Historic Natchez Mississippi October 2011 Trip

Beautiful House and Grounds

We had a wonderful time in Natchez. We camped at the

Natchez State Park, just north of Natchez. It was a very nice and clean

campground. We were there for 5 days and met folks from all over!

Our plan was to visit Natchez for a couple of days and then travel up the Natchez Trace.

Well, we decided to stay at the campground for a couple of more days.

Only made it up the Trace to Jackson, MS.

Our plan now is to resume the Trace soon and follow it through to Tennessee.

I will post a few more days later of other historic places we visited.

Getting In the Thanksgiving Spirit

I have just added to my Etsy shop. More turkeys to come!!!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I love the time that we spend as a family up in the

country with loved aunts, uncles and cousins....and of course neighbors who stop by for dessert!!

Heading to Conecuh county, Alabama in a couple of short weeks.......did I hear someone say pecan pie!!!

Welcome to November!!!!!

Gooble...gooble!!

Friday Update

First I thought I would start by sharing this picture of a quilt that I believe to be made

by my DH's grandmother. It was found among the belongs of a uncle who passed away this pass March. I don't know for sure and no one else seems to know, but from the other quilts

I have seen of hers, this one is her style of quilting. She made the most

of the scraps she had and although they are not perfect or exactly color

coordinated, they were made for use. To keep her and her family warm on some cold nights.

Unfortunately, some of the quilt is in need of repair and I am going to do the best to repair it

for our family.

I have been hiding from my blog lately.....I am thinking I need an overhaul and just not sure where to begin. I call it "Rosinton Cottage" because I live in the little community of Rosinton in Baldwin county, AL. But to tell the true, I haven't done much around and about the cottage lately. Most of my doing has been in the sewing room. So I am posting some pics of what I have been doing lately!

Also I have been a little under the weather, I have RLS (Restless Legs Syndrome) and they have been giving me a lot of pain and sleepless nights. Doctors running test by still have not found

what is going on yet. Go back to doctors this week for more test..OH Boy!!

Here are some pics of Maddie in her "Feliz" from this book. She loves to loved to wear and twirl in her dress.

Also the latest dress I made is her "pumpkin" dress. I wanted to make a fall/Halloween dress without the scary designs. Found this great little pumpkin in Etsy here

Til next time and maybe I will work on that blog restyle....
