Audra Rose	Posted - Oct 31 2016 : 11:45:11 AM We went to Kentucky for a church homecoming, and took some time to check out properties near Irvine that we saw on Zillow. Somehow our GPS got confused in the mountains, but we found the property I had my eye on purely by accident. It is everything that I want - a view, quiet, and a small house. The only problem is that we aren't ready to retire for anot her couple years, and can't afford two mortgages. I hope the LORD will keep it for us!

MaryJanesNiece	Posted - May 08 2026 : 2:05:02 PM Vanessa, your flower beds look great! It will look so beautiful with all those flowers blooming. Krista Farmgirl Sister #528 Farmgirl Of The Year 2025
Audra Rose	Posted - May 02 2026 : 2:22:01 PM Oof da! I am wiped out! The latest project was to plant something nice in the flower beds. I got some Stella d'oro lilies, dug out a trench, planted them with fresh soil and laid mulch along the porch edge where rain hits. The extra soil was dumped under the tall deck where I hope to plant ground cover roses. Vanessa Farmgirl Sister #6754

Audra Rose	Posted - Apr 27 2026 : 3:22:58 PM The newest addition to our home- a deck off the sunroom. Still waiting for the French doors, but I can squeeze out the side windows. Vanessa Farmgirl Sister #6754
nndairy	Posted - Apr 13 2026 : 12:11:40 PM Can't wait to see what your first project is! ~Heather “I would rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world.” — George Washington
StitchinWitch	Posted - Apr 12 2026 : 6:28:26 PM I sew my treadle belts together. It's quieter than the click click click of the sound of the staple. If, after time, your belt stretches you can just trim the end and sew together again. Poking the hole with an awl first helps. Judith 7932 FGOTM 6/21 6/24 12/25 I'm old and I wear purple
Audra Rose	Posted - Apr 12 2026 : 5:09:58 PM Just an update on Chantal (the singer). I've been fiddling with the belt, and it's almost tight enough, but the staple that's supposed to hold both ends together broke with all the on and off adjustments. So now I'll either sew the ends together with upholstery thread or drive to the sewing machine shop to see if the owner has extra staples. I've also looked up how to thread it, and am ready to go.

MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Apr 03 2026 : 3:57:55 PM Vanessa, I bet Rose is going to love her new expanded fence line! Hopefully she doesn't find any weakness. Krista Farmgirl Sister #528 Farmgirl Of The Year 2025
Audra Rose	Posted - Apr 02 2026 : 5:06:23 PM I've ordered the leather belt and looked up a couple tutorials on how to install it. In the meantime, I used our excess fencing to expand the dogs yard. There's a slight jog in the fence line, so I may use extras to smooth it out. Rose is exploring and checking for weaknesses. Vanessa Farmgirl Sister #6754
nndairy	Posted - Apr 01 2026 : 6:37:47 PM What wonderful additions to your sewing room! I can't wait to see what you stitch up on your new machine. ~Heather “I would rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world.” — George Washington
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Apr 01 2026 : 4:28:26 PM Vanessa, your treasures are beautiful! That expanding box is so neat! There is so much room for amazing things. Enjoy your new treasures. Krista Farmgirl Sister #528 Farmgirl Of The Year 2025
Wanda Sue	Posted - Mar 31 2026 : 12:55:59 AM Beautiful treasures Vanessa! My grandmas had one of those expanding boxes and I loved looking through all of the things. A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel. Farm Girl #3677 Farmgirl of the Month: Aug/2022
StitchinWitch	Posted - Mar 30 2026 : 8:32:12 PM Vanessa you are going to have so much fun sewing with your new machine. I have several treadle machines and love sewing with them. I also have one of those little expanding sewing boxes that my sister found at a thrift store. It's perfect for keeping patterns and spools.

Jokamartell	Posted - Mar 30 2026 : 6:37:25 PM I love this so much!! :) What amazing goodies! Thanks for sharing! Karen :) To quote one of my past preschoolers “Not one of those Karens, but a good Karen”! Haha
Audra Rose	Posted - Mar 30 2026 : 6:05:27 PM Whoa Nelly, it has been a while since I have posted any news, although February and March are the most boring months in these parts. Last Saturday my sweetie got me a 1898 Singer treadle sewing machine. It needs a new belt, and also had the accessory instruction book and the accessories. On top of that, we got a sewing box chock full of vintage spools, buttons, and other sewing items. My sewing room is getting a bit crowded! Vanessa Farmgirl Sister #6754
Nancy Joplin	Posted - Feb 03 2026 : 6:46:05 PM So sorry for the loss of your sweet baby! It is hard to lose a good friend. Nancy 8352 FGOTM Oct 2024
Red Tractor Girl	Posted - Feb 03 2026 : 08:00:15 AM Tina, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet and much loved dog. Oh how it makes one's heart ache to lose such a friend. Hugs to you today! Winnie #3109 Red Tractor Girl Farm Sister of the Year 2014-2015 FGOTM- October 2018
Audra Rose	Posted - Jan 31 2026 : 12:56:52 PM It's been one of those days. I had low tires and was adding air to them, but one tire had a valve cap stuck on. I'm leery of forcing it or applying heat in case I mess up the tire. Then there was a "pop" in the toilet tank and the water started running. We got a new set of innards and put them in. Now just checking that there's no drips. And we're still married. Vanessa Farmgirl Sister #6754
nndairy	Posted - Jan 24 2026 : 08:54:08 AM Sorry to hear you lost Tina! You can see how happy she was in that picture. Big hug to you!!! ~Heather “I would rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world.” — George Washington
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Jan 23 2026 : 1:04:34 PM Vanessa, I am so very sorry for your loss. This breaks my heart and I wish we could keep our fur babies forever. Krista Farmgirl Sister #528 Farmgirl Of The Year 2025
Audra Rose	Posted - Jan 23 2026 : 04:04:40 AM Thank you, sisters. Things are settling in a new rhythm, but I anticipate there will be days when I'll be reminded of her. I don't need to mop up puddles as much though. Vanessa Farmgirl Sister #6754
Wanda Sue	Posted - Jan 22 2026 : 09:00:34 AM So sorry Vanessa, love and (((hugs))) A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel. Farm Girl #3677 Farmgirl of the Month: Aug/2022
Killarney	Posted - Jan 22 2026 : 07:10:02 AM Vanessa, so sorry, I know she had a happy life with you! I love your comforter! Connie sue
