Ash is the only one of the four who faithfully gets his each night and the only one I still mend. If I could find that fabric I would make him another. But really, he had two and they b...

The rain is pounding outside as I type this, it is a beautiful hard rain that soaks the earth. Mary Mary quite contrary, How does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells And pretty maids all in a row. I love the rain especially when thunder and lightening accompanies it. Even after the tornado that devastated our town four years ago I still get a rush from weather. On to the free stuff:: This is my 50 th post. 50 50 50 I posted 50, read in a sing song fashion please hehe . Quite an accomplishment for me as I have been at this blog for nine months. Apparently, I don't have a whole lot to say. Nonetheless, it seems a reason to celebrate. So in what has become traditional blog fashion I am going to have a little drawing. I find myself with an abundance of trim that I would like to share. Also one lucky winn...
