.

Okay enough of that!

Lets get to it:

I have this handbag (see picture) that I think is too cute to be sitting on

a shelf in my closet waiting to be purchased.

Sooooooo how about a giveaway of one of my handbags,

this bag is a beautiful hand knit and felted merino wool handbag. All my handbags are hand knit and felted by me. This bag is a dark chocolate brown with light mocha stripes with one cream colored felted flower embellished with three buttons. The overall dimensions of the bag is 8 inches long by 8 inches high by 3 inches deep. This bag is lightweight but sturdy and will last a lifetime. This is a sweet little bag to add to your collection.

Starting this very minute you need to leave a comment, and you will be entered in the giveaway. You will have till Thursday 21st at 11:59 p.m. (PST) to enter and I will pick the winner and post by noon on Saturday the 23rd. The handbag will be mailed out by the 1st of June.

Yes. I will accept international entries

about shipping,

I will pay for shipping but it will be the cheapest that I can find,

so don't be upset if it takes awhile to get to you.
