Getting In Some Fishing

I thought I would share a bit of what the hubs was doing this past weekend.

He was in upstate West Virginia doing a bit of fly fishing.

That is his new found hobby or should I say love!

This was on the Potomac River not far from The Mouth of Seneca. It is beautiful in that area

and so relaxing to be on the water.

He took part in this weekend trip as part of a "Project Healing Waters". It is a wonderful

resource for our veterans and participating service members.

Time Change

Spring forward,

Set up your clock,

Turn up your clock,

Daylight savings time!!

No matter what you call it it starts tomorrow at 2am.

So in most households that means changing the clocks before you go to bed.

 So don't forget or you will be late for church in the morning.

I don't know about you but in the fall when we "fell back" it really bothered me. It took me days to get life back to normal. What ever normal is around here!! It messed up my sleep pattern and just made me feel yucky!

So I am waiting to see how my body will respond to "springing forward" !

How about you! Does it bother you one way or the other? It never bothered me till last fall......I must be getting old or something!!

Show Casing A Great Etsy Artist

I am starting something new here on my blog. I want to share some great Etsy artists with you over the next several weeks.

There is so much talent on Etsy and as I have met my fellow etsians I have realized they are real people with a passion.

So today I want to introduce Dennis from Cripple Creek Woodwork. Dennis has a wonderful shop that is just overflowing with raw talent. He is a 3rd generation craftsman who loves to use reclaimed and recycled wood when ever possible. So if you are into going green and saving the planet. This is a shop you won't want to miss.

Here are a few examples of the craftsmanship you will find in his shop. And believe me you will be amazed at some of the things you find that are made from wood.

Each piece in his shop is made by his own hands. He has no helpers or workers so perfect attention goes into even the smallest of details.

 

Whether you are looking for a great handcrafted gift or a lovely yet useful diplay piece, your needs can all be met at Cripple Creek Woodwork! And is this not the most adorable toybox you have ever seen?

If you are looking for something and you can't find it. Then you need to talk to Dennis. He loves to work with your idea and make it perfect just for you. I know this from experience! I was looking for a simple yet handcrafted drop spindle and after talking to Dennis for just a short while I knew he was the perfect fit .

Isn't it beautiful and let me tell you the only thing smoother is a babies butt!!

I am so happy with my drop spindle and I a thrilled to be able to share this great shop with you today. I just love comments and I read everyone (sometimes more than once)! I am going to have a drawing when I reach 50 followers so please sign up today to follow me and lets get the ball rolling.

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!

Happy New Year!!!

2012 is here and we all have a New Year ahead of us.The first thing I did this morning was praise the lord for just that, another year. Now may I take it and make it all he wants it to be.

Today started out just like anyother morning with things to do and food to ccok. On the menu today will be pinto beans (since dh doesn't do black-eyed peas)! and I will fix venison tenderloin, fried cabbage and corn bread to go with them. Relaxing at home today and playing some card games and some Wii I am sure.

What are your family traditions for this first day of the new year?

Do you all have big plans for 2012?
