Hello to my blogging friends! I'm sorry I have been MIA this summer. It has been busy and challenging to say the least. I have become so grateful for the many blessings I have been given. Personal hurdles had to be crossed this season that were not anticipated. I have come to realize when faced with siuation that is life changing, the little things we encounter become trivial and unimportant. With all that said and the hurdles crossed...I'm ready for to share some fun! The above picture is my "Garden Angel". She is way fun and I enjoy seeing her in the summer months.
4-H Milkshakes. Okay I spent a LOT of time in this building over the past few weeks between fair and tractor pull. We had a wonderful year, lots of laughs and raised $ for our 4-H program. Special thanks to everyone who helped us and purchased a yummy shake! You truly are not making milkshakes unless you are messy:)
I love sunflowers! Here is another one greeting me outside every morning. I'm a flower nut and can't wait to sit down at my sewing machine and try my hand at sketching this one with thread. This fall I will find myself cleaning out beds and starting some new colorful gardens.
Last week Rob and I took a day trip to the Greene County 4-H Quilt Square Trail in Ohio and searched for blocks. I so appreciate their support of our new trail and we enjoyed the day! Stay tuned...the Wood County 4-H Quilt Square Trail is coming together:) It is going to be an exciting year...15 blocks are spoken for so far:)
I had to also include Bruce. He is such a good dog and is always happy:) I am planning to do a portrait of him in the upcoming months so we have been taking lots of pictures lately.
In all of the Summer Happenings, I was blessed recently to be selected in Cloth, Paper, Scissors, Studios top 10 organizing your studios digital publication! What a surprize to have my sewing mat make this list! You can purchase this publication for download by clicking on the link. Did I mention the front page??? I am so blessed in many ways, most of all to have the most wonderful talented mother Rita who passed on her love of fabric and threads to me. Thanks Mom! I luv you!
Happy Summer, I have missed you all!
Jenna Louise
