Claire's First Visit To The Cottage

I was so excited when Jayson and Sara said they could come up this weekend, I have only got to see our little Claire once since she was born because of the darn virus, the never ending virus. Now it is gone and finally I got to spend the day with our new little girl. Just had to share some pictures of Claire in her new hats I had made for her.She is a little doll.

Baby's Got A Brand New Hat

Grandma made me a hat. Look at that big pink ball..

She needed a model for this one, I was just sittin around so told her I would help out.

So do you think I'm cute or what?

The Hen Hotel That Stole My Heart.

A Special Gift
Have you ever been given a gift that was so special you do not even know how to thank the giver of such a gift?
Well for my birthday this year I was given such a gift.
You have heard me talk about Mike, my co-worker. He is the one that made the General Store for me to auction to help raise money for my Relay For Life Fund this year. How special a person to have done something like that. And by the way we raised $95.00 thanks to Mike.
I love making things for other people but very rarely do I get hand made things from others, and when I do It is so exciting I can hardly stand myself.
Every year for the last three years Mike has made something for my birthday, and every year I think it doesn’t get any better than this.
Last year Mike had heard me talk about wanting my Dad to make me a church birdhouse with stained glass windows, so on my birthday here he comes with his darling wife with what? An awesome church birdhouse, well it’s for in the house, its beautiful, with stained glass windows painted by Karen his wife, a pulpit and pews it is awesome. And It lights up.
As I shared with you earlier in a post, I found a wonderful new magazine this year. MaryJanes Farm. In the first issue I seen they had a Hen Hotel, well I feel in love with it. I love chickens, not sure why, but I want chickens. In Fact I know that I want six and I know what there names will be, Josie, Elsie, Twyla, Lilly and Ginny.
Well it said in the magazine that two farm girls could build this in just one weekend, so of course I decided that I was going to do just that in the spring.
During my excitement I just happened to mention this to Mike, wonderful, kind, good hearted, handsome Mike.
Well guess what Wonderful, Kind; Good hearted Handsome Mike brought me for my birthday this year? You guessed it, the cutest little Chicken Hotel you have even seen! Complete with a chicken and two roosters. You can not believe how much this looks like the real thing, nesting boxes, eggs and nests made by Karen his darling wife, by hand! Painted and distressed by his daughter Cass, with wall paper on the back wall, can you believe that. And It lights up. It just makes my heart want to burst to know that these three wonderful people
sat and worked on this little Hen Hotel just for me. I LOVE it and I feel so blessed to have people in my life that would do such a thing for me.
I had to share this with you, I hope you enjoy.. Hugs From the Hen Hotel


Is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen?

look at the detail. Cass is an artist,she did such an awsome job.
There is my one and only Hen. Josie, she is sooooo cute

Check out my nesting boxes. And the eggs in the basket that Karen made just for me...I am about ready to wet my pants......



And there are my boys.

A Bit Of Christmas At The Cottage

One of my most precious belongings, my stocking knitted by my mama many years ago..

Outside little window box.

One of my favorite Christmas whatsits.

Two sweet little snow guys..

Just a corner in my back room

I just could not get him to stay out of things

I put my old sled on top of my old red cupboard and my little elf helped me decorate it all.. Cute in person, looks cluttered in the picture.

This is my little cupboard at my front door, it turned out really cute, the mercury glass canisters I just got today for my dear buddy Betsy for my birthday.. Which is tomorrow, Yes I am A Christmas Eve Baby.. Well this little sitting is so pretty but it just does not show in the picture, wish you could stop by and see it..

To you and your family..


Hope you enjoyed, Merry Christmas And God Bless You Every One!

Grandma's Little Peanut

I finally got to go meet Claire and O my goodness what a beautiful little girl she is. I wanted to bring her home with me but have to wait until she is a little bigger, maybe a lot bigger as she is not very big, infact she is not big at all, infact she is tinny tiny, and cute as a button.

Now, could you just eat her up?

Grandma's Girls

Claire Francesca Dobson 1 day old.

LuElle (Lulu) almost 4 months.

Look Who's Here

Our beautiful little Claire is here, thank you all so much for all your prayers, this is one special little girl. Merry Christmas to us..

Gramdma Got Some Drugs.

Yes I finally got some antibiotics. When I went last Thursday they said I had not been sick long enough. Well today when I called STILL SICK and with a grand baby coming any minute I guess they decided I had been sick long enough. Go figure.
Our baby should be here any time, they broke Sara's water and now we are just waiting, if you want to keep up with her look under my links , you can find updates and pictures there under Our Beautiful Claire Bear. They still need help with a middle name if you have any ideas. My vote is for Noel, Claire Noel Dobson. Tis the season.
Please keep our baby and her mama in your prayers tonight. We have waited a long time for this little baby girl. I love her already.. Hugs To all..
