My back yard

Many days I walk to the back door and this is what I see. Throughbreed horses. What a great back yard!

We also put up the Gazbo and added some lights.

Taking out time to make Robes and PJ's

Well a few months ago I told the parents of my grandchildren that I would be making Robes and PJ's for all of them. I actual started back in August, before we got the mobile home, so I had to take a break from working on the house to sewing. Here are the ones I have completed.

Ian's will be Cowboys.

Max gets a sports print with grey sweatshirt pj's.

Max's Robe I even made labels for each one of them.

TRASH TO TREASURY

Front moulding for shelves.

I picked this up a while ago at a mobile home surplus store. They were used in Clayton Homes a few years ago to make built in intertainment center. I was in desperate need of some shelves in the living room to display my pictures and nick nacks. There is not a fire place in the living room. We eventually want to get a flat screen tv so I looked a furniture stores and thrift shops, goodwill and salvation army, but couldn't afford the furniture stores and couldn't find anything I liked at the other places. I bought this for $20 each. I decide on the design and had Byron help me with the work. I made the shelves so they are movable. I will add another piece across the top and we will get at new stand eventally. For now I am using an old stero, record player that really works for the tv stand. I painted it black to match the shelves.

Finished for now!

Byron's Birthday Party

Byron's Birthday The kids got to come over and stay the night on Grandaddy's birthday. We also decorated the Christmas Tree. Will Ian did most of it Raven and I were tired. We finidhed up at 11:00pm. I started a new tradition this year of putting fake snow of the tree. They had a Great time throwing the snow on the tree.





Raven started the snow fight but Ian got into the act too.
