Fun Time with Sis Andi

I had a wonderful time with Sis Andi today! She loves her Owlie Pillow and she gave me adorable Snoopy gifts! Snoopy will be a train pet! Yay so cute! I love him and my new coffee cup and the little snoopy is on my book shelf!

Snoopy wanted a taste of my molten chocolate cake treat!

Thank you for a wonderful time Sis Andi and I look forward to another day of artwork fun with you!

My Scrapghan Project

Blooms on my cactus! This is the beginning of my scrapghan to use up leftover yarn and make myself a warm toasty blanket! It will be a slumgullion of pretty leftover colors!

Sis Andi’s Owl Pillow…

AndisOwlPillow

I did a couple changes on this pattern, it doesn’t have legs on this one because I wanted her to be more like a pillow! I changed up the flower too!

It is oh so cute! She will love hugging it!

Yard Leaves for 2015 Done….

IMG_3017

This morning I finished the last of picking up leaves from our yard and along our curb! Takes a lot of weekends to get this done because we have a big tree with lots of leaves! Bear likes to try to help by biting the rake!

We did a nice but chilly walk in the sunshine!

Old Scotch Church…

While driving home from my friends house, I spotted this beautiful country gem and had to pull over and take photos and enjoy it’s beauty!

This is the Old Scotch Church also known as Tualatin Plains Presbyterian.
It is a National historic site and the church dates back to 1873, the church structure dates back to 1878. I love the 8 sided steeple!

The cemetery surrounding the church has graves of church members and local pioneer Settlers of the Tualatin Plains which includes Joseph Meek! (I shall have to go back and try and find his grave marker!)

The first members of the church came from Aberdeenshire, Scotland and because the settlers are of Scottish origin, hence the name “The Old Scotch Church”!

I love historic buildings and the stories that they hold! What an awesome gem!

2015 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 9,900 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
