Hello Friends & Folk!
...and a very
Happy Happy Father's Day
to those wonderful people who have raised us, loved us, stood by us & put up with us!!!
My dear, sweet husband is one of those guys who was born to be a Dad…
Peter,
from day one you have been by my side helping to nurture, guide & teach ~
and our reward is a loving, compassionate daughter who loves us just as equally-fierce.
~ do you remember the day I told you "we" were finally pregnant after 7 loooong years?
I will never forget the look on your face.
...and do you remember how you fell head-over-heels in love
with that tiny baby that was just born?
I do.
I watched you then & I watch you now,
and I have learned from you so much...
we are so proud of you for your accomplishments
and I thank the stars everyday for you ~

Peter & Hannah |
doing what he loves to do ~ work!!! lol |
…enjoying just one of many of our animal-friends ~ this is Peaches, our Sun Conure {parrot} xoxoxoxox |
ok, enough of that mush ~
;)
on to
THIS!
…do you remember a while back when I re-did my ugly sewing box?
well, Miss Joan has followed suit and has re-done hers!!!!!
and just LOOk at this beauty ~
ohhhhhh! |
Miss Joan has taken one of her {{{many}}} vintage needlework pieces
and stitched it to the top of her sewing box!!!
then
she added a dark blue rick-rack to the edge….perfect!
she also wrapped the handle with red/cream homespun which she loves so much….
~ very clever girl ~
at first Joan thought this was needlepoint, but upon closer inspection, it is actually cross stitch done in wool! |
and here what's inside ~
WOW
Miss Joan is an antiques dealer,
and as such ~ she has the opportunity to hoard um…'collect' many things.
BUT her downfall passion is seeing items!!
I will be taking my camera to Miss Joan's House
and capture her sewing room for you all to see in an upcoming post ~
oh my stars & garters you will NOT want to miss that post!
~ just look at all that great stuff in there ~
makes me want to go buy another box just to re-do it again!!!!!!
Thank you Joanie, for allowing me to share your beautiful sewing box with my readers :)
{now go dust that sewing room 'cause I'm coming!!}

Love that sewing box full of old goodies! And a happy dad's day to your Peter and all the other great fathers we dearly love!
"Happy Dad's Day" to Peter. Hope you all have a wonderful day! (Hannah..so adorable. For a minute I thought she was holding an embroidery hoop, then realized it was a coaster. LOL.)~C
Such a beautiful tribute to your husband.
Oh the sewing box is so sweet!
