JANUARY 2022

I think i need one of these sweatshirts... 

Beautiful Sunset

My Christmas present to myself...

A Pioneer Woman Tea set and another small table runner.

It also has 4 cups which we use everyday.

Two things I'm doing new this year are riding at least 30 minutes on the recumbent bike we got and reading my Bible every morning before picking up my phone and getting sucked into it.

Got my hair trimmed 2".  

 

Girls did an excellent job at their first gymnastics meet this year...

Found an embroidered runner, I had purchased at a thrift store in Enid, OK, to place on Grandma's little dresser.  Now it looks more like how I remember it growing up.

** Did some more research on this little dresser...

I think it is an "1890's Princess Dresser", I asked my Mom if she knew how old it was, I was thinking 1930's, but she said Grandma and Grandpa never had anything new.  They always got stuff handed down.  So after more research I found out they were married in 1928.  So I looked back online and discovered the Princess Dresser.

A CIRCA 1890 PRINCESS WISHBONE MIRROR DRESSER

For those who aren't aware since I can't reach my feet (bilateral hip replacements) I use a "sock aid" to help put on my socks and an extra long shoe horn, which also helps getting dressed. you see those on the right side of the dresser.

Finished sewing the top of my "Trip Around the World Quilt"...

I just need to add some "piano key" 

edging to the sides to make it a bit wider.

WINTER 2021...

 

Yesterday we had some rain and Sleet in our area. 

It was 35* 

Christmas Day it's supposed to be 80*

.

This little dresser belonged to Grandma Posey.

She always had a runner on it and a few personal items.

Momma had started stripping it several years ago.

It was just one of the items that holds so many memories for me.

So I was very happy to be able to finish up this project and 

continue using it once again.

I have tried to figure out how old it might be 

I was thinking 1930's. It's called "Tiger Oak".

It has the original wheels and 

the mirror swivels and is beveled and 

it was cut by chipping away the edges.

Momma said it may be older because 

they got most everything 2nd hand.

I love planting Pansy's in the winter.

As long as you keep them watered they

will survive freezing temperatures and bloom 

all the way till next Spring.

Simple decorations this year.

and a look at next years outside project...

redo the front porch and walk-way.

May you each have a 

"Very Merry Christmas"
