Oh Marilyn, thank you for your encouragement. Each week gets a little tougher and still we manage. I never thought the emotional fatigue would outweigh the physical, which isn't exactly a light load, but often it does. I'm so sorry to hear that you and your sister are not as close as you'd like. You never know, there is always hope. . . And I'd like to say that I'm truly thankful for all my farmgirl sisters as well. We share a kindred spirit here. I feel like I'm apart of a huge quilting bee, ladies church social, and gossip gang. Sharing and caring, while we craft, stitch, pray, praise, plan, read, write, sing, listen, grow, learn, teach, inspire, aspire, reflect, reveal, revel, reap & sow. (Believe me, I could go on and on!)
* * * Positive people loving on one another. Gosh, what more could we ask for? * * * Once again, I thank you all for making this experience so rich and rewarding.
SouthForty, MJFG#3794

Couldn't have said it better Doris, I've only been part of this
sisterhood awhile but it truly feels like our own little world! |

I'm glad you liked it! I wasn't sure what window sill art exactly was so I went with the option of hanging it in your window lol. I liked yours so much I made a similar one for myself! It was also a good craft for my girls and they made their own. It looks like two of the "clovers" are stuck together in this pic. Shipping. Ugh. I also meant to write a note but I was in a hurry to get it in the mail, it sounds like many of us were a bit late this month! I found the driftwood on the beach after we ate at our favorite Irish pub (where we actually got married). So while the flowers don't exactly look like clovers like I had in mind, It was very Irish inspired.

Thank you for the creative gift Sarah! Now I know what to do with all my old candle jars I can't make myself toss. ;) I'm going to plant this ASAP.  |

I must appologize to the wonderful sister who sent me Mail Art for March. Michelle is an awesome artist.
When I opened up the box that she sent it was just one layer after another of beauty. She has been studying fiber arts and surface design. She used those skills to tell a story for me about her world and her future. Such a lovely gift. I also love the insulater. My step mother has a collection and I am always a little jealous when I see it so now I have a start for my own. I also love birds, bugs and anything outdoors so everythng you sent is greatly appreciated. Anyone who gets you as a partner in the future is very lucky. |

I just received a amazing Mail Art today! Thank you so much Doris! Your collage of a bird is fantastic! I love the little details you add: glitter (I LOVE glitter! -^-^-), seed beads, feather. Really beautiful! Thanks also for the embroidery kit. I never done that before but I might give it a try.
Thanks again!
Much love,
Meg xxx |

So glad your pkg finally made it cross the border!! It was such a cute lil bird before I even started... but it was one of those things that just took on a life of its own. Originally I wanted to put a frame on the back side and fake curtains on the front so it could be your "window" anyplace you needed a view of nature. But there seemed to be no way to add those without blocking the really cute details on Mr Birdy. Did you notice his super chic purple mohawk?
Also, I failed to mention that the frame is balsa wood and is pretty fragile if held the wrong way. I was hoping to slide it into a bubble pack to save postage but after working with that very light weight wood, I found that it needed much stronger protection for shipping.
Anyhow, happy you like the little bugger.
