I can’t give out any information yet, but soon! I’m very excited about this new project and I hope you will find it helpful.

My heart is to help families, and that includes mine, in planning and organizing beautiful backyard weddings without having to pay for the wedding long after it is over.

I have lots of ideas to share and…well, I really do not want to spoil what’s coming. So…be on the look-out for my announcement.

Outdoor wedding season is on it’s way… let’s get ready!

My husband and I just finished up planting the garden so I need to get grass clippings around all my plants to help keep the moisture in and the weeds out! And, my brother dropped off four loads of rocks  for finishing up the rock wall on the lower lawn and making a new one around our “someday barn area”.

Ah the barn… will it ever get started? We keep changing our minds on design and if we should do it ourselves as opposed to having it done. Oh, and the colors, now that has given me nightmares. I don’t want it to stand out but blend in with the landscape.  I look at it out my kitchen window so it can’t be yellow. There are only a few shades of yellow I like.

Picky? Um… yes. It  will be there forever. Should we even be doing this? What if my husband loses his job, which they keep saying could happen because of downsizing. However, we are starting a business and the barn is very important. We decided to keep on going.   The barn is in year one of our five year plan.

We believe this is the path that was set before us and we will press on.  I think Winding Up is about to happen. Oh… did I mention the bricks I have to put under the pergola, bark for flowerbeds, more furniture and order and hang mirrors for the bridal room of our wedding facility, work on my new website, you get the idea.

Writing will be hit and miss for the summer as I am working on all my projects. I am taking before and after pictures to share along the way. What does your summer plans look like?

Winding Up,

Teri :~)

I know this seems like an expensive item and it is. But… as I’ve shared before, go in with other family members to purchase this Best Gift item. Most people would love to know what to get the bride and even more excited to pitch in on something that will be loved, used, and cherished for years.

Our oldest daughter left home with a Janome DC2010 that was purchased from “The Top Stitch” our local fabric store. It was purchased for about $500.00. She loves it!  It’s a great machine for a beginner or intermediate seamstress and can be used for anything: crafts, clothing and other household items.  It’s so fun to go to her house and see the things she has done with some fabric and her machine.

I taught my girls to sew while they were growing up. However, it’s easy to get into an adult sewing class. Most shops that sell machines have beginning sewing classes. Don’t let not knowing how to sew hold you back if you think it’s something you just might enjoy. Plus, why throw out a piece of clothing if all it needs is a simple repair? My machine has saved me lots of money over the years.

Eryn’s friend Hannah even came over and used it to sew a baby blanket for one of her friends. It’s a very purposeful gift (oh how I love purposeful)  that you can have a lot of fun with by yourself, and with others. My girls and have talked about taking a sewing project workshop class at our local sewing  store, The Top Stitch. They have the cutest projects to do.  And… Carrie, the owner, is as sweet as they come.

This hasn’t happened yet, but it will. We are currently doing something else once a month together (Heritage Makers), I’ll share on that later. Getting together with my married daughters has been such a blessing! I’m so thankful they want to hang out with me.

Are you planning a get-together with your married daughters or maybe daughters-in-law? I hope so, they need us and I know I love to spend time with them.

So,  get this “Best Gift” and stay connected!

My 12 year old son Jaryd left the house the other morning carrying his gallon of honey bee, sugar water. Jaryd is starting a honey business and in the spring he feeds them sugar water until there is enough pollen for the bees to find.

As he was headed down the hill toward the bee hive he noticed something moving out of the corner of his eye. As he turned to look at what it was he got a big surprise! A moose, and it was staring right at him. The moose proceeded to give a big snort ( Jaryd’s words).

Jaryd then set down his gallon of sugar water (very surprised he just didn’t drop it) and started to run to the house. That is when Les (my husband) and I saw our son running faster than we had ever seen him go (they joke on his little league baseball team because Jaryd moves so slow around those bases).

What would make our son want to move that fast? As we started scanning the yard we found out! Whoa… 

 Well, Jaryd made it safely to the house and our moose hung around for about half an hour. He then went across the road to the Christmas tree farm. That was the first time for a moose on our property, it was a very fun morning.

Teri, who loved the morning surprise! :~)
