TEXAN: What I have been doing...

What I have been doing...

Busy as usual, but I am still here.
Lets see since I last posted...
The onions appear to have survived our single digit wind chills, not all but a lot of them!
I upholstered my first pieces all by myself at the shop, two cornice boards that will be going in my sewing room at home. I will show them to you guys soon! I will be doing some furniture pieces next! Two chairs and ottomans that belong to us! They are in our living room... I am very excited about learning upholstery!
My drapery table is almost complete in my sewing room at home. Finally my upholstery staple gun arrived so we could put the cover on the table!

Thats what has gone on here... its been super cold for our area as many areas have experienced, nasty, and just yuck outside... so my outside time has been nearly none.. sighhhh

Oh and one more thing, I turned 50 years old on the 8th of January.... ya the big 50.. hard to believe in a way.

Happy 50th Birthday!!!! You're only as old as you feel, so let's see 29 and holding right :-)

Can't wait for my onions to come in. I may cover them with plastic for a couple of weeks just to keep them from freezing.; January 13, 2015 at 11:06 AM

Ozark Mountains, Arkansas

Its a place where the mountains whisper, the creeks and springs sing songs to your soul. The trees blow a breeze of pure contentment. Earth, wind, fire and water. All the elements of being. Mother nature and her sprites in all their glory live there. Once you have lived in these mountains, you may leave them for a time. You may move far, far away for many years, but they will never leave you. They will softly beckon to your soul...return, return home .... We are here as we have always been and always will be. Come home ...The Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, where I am from and where we will retire.
