Welcome

Welcome!

This is my very first post and I'm sure I will get better at this as time goes by.  My sister Lonna,  who has always inspired my creativity, suggested I start a blog so here I go!

Ever since  I was small  I have loved working with my hands.. cross stitch, baking, needlepoint and primitive rug hooking.

I retired from nursing and am really enjoying learning new things at home here.  Husband and I put in a nice raised bed garden and are really getting into birds!  The previous owner had  left 2 bird houses and this spring I started watching the birds and their nest building....well this lead  of course! to feeding the birds.... and fighting the squirrels....who try to eat the bird food!!  After $$$$ spent on squirrel baffles and 7 foot bird feeder poles  we think we got it!

I am currently working on a primitive Americana doll designed by Stitchinsewprims.  This is my first attempt at dolls and so far I really am enjoying it.  I just got over pneumonia and my energy level is starting to return to normal so she should be finished by the end of the week.

Well, I'm not sure how to add more photos to this blog thing because I'd like to post my hooked rugs....I'll wait til "big sis" gets this blog and helps me out on it!
