I found a little time to start this journal of building our DREAM shop, warehouse and Retreat house…I will try and share all the details each week…and now that a month or so has gone by there is some things to show…
The first picture is Brandon and I….He is the man with money…He was in my corner from the beginning to sell my dream to the bank board and make this happen…
Corey, from Keller, the builder…Collin, site panning and surveying. Jim and Keith from Keller…Mike and Brad…my brothers from August Winter who will take care of the HVAC…This is the crew that will be hands on building the actual building.
Everyone who came to the Ground Breaking..
Most of our Awesome Employees…
The Town of Winchester crew..they were on-board from the beginning and made this easily happen with zoning and permitting..I could not wait to run up this hill and let the excavating begin!
Here, we brought the boys out to have some fun…
We tried flying the dragon kite…no wind…
My grandson’s had a blast with the big trucks….one is a little more cooperative for pictures than the other.
The first of the footing’s going in…
and the here is the current situation as of this week. 11/24/2020..walls and footing’s all the way around!
Pads for the interior columns…
all for now…until next time…LB

Please, WEAR A MASK!!! Social distance.
I am so excited for you and loving seeing your dreams being built! 💙🦆
I think this is just Amazing for you and all your crew. You have been truly Blessed. I know from your story that the road has had many twists and turns. Much Happiness and some terrible Sad times. Never doubt that you deserve this.
Thanks for sharing your joy and dreams. Happy Thanksgiving. Patricia Streeter
Wow! They’re really moving along! Love keeping up on the progress. Enjoy the journey! 🐑
How exciting to see dreams being fulfilled in this tough year. Congratulations. Wishing good health, good weather & no building delays for everyone involved.
Lisa, wishing all your dreams come true. You have a great vision!
Wowza! Great start! Can’t wait to see the finished complex. Thanks for sharing!
Can you even sleep at night?? That is so exciting to see progress!! Thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to watching as you move along!! =:)
This says so much of who you are and the business that you have built. I can’t wait to shop there and I also hope to take some classes at the retreat.
Wow…..love the pics, especially the sweet boys. Congratulations! Nice to see dreams come true…Happy Thanksgiving…
I can feel your joy coming through- so exciting! All your dedicated years and hard work. It is so nice to see your dream come true.
I love your stuff. I am continually inspired by your story and stores. I am thrilled that you are expanding and growing when we have lost so many inspirational shops.
That being said, you’re representing something so many of us love…please be an example and require that masks be worn. This is not a hoax. Hundreds of thousands are ill and dying. I want you and your talent to be around for me. Yes, I am selfish…. and I care.
I wish you all the luck in the world! A fantastic project. My husband set up an animal hospital from scratch a few years ago and we know all the joys and pitfalls of such an undertaking, it’s hard work but worth it in the end! Stay sane!
congratulations!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family:)
Amazing,praying that everyone on the crew is safe and your dream comes true
So wonderful to see. Congratulations again!! Enjoy the process . . .
Congratulations, Lisa! You’ve worked so hard to build your business and it’s nice to see it continuing to flourish.
I am hoping some day to get back to your neck of the woods and check your new digs out!!
This is so awesome!! You have opened up a new world of wool appliqué for me that I absolutely love. I would love to travel to Wisconsin from Texas to see what you are creating. Thank you for sharing your progress and connecting with all of us. Best wishes for a blessed Thanksgiving.
Congratulations to you Lisa! A blessed and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
This is going to be so AWESOME! I hope someday I can come visit!

How excited you must be! Congratulations on getting to see your dream take shape. Life is always full of joy when you have littles in your life! They have a different way of seeing things and are so forthcoming with their thoughts. This is definitely worth looking forward to.
