Everything And the Kitchen Sink!

I think enough said!

Thursdays Treasure Find

This is a great idea I found somewhere on the net (sorry, can't remember where I found it), I plan to create this in my new back yard sometime after April. It looks simple enough, all I need is the bricks.

My Boys

I wanted to post about my son and grandson today. This is not a really recent photo, but it's close enough. the one who keeps changing is the little one. I sometimes can't believe he's in kindergarten already. The big one in the tree is my son, who's 13 already. We can't wait to get back to our town so we can see the little one more often. He is missed a lot.

Maniacal Monday

Or should I name this post "Oh my, so much denim!" I've really gone crazy with this, but I have three pairs I need to take care of, so... Any way, here's the line up of what I have listed at WildPinkRosesWear at Etsy. Still working on more, trying to find more ideas. Today, though, I think I'll list some household items on WildPinkRoses. So check that out today too!

OK, So What!

Ok, so things haven't worked out so great here. Little did I know people could be so off their rocker. This was just a temporary move anyway while we searched for the permanent one. Well, we found it. Right back in the same area we were a couple of years ago, only a little further down the lane. No pics yet, maybe in a couple of days. We can't move in until April and I'm chewing my nails off trying to wait till then! It's ironically a place I wanted a while back but couldn't have because it was not for sale. I wished really hard and now it's mine! Who knew?!

Okay, now for a peak at what I've been working on the past few days. I've gotten into this upcycling frenzy lately and while waiting to move I've been trying to get stuff made out of all this mess I've been hoarding. Literally, I can't walk thru my crafting shed! No pictures please! These last two, or is it three?, days I've been cutting up old jeans of my sons and making jewelry, ornaments and whatever else. Here are a couple of things so far. No, there's more, just have to take pics today.

The top pic is a keychain, fringed denim with

a rose attached. The one to the side is a necklace

with a denim chain and fringe. Both are available on

my WildPinkRosesWear shop on etsy.

I've made a vow to post something everyday

on here, be it silly or purposeful. So, you may see pet pictures, projects, family members, outings, oh so many different things. Tell me what you like best and I'll give you more of the same. Until tomorrow, toodle-loo!

Craft The Life You Want!

We're Here!

Just a little update. We are finally in our home, though it's not completely ours yet. We are helping my bother in laws family move out and then we will move in. Should be done around the first of the week. I'm so very excited and a little anxious for this to be done already, but I'm being very patient. That virtue is one that I have worked very hard on and it seems I'm getting very good at it lately.

Gibson Park

Took a short trip down the road from mom's house this morning. The idea was to gather mussels if we could find them.

This is the view from above a small cliff overlooking the river. I've always felt so much at home when I'm at the river. I love to spend long afternoons, wading and catching fish with a cane pole.

This is where the boat ramp comes out into the river. My stepdad, Revis, is judging the downhill trail to see if he can make it without tripping head over heels.There were a few spots of slick clay.

My son, Dusty, feeling through the river sand to find mussels. We didn't find any, so we just enjoyed ourselves and the view for a little while.

This is my foot, feeling through the sand, just off the edge of the water. Like I said, we didn't find any mussels. I don't really know when their season is, but apparently we weren't in time.

Look at that view down river. This is the historical Suwannee river in Hamilton County, Florida.I've lived near this river all my life in one place or another. I've fished, swam and walked the shores for miles on end. It never gets boring to me.





Not mussels, apparently, but we found a lot of snails. They were everywhere! Too bad we couldn't eat them.

Typical back woods fire pit in the ground. They have a few of these with the rustic little benches here and there for grilling up any fish caught or if not, a few hotdogs.
