The Olde FarmHouse Road: Starting Over..litterally

Starting Over..litterally

Well my blog had a glitch that I couldn't straighten out, so I had to delete my blog and start over.. hmm, just like my LIFE now! Starting over again there too. Always thought at this age, 51, my life would be more secure and settled but instead I am starting over again. My heart is broken into a million pieces but I guess it will mend. I am also starting over with my website, it is now The Olde FarmHouse Road... formerly Little Country Blessings. Jennie is still working on it but should be up and running in a day or so. Well, guess I have a lot of work to do sewing and also to get my blog filled with pics, etc. Thanks to all who stop by! Blessings to you all, Carmen

Hi Carmen-sounds as though a fresh start will be good all the way around for you. From what I've read you have so many friends who surround you with the love and support. I'm a new follower and supporter. Will be placing an order for a mammie soon. So will look for your site to be finished. Stay positive, and look to the future-I'm sure that God has a plan for you!
To new beginnings.............

My precious Kitty, Miley.

It is very wet and rainy. I have been sitting in the living room on the couch with my furry doggies and just listening to the rain fall and starring at my Christmas decorations. It is peaceful. Have the TV on mute and waiting for the College FootBall game to start. What a nice quiet, peaceful and beautiful December evening. Can't remember the last time I sat alone and just listened to the rain fall and not feel stressed or anything, just peaceful. Just a beautiful and unusual feeling December night.

Thank You Jesus!

My dear son in law, Michael.. (Celena's husband)...., arrived back in the states today to his home base in Port Hueneme California, he has been in Afganistn for the past 8 months. Michael will be here at my house in less than a week so he and Celena wil be spending ThanksGiving with me. We are very excited and so glad he is back in the homeland. It will be so hard for me when they leave to go back to California , I will miss them and especially my baby girl soo much. But glad for her that her hubby is home and she is happy!

E-pattern available! Click paypal button above to purchse e-pattern,mailed pattern or finished doll

Several people asked about printing the feedsack. This is an image from ewenmeprintables. I included the directions for printing onto fabric in the pattern. You can order pre cut freezer paper sheets to do this or just use wax paper from the local store. Iron the shiny side of freezer paper to dyed fabric, trace off a regualr size sheet of printer paper on back of freeser sheet, cut out to size of your piece of printer paper that you just traced (8.5x11), run through printer making sure it is free of strings hanging and flattened. Some printers are fussy about taking it, use one at a time, make sure you do this fabric side up or how ever your printer takes it so it will be ready to print on fabric side. All you are doing is giving the fabric enough body to go through your printer.

Visiting Sandy Yesterday

Got to stop and see Sandy for most of the day yesterday, came on home late in the afternoon. We got to go to a new Thrift Shop and do a few things while I was there, had a great time. saw her new pattern doll models and they are wonderful!!! Her pics just do not do her items justice, they look amazing! I saw the new Annie with the frog, her new pattern, and it is great! Here is my grandson enjoying my box of stuffing, he loves the way it feels. Dustin sat in it the whole time he watched his favorite Disney show.
