A few of my favorite things.....at the moment

in order of important to least importance


the view off my back deck....why?
because GOD created it and there's nothing better
well except when there are no leaves on the trees
the view just gets better....you can almost see the further mountains in the distance


my pl lanyard
i'm so excited for this chapter in my life
i hope it's a long chapter


my "old" mini kerosene lamps
i love these
i have to use them on the back deck, cause the burning kerosene flares up an asthma attack
i love these
have i said that already?

  1. That looks so PEACEFUL.

    Have you tried other lamp oils to see if you can find one that doesn't trigger your asthma?

  3. I have a lamp just like those. "Somewhere" in a box. I was thinking about starting a Binky Patrol Chapter just before we moved to NC. Thought about it again recently, now my DIL is pressuring my son to move back to FL, where she is from. If it happen it will be at least two years. Hate to start something then leave. Since I heard about the FL thing, I don't even feel like unpacking any more boxes. "Or" finishing my studio. Oh well, just another day in paradise!

  4. LOVE the view and can't wait to see if for myself....also......I am SO excited for your Project Linus chapter......I'll have blankets for you when I visit in a few weeks. Nice lamps, too. Maybe Gene is right and you can find some other lamp oil that won't trigger the asthma for you.

  9. I think it is wonderful that you are using your talents of quilting for PL. What a great way to use a gift God gave you for His glory! I'm going to look into that.

  14. I love your view! I'd love to sit and read on your back deck and may do some handwork or knit.

    I've never seen lanterns like that. They are beautiful.

  15. I miss having a house with a deck. Love the view!

    A simple little badge but I bet it makes you smile when you wear it :)

    We have a few kerosene lamps but we don't use them because they set off my asthma too. We used to live in a house with kerosene heaters before I was diagnosed with asthma and it used to be so bad for me to be inside.
