I posted this picture of unpainted chairs 9/23/08 so I wanted to show you how they turned out. 
I like the result! sorry about the background but I was excited and forgot about that. Here is also a picture of all of them together. They look so pretty all in a row. We take them in tomorrow so I will take some pictures of them in the Gallery.
You all have a great day and Happy Thanks giving!
I was experimenting with painting roses and really like the result. I think I will wait a few days before I attempt another but am really pleased with this one. Comments are always appreciated. 
Hello, So I have started the final chair for the gallery show. It is the Rose Garden. So far so good. I am pleased with the top slat and the rose buds are looking good. I wanted to learn roses and found them to be easier that I thought so, Yeah!!
So anyway when I got back to Cliff's (the place where I work) we were talking and thought they would look cute on some aprons they had that no one would wear cuz they were long and had no pockets, so.... I turned the bottoms up and made pockets all along the front and zig zagged these cute blocks on the front. 
Then I thought 'I wish I had time to embroider Cliff's name on the front', I'm not an embroidry nut, but I remembered some fabric paints I had so I used them, I only had gold and black but they turned out pretty good. I started at about 6:30 this morning and just finished, Yeah!!! Now I gotta get ready for work, have a great day.
Hello, I just finished this little rocker for the Auction. It is a trash to treasure peice. It will make someone a nice doll chair. Just a nice little OLD rocker! The Auction is Friday and Saturday. There is a Bazaar, breadfast, kids games and oodles of other fun stuff to do and see. It's here at Greenleaf at the community center and the school on Main Street & Academy.
It was fun and as you can tell I am not the only one who
had fun. The gal sticking her tougue out is one of the teachers at the Academy in
Greenleaf, she's a FUN gal!!
We had sharing time that was real good and game time and movie time, (Take the Lead w/Richard Gere) and Junk store shopping and quilt shop shopping. Audra,(Green shirt) found the cutest pattern for aprons so we are going to have a sewing day and make some, maybe for Christmas presents. The happy lady in the pink is Dianna, I think she had a REAL good time, hahaha!! We had a real great time and hope we can get more women to came next year.
Hello All, So sorry I have not been blogging much this last week, if any. I think 
I have been going through a 'funk' of sorts. I just was not feeling this chair. But I was assured that the chair had merit so I will post the end product. It 
reminds me to a sampler that is embroidered. All kinds of different techniques 
and instruments were used to acheive the finished chair. I practiced curlie Q's and dots and flowers, ect. Thanks for looking.
n's soccar game. He plays every Saturday, his dad, my son Jake, is the coach. It was a great game and Dylan even kicked the ball a few times.
It is so cute, the players are between 4 and 6 years old. Sme know why they are out there and some don't, but they sure seem to have fun. Most don't care where they ball goes as long as they get to kick it. We, the spectators, clap and shout hooray no matter who gets the ball in the goal. Right 
now it's all for fun and I think they coaches and parents have accomplished that. Here are some pictures of the action. The other little guy sitting on my lap isRaleigh his little brother and my 5th grandson. I didn't get a pictures of their mom, Rachel, so here she is, a great little daughter-in-law if I do say so myself. Next week is their last game and 
Thursday is their Pizza party at the YMCA where Rachel works. Next Spring Raleigh will play with his brother, now that will be interesting!!!
Hello,
versity,
squash Hawaii. Here is a picture of me showing some BSU pride, just a little. They are doing so well. I baked an Apple Raspberry pie for the occaision. Sandy's making ribs, Yeah!! Hurry up Dennis, we don't want to miss any thing. Well I'm going to sign out!! Byee!!
Good Morning All,
were all there to watch dad fix it. In the picture is Norman, the big dog, Blueberry, the smaller dog and Joe the cat on the 
roof of the pickup, oh and that's Dennis fixing the saw. We filled the tailgate!!
Well I have started on the next chair, a rocker. After 3 days, approximatly 12 hours, here it is so far. Joe is testing it out for me. It's going nicely, Dennis keeps asking me what the theme is, I have not idea, I'll tell you later. 
now if they were all on one board or if they each had their own. Their dad called later that evening to tell us they were on it most of the day. Here's a picture of the boys having a milkshake drinking contest during the day. Sounds like a great time. By the way the pictures of graffitti is for a Christmas present Jeremiah, my son, is making me. I love homemade from my kids, so exciting!!
Last night my hubby and I went outside and fed the calves, the neighbor and we have 7 altogether. It is so beautifull out on the hillside where they are. I threw sticks for the dogs to catch and we talked about the house on the hillside we are always going to build. Den's plans always get a little extravigant so for now it's just talk. Then we went into the 8 acres and spent about an hour and a half choping wood for kindling. It was so much fun, we sawed it all by hand cuz the chainsaw, needs a new blade I guess. It was sundown when we finished and the sky was just gourious, we even had a full moon, well it looked like a full moon anyway. Here is a picture of what we gathered. I propped it by the front door, it's very autumny.
Little Anthony did come and he was a real trouper. Even let us go to Savers when we got back to Nampa. We caught the 42 bus at Karcher mall at 10:30am and got to 9th and main just in the nick of time to catch the #14 bus to Hyde park.
We also went to the Blue Moon antiques, they had great prices on crazy quilts which I loved but had to resist.
We then decided it was time to hoof it to the Co-op on 9th and Fort. While we were hoofing it we saw a bus that would be going to the co-op so we ran back for it. Imagine four, not as young as they used to be, ladies and a baby in a stroller runner down the street yelling "wait, wait". It was all very funny and par for the course for yesterday. As the bus started out we realized it was not going straight to the co-op, it was a more scenic route. We finally got there and realized the bus driver was not necessarily stopping so I pulled the cord and we got off. I felt soooo brave. Inside the co-op were all sorts of healthy fare, some I had heard of, some I had not. But my friend Julie was in heaven as she had found some the items she remembered from Africa, where she did some of her growing up, as her folks were missionaries (she's Anthony's mom). Sharon and Laura bought themselves Gelatos and I got myself a coffee with whole milk just like I like it and we stolled around for some time.
