Mama’s Song

CheriGENERAL

Our Baby Girl sent me a song last night.  First I read the words … and got a little teary. THEN I played the recording —  oooh baby….that was it for me.  I lost it. DIY Guy just watched me and smiled — while the happy tears rolled down my cheeks. Before you listen and/or read … Read More

Remember my friend Colin?   Maybe I’m taking a great risk of “overdoing it”  — as in giving him too much coverage, but trust me, this one is worth it! In Colin’s words: This (video) was created for Emily Wilson, who is the sister of Sarah Wilson, a girl I met and became good friends … Read More

A piece of art . . .

According to DIY Guy… and in his own words —     this purse is “like a piece of art” and to tell you the truth, I definitely agree with him! My friend made it for me. I was supposed to make it. I’m not so good at knitting, and this was a bit complicated. When … Read More
