A Little About Us

     Hello and welcome to our Yours, Mine and Hers blog. We plan to share some info about our website, life in the Heartland of America (Kansas and Oklahoma), and some helpful tips along the way. We still have much to learn, but I am certain that with the help of all our wonderful family and friends (both online and off) we will get the hang of this wonderful tool we call the web.

     Just to share a little bit about ourselves, we are a family of creative ladies who utilize our many skills and do a variety of projects from sewing and jewelry making, to yard baubles and candliers.

     There's Mom (Nina), whose primary interest is sewing and quilting. My mom is my hero. She is the strongest, most self-sufficient woman I know. And sew...WOW...Mom's been sewing for almost 60 years, she can see a photo of something in a magazine and sew something almost identical. Her attention to detail is meticulous, and her thrifty nature means she sews with durability in mind.

     There's little sister (Renee), who also has a lot of crafty talents and is focusing on signature sets of necklace and earring combos designed with today's expressive woman in mind. Among Renee's many other talents, she also handcrafts beautiful greeting cards and floral arrangements (we hope to see some of those on our website soon).

    Then there's me (Paula), or Magpie Polly as you see on the blog. Polly, because that's just a term of endearment my husband often uses, and Magpie because, like mother nature's magpie bird, anything shiny catches my eye. I love to create with glass beads and baubles, and mother has passed on her love of sewing, so I do some of that too.

     Enough about us for now. We hope you will visit our website at http://www.yoursmineandhers.com/ and most of all we hope you find the blessings in your day!
