I’m feeling the LOVE today…..
I found this handsome little dude at the breakfast table very early this morning working intently to surprise me with a message for Valentine’s Day.

Hey out there in blogland and cyberspace…..is your name Kim, Kimberly, or any version thereof? Do you know anyone by the name of Kim who also happens to be a quilter?
My new blogging friend, Kim, from Kim’s Big Quilting Adventure, has initiated something really FUN and interesting. She’s collecting web and blog sites of quilters who share [...]

Have you ever noticed how God gives you HOPE when you need it the most?
This morning I wandered around a bit out back while taking out the dog. The yard and garden seemed bleak and barren; beat down by the harshness of winter. (You know, I really should have removed my “yard art” last fall.)
