Mommy's Little Helper does WallPaper Removal too

Libby and I did more wallpaper striping last weekend,  I think there was a sale on wallpaper paste that year.  Libby patiently watched as I slowly striped layers and layers of wallpaper. She flopped in the wet sticky wallpaper with Mr. "Dirty Piggy" her favorite toy. 

Open Sesame - The New Door

I picked up this door back in the spring for an excellent price marked down.  And the combination lock was purchase for my Birthday.  So finally the new door is in, the patio is on and I started to cosy up the Side Entrance with some raised Flower Beds.

Sail Boat rug updated this week

Momz Wool help design this SailBoat pattern for a client, the hooker of this rug was in to pickup some additional shades of white and beige for the sails, with the ocean water being done in a very unique aqua blue shade being complimented by an extremely light sky with a few soft clouds. I've heard this rug has been completed and I will update if this lady comes back to the shop for a visit.

Come play in My SandBox

Want something fun for your family and friends to do at your house. Or, do you have a business where clients are sitting and waiting for a few minutes,  build a Zen Garden, just use a small flat tray with some type of artificial sand , in it place shells and stones from the beach, or anything that you can find.  I slipped in an old penny, and a few pieces of shiny custom jewelery for mystery digging.  Quote: The philosophy of Zen Gardens is to bring health to people, to harmonize our life, and to return balance in nature. In addition, our philosophy strives to perpetuate the co-existence of human beings and creatures as part of the universe.

The kids in the house love to play in it, as different people come and go in the house you will find different patterns and people's collections in the sand with the stones piled into unique settings.First thing you have to do is set the rules for the kids, NO HAND in the sand or it will be all over the floor. 

Sailing into the Weekend

I have ocean seashores and sailing on my mind today. Nancy finished her Light House Pattern today just a little bit of a haircut needed on the bottom. 

Visited my relatives at their cottage and got to see their new Boat, Libby and I are hoping to have a boating trip sometime soon.

Fresh Chives and Chicken Soup

One of my favorite summer treats is the fresh chives that I use in my cooking,  I would just love to have fresh herbs year round to uses.  I'm unsure how to make a small in door Herb Garden but I think this is on my to-do list for fall.  Any input is appreciated from Herb users that have done this. 

"Holey" Sunday

Lots & lots of holes Sunday; holy "Holey" Sunday

Every one of those nails holes on all the moldings and casings had to be filled before the painting can begin. One more step has been done my poor little fingers....

The wool stash is now starting to move to it's new home. This is a great chance to wash down the shelving and re-organize our wool.

Rescue Animals - Just Part of My Life Now

I was just reading Rugs and Pugs blog and her passion to save rescue animals and I thought I'd share a few furry friends that I helped save recently.  These 4 kittens came to my house one friday night we were unsure if they would live.  Their mother had not returned for over a day and their fate was sure to be starvation.

I agreed NOT wholeheartedly to take the kittens into my new rug hooking kitchen and see if they could eat enough to survive, we mixed up a homemade milk :corn syrup, eggs, water (and vitamins) as the vet was closed for the night. 

We started feeding them every 4 hours and sure enough in the morning they were still alive.  They grew every day and ate and ate special vet  "mother's milk"  This is one of the reasons I have been busy and not posting alot I've been mother to 4 kittens with a 4-6 hour feeding schedule.  LOL

Ready for adoption now, stronger than ever.
