Cabin Fever!

Something you may not know about me is that the Sweetie Man and I sorta have this long running fascination with cabins. If there is one thing that him and I have in common, it's our love of the log home. It's sorta our dream home. Any chance we get, we try to spend time in a cabin. Our first experience was at Cunningham Falls, a beautiful park in Maryland. We spent a few nights in a really nice little log cabin with my son there a few years back. We've also tented there but the cabins are the best. I love the cabins there so much, I had started a needlework piece I designed myself of the cabin we stayed in...of course, like many of my projects, it's not finished but someday will be...


I've also done some rock painting. That's alot of fun because I love to take things that are used or seen every day and make something from them. I know a few of you have my tampon angels which are one of my favorite recyclables. Anyway, I made this little log cabin from a rock I found.....


I love to do things from natural stuff too tho I'm not into flower arrangements. I do work with a scroll saw on occasion which I really enjoy.

Anyway, we both do love cabins and I'm rather excited that him and I found a place about an hour away from us that you can rent cabins. So the Sweetie Man made reservations and we're going camping in about a month....the best part will be that I don't have to board the dogs as my son said he will be home to take care of them for the weekend. He's at the age where he really doesn't cause a big fuss about going with us anymore and we can have some alone time. I don't think he is into camping anymore.....at least not at this time in his life....he's into the big city....he just came back from NYC and had a blast! Hopefully, this place will be as nice as Cunningham Falls and we can go a couple of more times this summer.

Finally, I finished the last of the cross stitch britterpuppy ornaments. This one is Chloe's....



My cross stitch store wanted to display them all for a little while so they are presently at Country Counter. That made me feel good cause, Donna, the lady who owns the store is a cross stitcher par excellence.


I signed up for a couple of things going on at her store. One is a Tap and Pin class on framing your cross stitch piece. I also signed up for a cross stitch get together where you just sit around and cross stitch with other ladies in the area for a couple of hours and have refreshments and get to know each other. I really do not know of anyone else who cross stitches as I do (or crochets or knits) in my town....tho I'm a little nervous about it, cause believe it or not, I'm a little shy about meeting new people, I'm doing it anyway. It's the second Wednesday of every month from May thru December and it's on a month to month basis. So we'll see how it goes.

Well, that's it for now.......enjoy your Saturday before Easter.....till next time, yinz crazy guys....
