Family Life

Farm life and the love of cows.

I went to Hobby Lobby a couple years ago and bought this cow picture.

 

 I can’t give you a good reason why I bought it, her eyes, up close selfie style picture?? Who knows, it spoke to me so I got it.

I happened to be there again and looking at the pictures. I bought another one

Isn’t she ADORABLE! I love it so much! I saw myself in her if that makes sense. Just like on my welcome page. She is so innocent and curious about the world and what it has to offer.

Then my husband and I went to Hobby Lobby to look for a gift for my sister and I saw this beauty. She was high up on the wall and I pointed her out and tell Steve “she will be next.” He said “Well let’s go see how much she is.”

I asked a sales associate who happened to be next to us and she went to get it, she was 40% off! So she became my Mothers Day gift.

She hangs on my side of the bed and I love seeing her when I wake up and right before I go to sleep. *sidenote I don’t know cow breeds or how they morph into what cows they will be* I like to think the little cow picture from above grew and developed into this beautiful goddess.

I felt like Steve’s side was naked and needed a little something to go with my majestic queen so we ordered this handsome Fella.

To be clear our decor throughout our house does not match or make sense. Our home is a collection of things that make us happy and that we love.

PS- I almost forgot I picked this one up because it reminds me of me and my sisters.

Similar right?? LOL

What’s for dinner tonight?

We are having pizza bread with salad.

I'm Olivia, I sew, cook and am part of a blended family. My husband Steve and I have nine children, four are his, five are mine. We have six girls and three boys ages 13-25. I learned to sew from my grandma Mary, my dad's mom. She made beautiful Raggedy-Ann and Andy dolls, pillows and clothes for her children when they were younger. I spent many weekends with her stuffing legs and arms, going to the fabric store and on occasion I went to shows with her to sell her beautiful makes. I had my first daughter at 19 and wanted to make her a blanket. I used my grandma's sewing machine and she guided me along the way, I think Mary, my oldest, still might have that blanket. Over the years I have sewn a variety of dolls, plush cuties, pillows and just started getting into sewing clothes. Welcome to my adventures in sewing, being part of a big family and my small part of the internet.
