I have not been getting much done lately. I have lots of things I want to work on but we have been having a lot of rain and I have just been enjoying staying cozy in the house. Janae let me know about a sale that I wanted to share with everyone---because it is a great one!
Do it Yourself Chic is having 25% off all appliques and free shipping in the US starting tomorrow and ending on Monday (Memorial day). You can find them here. This is the place where I get the appliques I use on furniture and crafts to make them have that extra special appeal. What a sale! I wish I was rich--I would stock up! I went around the house and took some pictures of my favorites.
I really love using these and the quality from Do it yourself chic is really good. I have been pleased.
My Father in law is visiting us from Oklahoma. He picked a good time to visit I think! It has been wonderful having him here. He moved to Oklahoma 3 years ago and we hadn't seen him in all that time. I am so glad the kids especially get to see him.
Rather than calling him Grandpa we have always called him Papa.
Janae had us all over for pizza the other day. It is so nice to have a grown daughter to do things like that :)

Lacie usually won't let anybody she doesn't know pick her up..but she seemed to know Papa is a good guy...and a big dog lover!
Although I hate to put Papa to work while he is here Jerry (my husband) and Papa have been getting a lot done! They built this wheelchair ramp for Gage--
They also built the back fence. Jerry's brother Shane helped too. It went up so quickly. No more fence blowing over on windy days!
I hope this finds everyone well...and please do take advantage of the Do it yourself chic sale if you feel inspired :)
Thanks for visiting!

So nice to hear that you had a wonderful visit!
A lovely reunion. They certainly got a lot of work done between the two of them. Your yard looks so lovely! It's cold and raining here. I will be wearing my winter coat today. It's 5 Celsius here, going up to only 13 this afternoon. Colds are rampant and I don't need one. What strange weather for the end of May.
How nice to have your FIL visit. I sure hope his home was not in the tornado area. How sad for all of those wonderful people. I love all your beautiful projects that you do. You sure have a talent for making things sooo pretty! Enjoy your garden..it has to stop raining sooner or later..the gardens love it but even the gardens are ready for a break in the rain.
I will be checking this sale out for sure. Thanks for letting us know. Sounds like the guys have gotten a lot done. Have a great weekend!

What a beautiful family you have Sandy.... love the photo in the mirror. My family live in different states too, so it is really special when you can get 3 generations together.

Appliques add so much. Of course I love the roses. Enjoy your family time.
Oh I love all of the appliques, and how great to get things done...I could sure use a new fence!

How nice to have your father-in-law visit after three years and spend family time together! How great that he was helpful too! Nancy
So glad you had a wonderful visit with your FIL. I hope he gets to stay for a while. Your back yard looks amazing!! Great work to your husband, his brother, and Papa!! Many hands make light and wonderful work. You inspire me to get in my back yard this year. Your daughter has also given me some great ideas for my hallway walls this summer. You have an amazing family.
So glad to hear you and your family are enjoying some time with Papa after three years. Hopefully he won't wait that long to visit again next time :-) Wishing you a wonderful day.
Hugs,
❤Ana
Argh...I missed the sale! I love using them on projects at home and for the shop!
How fun to have your fil visiting, looks like you are having fun!
Hope you have a great visit! I love the way you use the appliques, your pieces always look amazing!
Hugs,

The look here is lovely! I too have been repainting old antiques this winter going shabby! Your home is lovely and YOUR GARDEN! Would love to have you come to link at my "Open House" later this morning!
I've never seen their appliques before! Those are wonderful. Your ramp is gorgeous. Much prettier than some of the ones I've seen. We have an elevator type thing in the garage, but for the back doors we have metal ramps like they use to get a motorcycle into the back of a truck. Not the prettiest thing!
Oi Sandy, linda família, gostei da rampa. Um Bj no seu coração.
