This is my daily necklace. I never used to wear jewelry all the time but this is my staple. You may remember I talked about getting diamonds made out of Little Man’s ashes. Well, I did, 3 green ones. One for me and one for each of the girls. When they arrived (11 months after I sent in ashes) I had to figure out what I wanted. My AMAZING friend Kim does jewelry and set the stone in a simple gold tube charm. I love it soooo much. She also made me the K charm right after Kyle passed with his death date on the back. 😔 I love it too. Hubby gave me the KG charm for Christmas. I like the look of all of them together and it gives me such peace to wear. I got the diamonds made by Lonité which is a Swiss company that specializes in cremation diamonds. They were so wonderful and I got updates all along the process. We chose green because it was Kyle’s favorite color but there are 7 hues to choose from.
Little Man’s would have been 21 this past Monday. Rest in peace sweetheart. I love you❤️❤️❤️

I woke up in the mountains today under an unexpected blanket of snow!❄️ How fun. 😊 It wasn’t on the weather radar but I’ll take the beauty of it anyway. Hope you’ve had a lovely and relaxing weekend. XOXO Teresa❤️🩵🏔️
Hey there. A little radio silence over here, SO much travel, guests and craziness, whew. But, I finally have a break in the action to get some things done. I've been redoing my guest room since April. I had a bright pillow in there that didn't quite go (last photo) that I finally gave to a friend who loved it more than I did. Then, a neighbor gave me two huge bags of brand new pillow inserts, squeeee! I decided more color on the bed was needed. I do love a crisp, white bed, but always like a splash of color too. Harmony had given me a piece of beautiful twill that was just enough to cover 2 small pillows. The color is perfect and I love that it is organic cotton and blends perfectly. Hope all is well in your corner of the world--Teresa 🧵😊🤍🛏️
Just a big ol’ buck 🦌 posing in my hood. We are getting overrun with these creatures, it’s crazy. They eat EVERYTHING, even stuff they aren’t supposed to find tasty. 🤷🏼♀️ Wishing you a great weekend. XOXO—Teresa❤️🥰
Hey there. I've been knocking out some items on my to do list lately which always feels good.
Photos 1-3) Harmony wanted me to make a pillow cover from a t-shirt for a friend of hers. It's a fun and easy project, just make sure you use interfacing on the knit fabric so it doesn't stretch all over the place when putting in the zipper and sewing the sides. I also made a set of queen sheets with pillow cases out of her Franklin's Tower print organic cotton sateen (yardage available in my etsy shop 😊) for a birthday gift.
Photos 4-5) I whipped out a cute bag to carry our Halloween books for Little Girl (Ellica) when she goes to her nanny job 🖤🧡
Photo 6) I won an award for a new piece I made and entered in Art in the Redwoods. It's from a new series I'm working on called "Life Rules." This piece is called "What Remains-Kyle." Such an honor. 🥰 I'm working on several more in the series too. I'm excited to share them with you in the future.
Hope you have been working on some fun things too! XOXO--Teresa
I found this little gem while going through a few scrapbooks this week. It's Bagette Dad, me (on top of the sign) and my older sister on a trip through the Badlands in South Dakota. Much simpler times. Hugs to all--Teresa 📷 ⛰️❤️
Look at these lovely ladies, lovely dog and lovely bags/pet bed! All I can say is AWESOME Maine! Keep up the great work and I'm glad the machine arrived safely and is being put to good use!💚💚🧵🧵😊🥰💖 XOXO--Teresa

We recently received some nice fabric donations from 3 different Maine quilt shops that will keep us busy this autumn and winter. Yay!
Hugs from Southwest Harbor, Maine!

How about we end the week with these cuties? They are part of a herd of pronghorn (antelope) that reside near my cabin. Their fuzzy white rears get me every time!🤣 Have a fantabulous weekend! Teresa❤️
