My New Etsy Shop!  

An exciting new venture!  I expect having two shops will be a challenge but it's one I'm looking forward to.  In my new shop you'll find all my hand sewn items.  Pincushions, aprons and a few other items ready for you to gift out or treasure for your own.  
I'm still in the process of moving items over from my original 
A-Rae shop so be patient with me.

Words for the day!

The heart can think of no devotion Greater than being shore to ocean-

Holding the curve of one position,
Counting an endless repetition.

- Robert Frost

This quote's always on my homepage but this morning I've decided to put in the spot light.   Incase you haven't scrolled down that far and missed it.

Mark Twain's wise words for the day...

“Twenty years from now you will be more 


disappointed by the things that you didn’t do 


than by the ones you did do. So throw off the 


bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch 


the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. 


Discover.” 




– Mark Twain.

Sun Painting

Sun Painting is one of many things on my summer list of things to do.  Esty had featured this how to a while back.  Great instructions.  I look forward to trying it out with the kids.  I'll let you know how it goes and post our paintings once complete.  

Vino

Wine is the theme for the day so I went to looking and found a great site with lots of wine related topics.  Check it out!
