Hello ladies, my name is Amy, and I live in Talleyville, Delaware. I am a musician (and I've also had my share of day jobs to help keep body and soul together!), currently mostly retired to help my family. My mom, who is 93-years-young, lives with me. I have one daughter, a registered nurse who is also in graduate school, and one granddaughter, 2 years old. I take care of my grandbaby while her mommy is working and in school. I'm really enjoying this time in my life, as I am able to pursue some of my interests like cooking, sewing, needlework, gardening and crafts. I am very happy to be a part of this group, and hope I will have some things to offer, and I know I will learn a lot. Thank you so much for inviting me, and I'm going to jump right in ! Happy Day and BIg Hugs! :) |
Happy Day!
Peace in our hearts, peace in the world

| Hey ladies, thank you for the invite! My name is Maryellen, I live in and love North Carolina. I was born in Michigan and raised in Florida. I live in the country but right outside the big city of Charlotte. I am married and together we have 8 children. 7 daughters and one son. All are married except the baby who is 24. I am Mimi to 15 grands. I love crafting of any kind. Sewing, quilting, paper crafting, card making scrapbooking etc. I love the quick craft, something that I can make and see results in a day or two. I started piano lessons 2 months ago. I am really struggling but also really enjoying learning. I love anything outside, gardening, birds. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Farmgirls. I love the swaps and I have met some of the most amazing women! Looking forward to getting to know you. Maryellen |

Hi ladies! I guess who post bios here? :)
My name is Alicia, I am 34, a SAHM/ sometimes WAHM. DandeeRose is my sewing biz name. IT is a combination of a childhood nickname (Dandelion of Dandie) and my middle name, Rose. I live in SW (almost SCentral) Indiana on 2 acres of mostly woods. My husband, Matt, and I have been together since we were 16. We have 4 children; Isabelle, 13, Gabriel,5 (yesterday), Sawyer, 2, and an Angel, Levi who passed away in a car accident at 16 mo. He would have been 9 this year. I homeschool and we try to do as much as we can on our own. Aside from sewing, I love to cook, especially with local and in season, and I am slowly working on a cookbook. And I have a library in my home, so we are always reading around here! We have rabbits (my daughter's project and biz, Belle's Bunnies), Chickens,cats, and a German Shepherd puppy (7 mo), Araya. We grow a decent garden, but LONG for more space. We have prayed and continue to pray about this. We are just waiting for the perfect place. Last month we too a vacation to the Ozarks in MO to look around. We feel a strong pull to the area. We have looked a lot in KY, and online we have looked in ID, WA, and even Chile!
Hmmm.... I suppose that is a very basic picture of me... except you may want a real picture! HA!!! Here I am last weekend in a Farmer's Market skirt I made!

| Hey there Alicia! I think there are still a few bugs in the system with our access. I haven't been able to post on the Book discussion topic. It'll all get straightened out eventually, I guess!? |
Happy Day!

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done.

Just follow God unquestioningly.
Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.

Hi Alicia,
That is a really cute skirt! I think the stop sign might come when you get your membership, but I can't remember that is why or not.
You are a busy lady too and with your children they are doing well.
Please accept my condolences for your son.
I am sure you will enjoy it here it is a lot of fun and very sweet people. I am always willing to learn something new so if you have a new swap, I will most likely join it.
Welcome to the HH
hugs

Welcome Alicia. You're the one with the cool skirt!
I'm new too. I am Bonnie from Minneapolis, MN. I have been married 53 years to a wonderful man and we have two grown sons, 2 cats, 9 koi, and adopted chickens (next door). I have been a newspaper editor, writer, quiltmaker, teacher, cartoonist, artist and farmgirl. I grew up in Minneapolis and spent summers on my uncle's farm in Southern Iowa. We had gurnseys, hampshire hogs, chickens, sheep and one horse. I collect barns (small ones), small rolling pins, fabric and mason jars. I call my fabric stash my archives since it has fabric from some many eras. I used to repair old quilts. I am president of the 800-member Minnesota Quilters organization I helped start 37 years ago. I had the privledge of designing and making the 100th anniversary quilt for Itasca Park, the headwaters of the Mississippi River. I like to read, garden, participate in the River Valley Farmgirls and get to know new people. Thanks for inviting me to join.Welcome Alicia. You're the one with the cool skirt!

| Amy, Mary Ellen, Alicia and Bonnie welcome. I recognize your names from some of the swaps. I think it is neat that we older ladies can come together here with you who are so youthful, sharing, caring and learning. |
