Not Outside The Box

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy Tuesday!

Finished up the little stitchery and did not have a frame

for it...

but I did have a box!!

I love old boxes and using them for all 

kinds of "stuff"

I added a little rusty wire and an old "bobbin light"

and ++POOF++

done!

I rather like it.

~~~

think I'll keep this and make another!

I will grubby up the flicker though, but I just

did not have one handy for this picture.

Quick update on our little fur baby girl...

she has a pulled muscle in her neck...

yeh she got that from me!!

Suppose to keep her seperate from Tinsley and Eli,

is the vet SERIOUS??

So I went and bought a cage and a small bed and of course a new toy...

is SHE in her little safe place????

~~NOOOO~~

but Eli is!!

I guess even he needs a break every once and a while!!

Have a blessed day and Thank You for your visit today!!

~~~Spring~~~Cleaning~~~~

Hello!!

I have been Spring Cleaning for what feels like

forever!

I think Lee has now taken 8 bags of clothing to our Goodwill.

These are the BIG leaf and lawn contractor bags...

FULL!!

When we moved here 5 years ago, I never went thru the

clothes (mine) and now seemed like a good time to do it.

Next will be the shoes...

over 200 pair...yeh, it's a problem!!

Do you wear a size 7-8???

Come on over!!

Here is the latest of things I have

been working on...

I can actually say that I am ready for

Gettysburg.

Just a few little things to finish up

wash and pack...

then hit the road.

Sure wish you were going Cathy and Lori...

Gonna miss you guys!!

Hope you all have a wonderful evening and

Thank You for your visit.

3rd Try IS NOT a Charm

Hope you had a fantastic day!!

A Mother's (Owner's) Love...

of course I have to show off the new

baby girl...

I could not resisit the last picture, you KNOW

you all have one of  THOSE baby pictures

laying around...

She is her new bed with her blankie and new collar...just

a temp though. No harness that small but I wanted her to get

used to wearing something.

She slept all night last night in her bed beside me, and all is well

in the household.

Eli has done a 360...yep he loves her

and he now loves to be rubbed and loved on. 

Not sure WHAT happened but had I known he was going to act like

this I would have gotten a puppy a long time ago!! 

Gotta go "play" now!!

Thank you for you visit...

and all of your wonderful comments and emails

about Katie...and Sassy.

Blessings from our home to yours

Robin



It Is With Great Pleasure.....

Miss Katie Scarlet Harrison.

she is 6 weeks old and a little baby

 girlfriend.

We will pick her up today after lunch.

 

Wish us well with her as we

have only met over the internet

and Tinsley still needs to approve...

but who could resist that FACE!!

Thank you for your visit and all of your kind

words extended to us after a crappy day on Monday!!

The Passing of A Special Girlfriend...

Sassy Harrison

2000-2012

our wonderful baby girl...

girlfriend...

big sister to Tinsley

Eli's play toy...

is now with Champ and Little Kitty.

This task was one of the hardest things Lee and I have EVER done.

We new that it was coming and last night was just not

a good night for Sassy...

so the decision was made.

We miss her...

we love her...

and she will ALWAYS be in our hearts and thoughts.

On a happier note...

~~Bee Hive~~Hornbeam~~

Good evening... hope all is well with you.

Can you imagine keeping your food in one of these?

or keeping your bees in it?

Bees you wonder...well I have been told it is either

an OLD bee hive or hornbeam.

More have told me that it was a hornbeam than a bee keeper.

I love it either way...

they are getting rare..

hard to fine...

and are really a cool piece of history.

"A Simple Life"...(jill peterson)

did an article on them in the fall 2011

issue.

You can see where this one had an old leather band

around it at one time...possibly to hold it together??

It still has a small piece of it clinging on.

This is a neat piece also, great green paint still in some areas.

Have never seen one with "cubbies" as I call them

You can see where the flour sifter used to be.

This may just have to hang in MY kitchen...lol

Excuse the red tape, did not want it flying open

for the trip home from TN.

Looking forward to returning there in August..

see all you guys again!!!!

We are going at it pretty steady getting ready for our

next show

Gettysburg!!

So looking forward to that!

Been told it is a packed house...so if

you can attend I think it would be worth your time!!

BIG NEWS!!!

I now have a screened door on the front of the shop....

~~woooohooo~~

Such a pleasure to have the door open and hear the birds,

smell the fresh cut grass

and of course hear the traffic!!

Love It!

Thanks honey...aka Lee.

Thank you for your visit to Millstone

and we will talk later.

Robin 

~~Success~~

A big Thank You to Jackie and all of

the wonderful friends that we now have in TN. for making

"The Gathering" a success.

We survived set-up..we only had one booth for this

show...never have had that small of a space before...

needed 2 (or more)...moved walls 3 times...poor Lee...

moved a green cupboard a bizillion times...poor Lee

tables were moved, taken down and re-set back up...poor Lee

...see a pattern here.

He was an angel!! Never complained, cussed or fussed!!!

Give him a round of something!!

O.K. here are only a few pics...google and I are

not friends right now!!

This last picture Lee went upstairs to take a picture...during

set-up...guess he needed a break!!

We also survived tornados..EVERYWHERE!!

They were all around us but the only thing that happened here

was that we lost power...but I needed to go to bed anyway...

al was good!!

Thank you for your visit,

I really appreciate each of you, yiour comments and e-mails!!

Arrived Safely!!

I forgot mine and Mr. Lee was so kind to find the

nearest Wally World.

The boxes are what I was working on right before

we left this morning. Thought you might like a peak.

I will show you all of the pictures later in the weekend...
