Peggys ,Needle punch

My granddaughter is getting married.
She asked me to bake the cake for bride and groom.
Remember I not a baker "I said are you Nuts" " she said No"
I make a box cake put nuts and chips in it. when its done poke holes in it pour in them sweet can milk
She love it and eats a the whole thing in a week end
So here is my first try

I went to a craft show  this week end
I talked to a gal that has a baker and told me some tricks
Maybe I can get it right
I need to have some friends over
So I do not eat it all, I like it too.
My projects I finished, I have the tool to make flowers pedals and the pom pom so fun.
Vintage pins I used to pin  the ginger man  to a pillow,  I made pillow and  added a few things


My friend called me, thought she asked to take her to the store to get some things for her door ,she live  in a asserted living home. I said yes.
I was not right . She had things  she wanted to use.   she wanted me to do it. So the light , in the garland did not work messed with them.  
I left to go to the store get extension cords , fixed that.
She also wanted  a tree by the door .
Had a another tree with two set of lights on it so off they came ,
Went to use  I always check to see if they work .One set was out. Used one set worked  sure needed more
I sat her small Vignettes of Santa's to fill the spot in place of lights
Put a wreath  at the top put ornaments on it  to fill the holes, she had a big bow added the bow.
It was really was a fun day, She loved it  and said she was so glad it was done Peggy has not been felling good so made me fell good it helped her





Does any one know of days that you post a special things ?
Like Pink Saturday ,Blue Monday



Hope you enjoyed your visit

I have had many years
The dome is from Mexico
Sometime in the 70'
The glass figure.
My husband work in research
and they had a glass blower
he made it.
Box of memories







 A few things from in the dome Some from when I was young
Bracelet blue from grade school , tennis pin ( my trophy from tennis match )
Ceramic dolls from a Great Aunt ,
Key ring of a tupperware bowl.
Blue pill box.
Two wooden peg dolls ,  Big one from a auction 
Small one My uncle was from Denmark.
His family had a farm over there .
The family sold it ,So from his share of money,
He could not take the money out of Denmark.
That's how I received  the doll.
My age was about 3-4years old.
 My mother saved it in her top drown of the dresser.
I saw my cousin daughter of the uncle.
Told here I would send it her for granddaughter


Love when I know someone read this.

In memory



My Sister Lois Ann 


In memory of my sister .....
She left us  last week.
She was the last sister older than me.
She was 82.
She had a stoke.
Very much a surprise.
 A wonderful way to  leave.
 I talked  to her about it.  
 She was okay with leaving.
Her kids sent her off. Very nice.  The way she liked things.
She always liked things to match.  Her earrings and all her outfit matching. 
Very classy.
  They did that for her.
Flowers were mostly Roses... She loved Roses!!!
 Arraignments were put in a roaster and a bread pan she used all the time.
Like her, very creative.
She was married to a man that was a large farmer.
She worked hard. 
She had a nice comfortable life.
I loved her dearly.

These flowers where painted on my bathroom door 
 Roses
