Friday Flick Pick #1 Mr. Smith goes to Washington (1939) Staring; Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur. Director: Frank Capra Politicians in Washington believe that Jefferson Smith (Jimmy Stewart) a small town scout master would be the perfect to fit a vacant senate seat. They feel he would do and vote as told. But when he finds out they want to put up a dam up on his beloved camp for boys he fights for his rights and for the boys to the bitter end. Even getting cynical Jean Arthur on his side.
Jane’s vote 5 stars A super family film showing how one man can make a difference.
Starting tomorrow, I am going to start a new feature on my blog. It will be called
Friday Flick Pick We all love to quilt or stitch as we watch TV or movies. So, every Friday I am going to share with you a movie I enjoy. No, I am not a movie critic; just a gal who loves movies. If the movie sounds like something you might also enjoy, rent it and watch it over the weekend. One year, 52 movies, can I do it? So pop some popcorn, grab some candy and get stitching!! Feel free to grab the button and come and visit every Friday for
I seem to be having a streak of luck lately. It must be the “wee bit of Irish in me”. Rachel of p.s. i quilt was having a giveaway for a blog makeover. I won!! The designer was Lauren from Designer Blogs. She has hundreds and I mean hundreds of options to choose from; all of which are very reasonably priced. I asked for a little face-lift. A new header. New font title. New post dividers. And a new signature. There was so much more I could have chosen, but I am very happy with my new clean, crisp look. What do you think? Stop by her site and take a peek at all her goodies! Tell her,” Jane sent ya’”!!
It is so hard to believe that one year ago today, God sent us a slice of Heaven. A little angel that crawled into my heart and will tug at my soul for all of eternity;

In 1950, my favorite princess came to life through the Disney studios. I was not even born, but in 1960, I was 5, yes 5, way before color TV’S, VCR’S, DVD’S, Blue Rays, T-VO and computers. If you wanted to see a movie you went to the theater. If you loved that movie, you hoped it was shown on TV, if you missed it, you have to wait a year or more for it to be show again. As a little girl I loved princesses, but my favorite was Cinderella, and I had three that I adored. It started with the Disney version, how I wanted that blue dress…
I cannot tell you how many times I pretended to be Lesley Ann Warren, I was 10, and I wanted her dress too….
Then in 1997, Brandy, she did an amazing job….Now being older I wanted Whitney Houston dress!!
Even at my ripe old age I have always wanted to be in a play, on a small stage nothing big, but a home town play where family and friends would come and watch.
I can dream, Cinderella’s dreams came true. Who is your favorite princess? Let me know and I will send someone a surprise, next weekend!
In my younger years cross stitching and embroidery were my favorite crafts, even though I quilted, I loved to stitch. As in this postI have explained my eye site situation. So, I can longer cross stitch, so quilting and fabric now became my passion. BUT, Thanks go out to a lovely fellow blogger Kaaren Kaaren is the designer of many beautiful stitch projects. So, I thought if I can quilt and see to follow a line, why can’t I stitch? So, I gave it a try…
Now this is just a try, but I was delighted to see that I could actually accomplish this procedure. I even remembered how to make french knots!! I do not think I am ready for Kaaren’s work but I owe her a huge thanks for the push and inspiration to pick up a craft I use to do as a little girl. Please check out her blog tomorrow for her First Friday Freebie You will be delighted and inspired. Thank you Kaaren, from the bottom of my heart!!
