Hello vacation!

At least that is the plan! Now they are saying more snow! Are you kidding me?! I will get out of Dodge if I have to stand on the front bumper of the car with a snow shovel while Terry drives! Can you hear the cabin fever in my post?! I swear the robins came in with snow shoes this year! cross your fingers people .. If we get a nor,easter it's gonna get ugly ! Lol,

My latest project!

I had a need to make this to wear on St Patrick's day in honor of my paternal grandfather Henry Travers. He was a rather mysterious figure in my childhood, My father did not live with him but with the Aunt and Uncle we grew up with, Bur he would often pick us up after school and give us a dollar bill and a Hershey's candy bar. He fixed the tree lights  every Christmas,,came at Easter and posed for pictures with us in our Easter Finery. He was an electrician ( hence the little light bulb ) and a chauffeur , a railroad man , a trapper and a handy  man at many of the large Vt/ NH resorts. ( like the Equinox in Manchester , Vt)   Irish in every sense of the word and not very

chatty. ! Many fond memories of him but also many questions!

Three Muses Challenge Ancestors

I am still not completely happy with this but I am working it do death at this point! So here it is , one of my favorite Ancestors, Pearl was actually my fathers Great Aunt but one of the 2 we grew up with in our lives, She was quite a character for her time. she up and hitch hiked to California when she was very young, She married twice more and lived there all the rest of her life. She was never a svelte woman but she loved to laugh and rabbit hunt with a shotgun from the running board of a car in the desert. And she loved her tea! She came every year to visit with a tea pot and cozy! The first item of the plane was to stop and send a case of Red Rose and Salada tea home, along with a case of Moxie! The scent of her perfume still makes me homesick.
