~Wednesday Blessings~

~My sister, Kathy, and Mom~

It's been an unreal state of pandemonium here at RoseCreekCottage lately!! Summer is trying desperately to surface amid the winds and rains. Many many blessings here:

~Mom turned 91. quietly. sleepingly. lovingly.

~a whirlwind 'Girls' Weekend' to Washington DC with much laughter, a few drinks, good food and much comraderie~

~lots of new books that finally made it from my Wish List to an actual 'stack' that are ready for Summer Reading~

~looking forward to seeing family in FL for some over-due visiting~

~Hilton Head Island with our grandbabies for some R&R and many hugs and kisses in between Banana Pancakes and oodles of cupcake baking~

~Amish Katie and 6 of her friends are at our villa in Hilton Head. She called to say they're having a ball!

~Happy Wednesday Blessings to you wherever you are in this world~

~Lilacs in the Studio~

The lilacs are blooming here in Ohio...and that can only mean that spring has finally arrived. Rosie and I have been working away at revamping out jewelry studio so we can hire more help.

Amish Katie spent the day yesterday helping out. She's SO very good at organizing and re-organizing space. She has a real 'eye' for it. We went over every inch of the studio. She'll be helping me several days a week from here on. I treasure my time with her. She truly invigorates my soul. You can read about how she 'danced' into our lives here. I'm so blessed that she is still here after all these years~~Thank you, Lord~





Looking forward:

~a 91st Birthday Celebration for Mom

~ a new website on the horizon

~a trip with my 'oldest' girlfriends this weekend

~an upcoming trip to Florida to see family

~a Hilton Head vacation with the kids and grandkids

~lots of new designs of sentimental hand stamped jewelry for moms, dads, (think Father's Day) grandmas, sisters, friends, etc, from RoseCreekCottage Studios

~Continued blessings everywhere. God is SO good~

Blessings to you wherever you are in this world~

~Monday Blessings~

~It's finally Spring here in the midwest! New little shoots of spring flowers are poking their heads through the cold ground.

~The snow has melted.

~Birds are singing...and the robins are back.

~I had the snowtires taken off my car on Saturday!!!

~I'm working on Mother's Day orders in the studio.

~It's 'almost' warm enough for capris and sandals!

~Amish Katie comes tomorrow to help in the studio.

~The Spring air smells so good......like God is right there ready to turn all the gray, empty trees to lush shades of green.

~Life is good!

I'm off to the studio this morning...then Rosie and I are off to visit Mom for lunch.
Have a beautiful April Week wherever you are in this world~
