Aggie Burp & Bib Set

A very special little Aggie named Reid was born recently. He had a difficult time during his arrival and first few days but Praise God he made it and is doing quite well. I thought he needed a very special burp cloth and bib for his feedings so I went on a hunt to find Aggie fabric. Luckily, I did not have to go far, I found some at Happiness is... Quilting in downtown McKinney. Sending this to a friend of a friend. Thanks for stopping by.

Halloween Witch Dish Towel

Here is a dishtowel I embroidered. I purchased these and added only the embroidery, I thought about duplicating them but figured it out was more cost effective to buy them already made. . I made nearly 15 of these for teacher gifts, friend gifts and even sold a couple.

Backyard Evolution Continues

The evolution in our back yard continues... A few weeks ago I showed the flower bed in front of the retaining wall. You can see that post here. Those pictures showed the back fence down (a spring storm blew a panel down). Rather than repair the fence, my hubby decided we needed to replace it. So, here it is after the first board was on...
Not real fond of that giant house behind us but that growth and expansion for ya! I personally preferred the big trees and cow pasture.

Drum roll please... Ta Da!

The second board is up and it's stained.

The grass behind the retaining wall and in front of the fence took a beating during the construction project. That will be the next project!

This is my favorite picture because it makes our "Charlie Brown" tree look BIG and majestic!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this post encourages you to start a big project in your back yard. This is proof, an elephant CAN BE eaten, one bite at a time.
