Cows out and about

The cows decided to check out the back yard....and then Brandon had to round them up. Just another day at the farm.

Happy anniversary tomorrow

Stopped for something sweet, besides Paul, to celebrate our anniversary. It's been 27 years....and it just keeps getting better. Happy anniversary to the man of my dreams.

Merry Christmas "light" 2015

Thank goodness I finished the holly as it is kind of a minimalist Christmas around here. Sciatica nerve issues since October, now know is a bulging disc.  So only a new to us small tree and nativity set from my mom made it out as decorations. So happy that she gave me the nativity now...loved it growing up.  The only thing missing is the real straw we would bring in for the manger.

Finishes from the studio

Spent some time in the studio and finished two Blackbird pieces. Both mom and I had stitched these.  Then mom sent me a picture of the wool applique white pumpkin pillow and the Rebekah Smith huswife I had done in April in Ohio. I had finished all the stitching and mom put the binding on. A very productive month.

Wool quilt in mom's dining room

Mom got a new floor in the kitchen and dining room.  We were hanging things for her and she had this quilt she was going to hang in her studio. I suggested handing it in the dining room as the new wall paint would go well with the quilt colors. The quilt is wool applique on cotton.

Lawn mower racing

Cool Saturday night and the roar of the lawn mowers. Both nephews race, but last night it was just Brandon. It was a great night and so much fun to watch. They go really fast and we saw several wrecks.

Fall wool

Fall decorations are slowly making their way out. On the list for tomorrow.  But the wool things were easy to start with and make me happy.
