Our Motto

Busy Hands are Happy Hands~Keep Creating!
My Photo
Elizabeth and Gary
Modesto, Califorina
Welcome to "Our Home" Home is Where the Heart is. Our Motto: "Busy Hands are Happy Hands" Gary and I have been married for 37 wonderful years. We have been blessed with two amazing and beautiful daughters Desire' and Bernadette we have two precious grandchildren, Aleena and Ty that we adore. Together Gary and I have tried to create a restful and peaceful country cottage home for our family and friends to visit. We have always loved to fuss around the house and garden and to create new things out of vintage hand me downs.We love anything hand made and have hand made quilts, blankets and pillows in every room. We hope you enjoy your visit with us and if along the way you see an idea or something you like, take it with you and make it your own. We keep the porch light on, so stop by any time.
