Homestead Decor

When I discovered that the dream home of my twin and her husband was to become a homestead reality, I tried to figure out what the perfect housewarming gift would be. It didn't take me long to decide that a "Boot Quilt" was the ticket. Plus, when you give someone something that you 1) made, 2) is somewhat useful, they are bound to carry warm fuzzy thoughts with you year round. So there's that. Below are some final pics of our Tucson Adventure.

When asked by her children;

Q: What is their property?

A: Everything the light touches.

The Boring backside. She chose "yellow" as the theme color for her home.

A kindhearted friend helped me out with some Embroidery.

They're thinking of naming their homestead "The Yellow Barn"

and they got the key on May 31st.

A lot of sweat, blood, tears, sacrifice, prayers, faith and hope came before the dream. This quote is in reference to a conference talk (church speech by an apostle) by Joseph B Worthlin, Sunday Will Come. Indeed, they do.

It mattered not that it was 107 degrees outside.

We cuddled nonetheless.

My Dad spotted a horny toad. They look so fierce, but aren't mean at all.

So he scooped it up! He looks pretty happy to be holding the little critter.

The kids put together a performance for us. It was Cindrella-ish.
