I have pledged to myself that I am going to finish some quilts I have begun. \u00a0I have a box full of them. \u00a0It’s fun to pick out new fabrics and piece a brand new quilt and I could do that every month, but there comes a time when one needs to finish what one has started. \u00a0So….<\/p>\n

This week I completed a Christmas quilt I started last year. \u00a0These sheep were as crazy to make as they are to herd. \u00a0Every single one of these sheep is sewn together wrong except for one. \u00a0Every one. \u00a0And it’s not the sheep that is facing a different direction than the rest as that is suppose to be the wayward sheep. It’s the only one sewn correctly. \u00a0I am sure if you look closely you will notice one big mistake I made on one. \u00a0I didn’t notice it until I had it half quilted. Anyway, as a friend of mine use to tell me, “you won’t see it on a galloping horse.” \u00a0Now I have to find the horse. \u00a0I didn’t follow the pattern maker’s design completely. \u00a0There was suppose to be a shepherd in this quilt, but I didn’t like how it looked so I made an extra sheep and this block.<\/p>\n

I like the way it turned out. \u00a0One project completed. \u00a0Check.<\/p>\n

I finished two other quilts that I cannot show because of the season coming up. \u00a0Two more projects completed. \u00a0Check.<\/p>\n

I made a skirt from some fabric I have had for quite some time. You can wear it this way.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9538\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or this way. Almost like having two different skirts. \u00a0We went over to Nashville with some friends the other day and I got a couple of tops that go with this skirt. \u00a0We have been to Nashville twice in two weeks and not one time did I remember to take pictures with my camera. \u00a0There was so much to photograph there but I was too busy looking.<\/p>\n

I put together this outfit and like it a lot. \u00a0Another project completed. \u00a0Check.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9528\"<\/a><\/p>\n

David and I took one morning and sealed the siding on our porch wall. \u00a0We make a good team and finished it within a couple of hours. \u00a0Now the wall should not \u00a0turn grey.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9529\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Project completed. \u00a0Check.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSCN9534\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I made a couple of brooches. \u00a0I have ideas for several more.<\/p>\n

Years ago, we needed a coffee table and there was a company where you could order furniture unfinished and not put together. \u00a0You built the furniture yourself and put your own finish on it. \u00a0So, I ordered this butler’s table and David put it together and I stained it a rich, deep brown. \u00a0It has served its purpose for many years. \u00a0The leaves on the table go up and down and most little boys and girls liked to lift the leaves up and down over and over. \u00a0Toy cars have been run on this table. \u00a0It’s been hammered, pounded and naturally distressed over the years. \u00a0David says you pay big money to get distressed furniture and we got ours for free!<\/p>\n

I decided it was time to redo the table so I am painting it a cream color and will distress it a little or will have some children over to do it for me.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9546\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m putting several coats of paint on it. \u00a0When I am finished with it, it’s going in my girly room.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9555\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A friend brought me this pile of luscious fabric. \u00a0I am so blessed. \u00a0I will use this for sure.<\/p>\n

Miss Molly Marshmallow is growing so fast. \u00a0She runs with the big dogs and doesn’t want to be separated from them. \u00a0She cries when I take Belle her walk even after I have already taken her on a walk. \u00a0She is doing really well on the leash. \u00a0Sometimes I let her walk herself and she will carry the leash in her mouth and walk along beside me.<\/p>\n

The chickens are molting right now and I won’t show you a picture of them because it would embarrass them. \u00a0One of them is completely bare on her backside, poor girl. \u00a0She stays in the chicken house and acts ashamed of her looks, but David said he noticed today that her feathers are finally coming back in. \u00a0The egg laying has been pretty sparse right now as the hens conserve their energy to grow their new feathers for the winter. \u00a0I still get two or three dozen eggs a week. \u00a0 The younger hens should start laying soon.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9548\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fall is moving right along. \u00a0Soon it will be Thanksgiving,(when I am walking a 5K that morning before dinner) then Christmas and then we will be right back to Spring again. \u00a0The seasons are running together now. \u00a0I love each one and especially love the cooler weather we are having right now. \u00a0Hope you are having a wonderful Autumn. \u00a0Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
