Tim Cummings Cancer Fund

As many of you know our brother, Tim Cummings, has been diagnosed with Colon Cancer (see full story below). We recently found out that he is now at a stage 4 instead of a stage 3 (meaning that they have found a tumor on his liver now) It is very small at this point and time and they are making decisions as to what course of action to take first (surgery to remove it or blast it with chemo) The doctors are saying it depends on the person and their outlook as to how strong his chances are at beating this. Since Tim and his family of eight children do not have any health insurance this is catastrophic for them. We have set up a donation button on the right side of our blog for any of you that might want to assist the family in any way. We are so grateful for all of your kind thoughts and words to us. We will be keeping you all informed as we go along in this process. Thanks again to all of our blogging buddies.

From now on we will be posting more stories on home decor, cooking, family, sewing and fun stuff to keep our minds busy so that we are not constantly worrying about our cute bro. 🙂

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
