Simple Joys

"Simple Joys in Life"!

My family is my life. My husband - I love him so much I feel like I could burst sometimes! My beautiful daughters bring me joy just talking to them. My grandchildren are so delightful and fun just to hold! But David keeps me much busier than that! I don't know were my life would be without him!

Yes! These two are family and part of the simple joy I have everyday!

I love making things even if it is not a quilt, sewing little things to give to or swap with others! It brings me such joy sending off things for someone else to get a surprise in the mail. I have yet to be disappointed on what I received in return! The look on a child's face when you give them something you made just for them! (Last weeks starts and finishes).

I love fabrics - to look, hold, pet, buy, create! It gives me so much pleasure just going through my fabric containers looking for the next project! Big joy comes when going to quilt stores!

The daffodils poking their heads up through the cold ground to show Spring is on it's way!

I enjoy taking care of my birds (chickens), they have such simple needs, and give you eggs!

I am linking up with Deborah from Simply Miss Luella for the lets get acquainted Monday Link up! Thank you for stopping by "In The Boon Docks"! Create and be unique, Lisa

    First time visit from "Let's Get Acquainted" - what a lovely post about how it isn't always just our hobbies worth celebrating but our family and life as well! So lovely to see the daffodils poking up to let us know that Spring is on its way.

Cartwright Seam Ripper Giveaway

Welcome my friends and those who maybe visiting for the first time! Today, I am so excited to introduce you to a true West Virginian Artesian, Greg Cartwright , of Cartwright's Creations . His items are sold in historical shops throughout West Virginia. He is a lover of reclaimed wood of historical nature and creator of works of art! Greg (Cartwright's Creations) & I A note from Greg Dear Readers I have provided two seam rippers to Lisa so she can have one and one to give away. They are both made from beautiful old growth oak which was reclaimed from the original train depot in Weston (Lewis County), West Virginia. Train service was established in Weston around 1880. This wood is representative of a great part of my passion for this venture in woodworking for me – that is finding wood with a story to it. I must admit that my main focus is pens and pencils but it really doesn’t matter what I am making as long as it is from wood (although I have recently added pens...

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don...
