We all have had that need to just get up and go for a weekend to grab some time away from everything. I did just that last weekend and having lived a large part of my life in the Bay it wasn't hard to be my own tour guide. Making it a part of the "heritage" trip,... Continue Reading →

The elegance of a sampler. All handmade. All beautifully crafted. This is my Great Great Great Grandmothers work. Done when she was a child. I did one too around her same age, and by coincidence, both are on burlap and both are unfinished. Til next time...

The Daily Prompt word is Magnetic. As I do the family photographs for the new ancestry site, I came upon these two folks. Now, I have seen this photo before, I just don't know who they are yet.
