Hello Friends!

To My Mother
You too, my mother, read my rhymes
For love of unforgotten times,
And you may chance to hear once more
The little feet along the floor.

-Robert Louis Stevenson

I LOVE the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson. They touch this mother deeply. Sadly poetry, something even the manliest of men would quote and pen is being lost to many of the the younger generation. My own included.


Oh to go back in time, just an hour or so for each year of my children's lives! How quickly the time goes! My youngest now seven, my middle almost driving, my oldest not quite 19, and a father himself. Do you ever long for a few more moments in the rocking chair singing lullabies, or laughing at your little one's joy in the simplest of things? Sometimes my heart aches for it.



So a prayer from me for your children and mine.............

From my home and heart to yours,

FREE image Day............................

Hello Friends!

When I first started this little blog in a tiny corner of cyber space I had a bit of an idea of what I wanted to do...... I haven't done hardly any of it!!! I keep having camera problems, time and health issues, yadda, yadda, yadda. It can be time suckingly addictive! I haven't been spending the time I should, or would, like. It is easy to get lost in the wonder and joy of blogland! I hope to re-vamp in the next few months, parcel out my time into a better schedule, and actually turn Home and Heart into the place I originally envisioned when I started.

I hope to continue seeing you here. I often rip through your blogs without commenting, so forgive my rudeness, but I am still impressed! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

From my home and heart to yours,

WHAT are you making Wednesday?.................Link up

Greetings and Happy Springtime All!!

I hope you are getting lots of sunshine. I love walking outside and smelling the scent of mowed lawns. Hearing the birds sings, children giggling, and seeing new buds beginning. Spring is one of my favorite times of year.


Here is a box I made for a swap. This was only the top. My partner was from the Netherlands. I am looking forward to snooping around your lovely blogs and seeing what you are up too!!


If you would like to share what YOU are making link up!!

From my home and heart to yours,

WHAT are you making Wednesday?.................

Happy Wednesday Friends!

We have all had the flu and sore throats at the Home and Heart household. Since I am behind there will be no link up today. :-( I hope you are all feeling better than we are. My poor little grandson had to go to the Dr. he has RSV, a respiratory infection. SO scary! He thankfully seems to be doing better.

Ladies I don't know how you do it! All the creating, blogging and homemaking, and taking pictures of it all too! You are amazing!

This weeks pic is a paperclay pendant I made that was inspired by one I saw in one of the Somerset magazines. Paperclay is totally addictive! I tinted it a very pale pink with stamp ink.

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a peek!

From my home and heart to yours,
