Here's a funny story about cherry trees. Before we moved to Kentucky, I had always canned but mostly it was green beans, tomatoes, corn, potatoes - just the typical garden produce and that was when I lived in Louisiana. My grandma had peach and pear trees but she always made the jam and preserves for all of us. We moved to Kentucky and there was a big orchard, Reid's Orchard, just a couple of ...
Funny Little Cooper
Cooper is full of energy and mischief but he's the sweetest little dog. I've never had one that was this sweet. He loves to snuggle and be as close to us as he can get. He had been sitting with Vince is his chair in the evenings. I think he and Oscar like the reclining sofa and Cooper has moved over and he and Oscar sleep on the leg part of the sofa while I'm stitching. Last night Cooper ...
Prairie Life Sampler Progress
Here's where I left off Monday night: This is where I stopped last night. I love all the different greens in the trees. I think I had left off Monday night at 8.6%. Now I'm at 13%!

And, it was quicker ...

I worked on it a couple of times afterwards but not enough to write a blog post. Here's where I stopped last night. According to the Markup app, which I'm now using for pretty much every project, ...

Changing projects often I find myself spending more time searching for what I plan to work on next or figuring out where I want to start stitching. Even though I feel like I'm somewhat organized with my stitching plans, yesterday was a day of chaos. I ...
Leap Day/Year Project
The Summer Schoolhouse project (it's out of stock now and I don't know if they are getting more in stock but other places may have it) is the Leap Day/Year project that several of us are working on. Denise has written several posts about her progress. She started on the far right side. I started on the far left side. Here's my progress. I'm happy with the progress I made. This one will get ...
