Memorial Day A Day To Remember

Memorial Day a time to reflect on the sacrifices and the continuing services of today's men and women in the armed forces. May we be ever thankful for those who sought bravely to keep this country free and safe and may never take for granted the ultimate price so many have paid.

May each of you have a joyous Memorial day and be sure to take a moment and reflect on those who are still endeavoring to fight for the freedom we enjoy today!

Back to my splash practice and ball play.....Fun stuff! And, more fun stuff...referring to number three things about me...what did I mean..can't wait to go camping!!? Looks like I am already out in my camp tent!

Oh yeah, I'm happy!

And, oh yeah....just kidding...we're playing around, testing things out...didn't really go anywhere, as one of my hoomans is not feeling well and it took lots of convincing to JUST STAY HOME and GET BETTER!

And, did a little practicing for the neat, June 10 Bandana Day hosted by The Portuguese Water Blog pals! Must wear at all times..... Even when inspecting bugs in my waters...

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend friends!

Star of Texas Rug Camp A Few More Rugs!

Thought I would share with you a few more of the rugs from Star of Texas Rug Camp and the throw down. Enjoy....














Sally came all the way from Canada to attend camp. She set next to me and was in Kris Miller's class. I sure enjoyed visiting with her.

Now for the throw down....some of the rugs being worked on during the camp.

Making Hay While The Sun Shines

Got me a new hat this year...my old one had seen better days.



Too hot for boots so might as well work on my tan :) the flip flops didn't last too long before I traded them in for tennis shoes.



Danny had the tractor with the radio, AC, and the cab....hmmmm!!!! I had the one with the sunshine, bugs, and fresh air!



Those rows seem to be getting longer and longer.



Here I am trying my best to keep the rows straight...not an easy task when your getting very sleepy!



There goes Danny again....probably sipping tea, singing a song, and hoping he doesn't have more problems with the baler!



Farm living is the life for me. Land spreading out, so far and wide. Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

Flannel Rag Quilt

Finally sharing photos of this beautiful flannel quilt. This one is not mine, it is one my sister made for her oldest grandson. It was for his high school graduation last year. Didn't the quilt turn out just wonderful! If I remember right the fabrics were cut 8x10 inches and there is a layer of flannel inside for "batting".

Back of flannel rag quilt. I like the quilt so much that I've started cutting denims and flannels for a sofa size. Maybe I will get it finished in time to use this winter. LOL

More Hooked Rugs from Star Of Texas Camp

There were so many wonderful rugs at the Star of Texas Camp....just had to show you a few more. There are so many more still to be seen and then the "throw down" day of what everyone at camp was working on. Just so much inspiration.
