It’s a girl!

Posted on January 26, 2012 by maryjane

Only a few moments after her birth, and still wet, meet our new little Etta Jane. Mom, Maizy, and daughter, Etta Jane, are in fine shape. (We’re a little tired.) Born 2:45 a.m. today/43.5 lbs. Maizy’s first birth.

    Isn’t that just amazing?!? Congratulations to Maizy and your family, as well.

    Oh how cute! Congrats on the new baby calf. I’d love to pick her up and snuggle her. 🙂

    Awe Struck, Inspiring Breathless and Gorgeous are a few words that come to mind looking at that view. Someone hurry up and grab my hankerchief…..I’m drooling all over my keyboard! Visiting your B&B is on my bucket list without a doubt- I promise myself I will get there before I turn 50!

Not your father’s duct tape.

Posted on January 12, 2012 by maryjane

Has anyone else seen this new brand of duct tape? I haven’t opened it yet but love the tag line.

    I’m going to look for some of this stuff–maybe even in various colors. It’s getting close to time for winter sewing.

    My mistake! Your post on Facebook with this link said something about working with Sugar n Cream so I thought it was a project. I must have misinterpreted it.

    I would love to have a pattern, it pretty. Looks kind of like granny square.

    For the ladies who want the pattern you would have to look for several to get the items from this shot, the sugar and cream yarn is available tho at your local yarn shop and it is not the yarn used to make these lovely crocheted items in the shot. The sugar and cream yarn makes wonderful dish cloths for the kitchen. You may have to look in an old afghan book or two to find the patterns for these lovelys.

    If the items in the photo are clothing, what are they? Dresses or? something else. I would love to see a photo of them being worn. They must be beautiful. Crochet wedding dress?
