My name is Mary. I have been married to my dear hubby for 14 years. We have 4 children and 2 in heaven. My favorite hobby is knitting. I am also an amature sew-r. My favorite thing to knit is infant gowns.
As you have probably met my mom (Holiday Angels, Sugar) on here she is a wonderful lady. We are the bestest of friends.
I taught her how to knit. 
Anyway I founded the charity Heavenly Angels in Need after the loss of our daughter Mariah Belle and also my 2 premature sons. I knew the need personally and Jesus put it on my heart. As any of you beleivers know God always uses are situations and turns it around for His Glory! And that He is doing. As you probably know we have a website heavenlyangelsinneed.com and we also have a bereavement site heavenlyangelsinneed.org
We have 2 forums 1 for crafts and 1 for bereavement. We started in April 07, 2003 became official (gov standards) in April 2006.
Anyway I am most excited to get to know you all and am so honored and excited to be here! My mom loves it and tells me all about it, I had to join 
Blessings, Mary

Carrie,
Love the picture brings back memories. I have raised much and canned much in my lifetime!!
Oh yes, there are lots of children around and if that isn't enough we have lots that we do for in our charity, my part of course being the children's division.
I have been born and raised in Oregon, although I have traveled much across the United States. I used to drive truck cross country so I have seen a lot and lived in many states always coming back here. Tennessee is beautiful in the Smokies. We had parked on the side of the mountain and looked over the canyon's and watched a logging truck with jake brakes ripping across the silence, reminding me of my Uncle Lloyd driving his log truck in Coquille, Oregon.
Anyway, I love country and have experienced much that I am not ashamed of and am now settled, somewhat, near the town I was born at home and delivered by my father, totally middle child, sixth up or sixth down by Brownsville, Oregon, town where they shot "Stand By Me" the movie, which looks pretty much the same as there!
Long winded, huh?
Nice to meet you!
Hugs,
Pauline

Holiday Angel-
It is funny that you would say such a thing about NY. In neighboring cities I am teased about living in Argyle. They say, "Oh, I hear that cows out populate humans there!" I think they are right, although because I live so close to Saratoga Springs (home of the famous race track!) we now have very many horse farms. I have three new horse farms near my home just this summer!!!
Anyhow, I live in upstate NY, hate being in the city, never even go to Albany if I can help it, love the quiet of my little hometown, but long to move south!! My husband and family like to hike in the Adirondack mts which is probably why I love Tenn because of the Appalacians.
We do have a lot of agriculture here too including many organic veggie farms and very popular Farmers Markets.
Here's a photo of my own recent harvest...
Sounds like you have a big family! I have five children...3 sons and 2 daughters, but no grandkids yet. Can't wait!!!
Hope to see more of you later!
Carrie

I love to read, knit, woodwork & burning, oil paint, paint with acrylics and make memory boxes for families that lost little ones.
Hope to get to know you too!

Hello Gals! Thanks for the wonderful welcome. I'm still learning how to navigate the forums and find my way back to chats that I am involved in. This is so much fun and I feel connected again after many lonely years. I'm grateful to my chapter leader for inviting me to be a farmgirl!!
I'm trying to post a photo of my sunflowers out front...they are soooooo pretty and this photo actually came out well on my daughters new digi cam. I have to get one for myself!! I'm a little techno rebellious and don't like to buy stuff like that, but now I want to share pictures!
I hope this works!

Becky,
I have a cousin, 92 years old now, there in West Virginia, that used to own a huge farm there. She is now in an apartment and lonely, but you may have heard of her. Her name is Ethel Briggs and I am just now in the process of writting her. She was our family historian for over 50 years and worked with Red Cross until she had to retire 30 or 40 years.. Nice to meet you..Pauline

I love the name Talitha, where in the world did your parents find it? Is there a secret story behind it along with the beautiful poetry? ((squeezes)))

Welcome! So glad to have you with us here! It is wonderful when we can find a silver thread in sorrows that come our way! It reminds me of one of my favorite poems
"This old world we're living in
is mighty hard to beat
We get a thorn with every rose
but ain't the roses sweet"
I wish you the best as you help others!
See you round the farm!
Hugz!
Talitha

Welcome to both Carrie & Mary! You both just made a ton of new best friends!
Mary, thank-you for your testimony. As a fellow Christian it is so encouraging to hear someone sharing their faith.
Carrie, I am a western NY gal (via the UK!) What town are you in? Maybe we can have tea!!!
Hugs to you both.
Angie.

Hello Girls!
I am new at this sort of interaction and may need help. I am a new Farmgirl member in upstate NY. I mostly raise children and chickens at this point: 3 sons, 2 daughters, 17 hens, and 2 roosters (not in the same coop!). I love gardening, stitching of all kinds, reading, and writing.
I look forward to talking with you all and sharing patterns, ideas, hopes, dreams, and all things FarmGirl!!
Carrie
