Pink Saturday Featured Blog

 

This week I am featuring Susan at Blackberry Creek.

 

  Susan.  I feel like I have known her for years, but I really only know her on-line as a blogging friend.  The first time I ever visited Susan's blog, I knew she was a very special lady.  And, of course, I fell in love with The Yellow House.  Yellow is my favorite color, and I've always wanted a yellow house.

Susan invited me in to visit, and she and her Vann immediately seemed like next door neighbors.  They were good people - the kind of people who live their lives well and are always there loving their family, their friends and God.  Their love story is one to warm your heart.

Susan and Vann were sadly faced with an illness that took Vann to Heaven.  They shared their love for each other and their love for God.  I cried many tears as I prayed through their journey.  They were an absolute testament to their beliefs.

Susan is always amazing.  Her talents leave me speechless. 

Take a minute to go meet Susan,

and please introduce yourself.

You will soon call Susan friend, too.

 

Susan has written the follow personal message to you.

 

• Susan at Blackberry Creek Home Arts

Hi there. I'm Susan Ramey Cleveland. My blog, Blackberry Creek Home Arts, came into existence exactly five years ago yesterday, November 30, 2006. I began it as a way to record my quilting projects, but it quickly took over as a record of all the little things that make up my life.

Blogging (as well as the wonderful friends all over the world that I have met through blogging) is now an important part of my life. I update Blackberry Creek almost every day. There's always something to show and tell: my quilting and other projects, my family, my dogs, my home.

 

I hope you'll take a minute to visit me, Sophie, and Skipper at home at The Yellow House on Blackberry Creek. We'd love to "see" you.

The living room at The Yellow House, decorated for the holidays.

We like  to celebrate Halloween too.

In fact, Autumn is our favorite time of year.

Sophie Belle Patterpaw is my 10-year-old schnoodle.

Skipper Lou Blue, shown here with his favorite toy "Blue Toy," came to live with us last year. We think he's a smooth fox terrier, or maybe a rat terrier. Friends of mine picked him up hiking down the main road near The Yellow House.

Making quilts is what I like to do best (followed closely by reading good books). This is the quilt I'm currently hand piecing. I call it "Blackberry Creek." It's made from patterns from a Piecemaker's calendar.

I made this banner to hang in my church's narthex.

My philosophy in a crocheted sampler.

This Pink Saturday I'll share

a little more decorating that I've completed.

I am hoping to finish this weekend.

We're making progress in our dining room,

and I am hoping to finish that this weekend, too.

Soon I'll have lots of photos to share.

Here are some shots of our mantel.
