 hope you have a great week.

Here & Now

 

In my Shop

Today I will not worry about yesterday or worry about tomorrow...I will focus on Here & Now...Today I will find true joy in my life whether big or small. I will remember today and always that He loves me no matter what.. I have so much to be thankful for and so many gifts & blessings to count.

7. Knowing I don't have to pick petals off

a flower to tell me that He loves me.

8. How someone took the time to make

 all these wonderful afghans (gannies)

9. Hot cocoa with whipped cream and

colorful sprinkles on a chilly afternoon.

10. Old books...to read to my girl every night before bed.

11. Little things that remind me of my childhood. Like when my

Uncle got me my first Kewpie Doll when I was a young girl about ten.

12. For the Here & Now

Loving Rainy Days...

Been a little quiet around here...Sorry. We ended up with colds AGAIN. Feeling better now...eating better this past week and a half....and got exercise three times last week. WooHoo... On the road to better health in the new year. I have been hitting rock bottom with headaches, migraines, chronic tiredness....So I am making more efforts to getting well and hopefully stick to it without fail. Pray for me. Okay so here's my bedroom again. I just love my newly decorated room. I found a big colorful patchwork afganny thrifting for a few bucks...So had to put it on my bed of course. It's been raining this last week...Much needed rain I must say. Perfect kind of days for cuddling in a warm bed and ganny.
  
And though these days have been gloomy and rainy...My room is filled with happy colors...Mismatched vintage pillowcases and sheets and patchworks. colorful dolls, globes and embroideries on the walls...pictures, art and things that make me smile.
   
Here in Cali...We don't get much rain....But when we do...I enjoy it...Reminds me of  home in Washington. Now, I am off to cuddle down in my warm cozy bed. Have a wonderful week.

Oh My !!!!

I just had to share...
I went thrifting this weekend...well, really I needed to find more
 trims to add to the sowing box for a couple projects I have going on for the shop...
The best place to go is the Thrift Shops....Great deals are to found dirt cheap! So anyways,
 I am rummaging through the linens and such and passed.... or let's say I couldn't pass up the Ganny
 (An afghan we affectionionately call Ganny)
 I found. I have a couple Granny square afghans, one that
 my Gramma made years ago and now belongs to Freckles..
.And another Vintage one I found last Summer
 ( The Green & Pink one in the picture).
 So of course I had to bring this Ganny home.

This one is full of color with a black background...Love it!!!
And it was $4.00!!
I found the green and pink one for the same amount..YES!!!
It just doesn't get any better than that....

Now, I'm just waiting for a nice chilly night to use them...
(since it is way too warm here in Sunny Cali!)
So hopefully that will be soon....
For now their going to drape over the couch and chair...Cozy!!

What ever the weather...
 I hope you find a cozy ganny to curl up in !!!
 Have a great Sunday!!!

Time Spent....

The past several days Freckles has been ill with the flu.

After My son gave it me, 

I gave it to Mr. Darling who in return gave it to Freckles. 

It's a vicious circle.

For some reason it just seems harder on the little ones.

This flu had struck us with mega head aches, neck aches,

fever, pain throughout body, sore throats and coughing..... Nasty stuff.

Poor Freckles has been running a fever today. 

It makes me sad to see her so sick.

  Her Time was spent on her bed reading a bit.

I captured these photos of her on her pretty bed, 

sitting on an older Ganny my Grandmother made when I was younger.

It is perfect in Freckles room. The roses so sweet!

My dear Freckles loves her bed room and bed which

is adorned with some vintage fabrics...

An old quilt that is quite tattered hangs on her wall... 

while vintage sheets make up her bed.

Perfectly cozy for her when shes under the weather.

I went to check on her a while later and the poor dear fell asleep.

Get well my sweet girl!!!

My beautiful Daisy Ganny.....

A sweet find while Thrifting!

Lucky me!

Her Patchwork Ganny Gann

Miss Freckles received this special
afghan for Christmas,
(affectionately called Ganny Gann)
from her Great Grandma.

Her Great Grandma knows what a spunky, happy girl she is,
so made this very colorful patchwork
ganny to match her personality.

She has been carrying it and cuddling
in it around the house ever since.
Great Grandma said that this may be
the last of the afghans she makes.
She made all of us afghans, plus several
others for family members.

Maybe she feels she is tiring out.
We are blessed to have them,
made by her hands and stitched with lots of love intended.

It will serve as a comfort to my
little girl ...

And, share with her sweet dreams
for many years to come.
