It seems strange blogging now. I can honestly say it feels better knowing that only my FRIENDS are here reading. I wish I would have done this so much sooner. Although I do feel bad blocking out those that enjoyed reading. I might do this for awhile then unblock again. I'll have to see how it goes. Right now I'm really uncomfortable with the whole thing. It's not been a fun few days. I am losing more friends because of this whole thing. And some of them have cancelled BOM orders with me. I guess to hurt me once again. I'm still not sure what I did that this has happened. But I look at it this way, they really were never my friends to begin with right?
Ok, back to normal here. How about some pictures? That is why you came back right?
I thought my birthday was over but....WRONG!!! Miss Brenda sent me this package of goodness. She already sent me those flowers in that awesome blue Ford Pick up truck. Then I get this. I love it all. I can't wait to make that snow lady. And the cocktail candy. DELISH.
What could be better than a jelly belly that tastes like your favorite cocktail. Nothing I tell you! Nothing!!!
Then I got this in the pkg. This is the neatest scissor fob. It is really pieced. Those are itsy bitsy pieces of fabric paper pieced. It's so pretty. My picture isn't so good. Thank you so much Brenda!!!
I got out some of my 4th of July quilts. I've shown this before many times but it's that time again. I won this quilt. It was a round robin. And I won! I never win. But I can't say that anymore.
With all the rain we're getting my flowers are growing like crazy. I don't really have slugs/snails here that bother my flowers like I did in Ca. Even rabbits don't come into our yard here. There they were everywhere. Here we just have snakes, moles, chipmunks which are so cute but oh so harmful to everything like moles are. We have wildlife of every kind. But so far they don't touch my flowers. And I spray for the deer so they are gone. At least out of my flowers.
Look how green the trees are. My flower boxes, I have two are looking so good. Hunka even got him a Sego/sega??? Palm. Our friend Paula has one and he only thought they had them in Ca. But apparently if you bring them in the garage here in the winter they will be fine. We'll see. We have one now.
I know I showed some of these too but now they are blooming. I swear these are HUGE. You really can't tell here but they are tall.
And these.....
Look at the blooms.
These are all over by our pond. They are so pretty. I love yellow almost as much as RED.
Look at this crazy plant. I thought it was different. The lady told me if I potted it I would see more curly branches sprout out and it would get fuller. I can't wait. I got one for my sister too for her birthday. She loves gardening. And she's good at it. Unlike moi!!
I've been stitching on this for Halloween. Isn't it cute? It's a big boot! The pattern in on the website. I love anything by Crabapple Hill.
Ok, that's my first private post. Did you like it?? Did you feel special??? haaaaaa Thank you for asking to view my blog. I appreciate you guys. It's so nice to have friends!!!!
Hugs!!!
Sharon
Loved it ! I'm sorry you've still got creeps to deal with, but at least your sweet blog can be your safe haven !
As usual, I love everything you've done with the decorating and that stitchery piece is just adorable !!!!!

You must have been a good girl to receive such nice gifts!
What an adorable wall hanging!!! I have nothing patriotic to put up. It sure will be nice when that Daisy Cottage store starts that BOM for Star Spangled Celebration. ;)
I am really like that Halloween stitchery too. I wish I have another pair of hands to get them all done.
Beautiful flower! The snakes are still a deal breaker for me though.

I always enjoy your posts and this one is no different. I gotta look for those jelly belly's next time. Your hostas look wonderful, I have a few as well, they aren't flowering as nice as yours. The halloween stitchery is going to be fantastic, I love the fall.

Hey there! I don't understand why adults can't learn to play nice. Okay, got that off my chest. I love that snowlady stitchery! I am oh so slowly working on the Winter Wonderland stitchery quilt. It may get done if I live to be 200. LOL! Have a wonderful week, Sharon!

My hostas are HUGE. I just let them go. They are taking over one area of my garden. I really like that curly branched plant. Very interesting!

Just love the way you decorate. When are you coming over to do my house? Bring your stuff as I don't have much! ;o) Love that boot pattern. Are you using the cosmos floss? Cheers!

Glad I was able to make it in. LOL Sorry that you've actually lost customers over all their foolishness. That's just crazy!!! And on another note, I'm going to have to find some of those jelly belly's!!! LOL

Sharon: So glad I made it in. Do you ever wonder if people ever grow up? Especially by the way they treated you. We're preparing for flooding along the Missouri River and Platte River in Nebraska, so sewing has not been a priority right now. I need uplifting conversations like the ones you post on your blog to keep my spirits up. Cindy S.

I love your back deck Miss Sharon! And Miss Brenda sure knows how to pick great presents. I'm also going to go hunting for those Jelly Bellies!
As always, love the way you decorate for the holidays.
