Cooler temps this week

                                                    Cute  fairy house that I made this week

                      The temps this week have been a lot cooler then normal, I would say that fall is definitely here and winter might be trying to join in.    I have been getting a lot of small projects done and caught up.

                 The house is moving along,  The framers are starting and the kitchen cabinets have been ordered.  Just need to finish up choosing the flooring and a few other minor details.  and then I can stop worrying  about so much.

                     Here are some of the cute ornaments that I have been making.  Most are done with fabric, but some are done just using ribbon.  I hope that I can put up an ornament tree some where in the house next year.

                               Well,  that's all the news from the south,  
                                Happy" farming" to all the farm girl sisters out there.
                                See you next week. down on the farm.

What a week

                                                              Doe out eating in the back field

            Well, I went out and sat in the back blind a couple of times this week at night fall.   I got to see lots of wonderful tweety birds and two piliated wood peckers and a great horned owl and a few hawks and two small deer.  Of course I did not have the big camera,  just the small one,  so things are not super in focus.  But I did enjoy watching her and her friend eat.

            My new long- arm quilting machine has arrived, and I am now waiting on someone to come and set up the table and machine. I have 6 quilts sitting on the side table  all ready to go and I can not wait to get them done.

            I also have been working on a cute halloween project and got the painting done this week.

  I will show the finished project next week because I have just a bit more to do to finish it.

   

            Also this week  we got to see the concrete footers and slab for the garage being poured.  Hopefully the slab on the house will be Friday.  as the gentlemen are still working hard on getting things done.

             I have been working on some paint by number pictures.  This next one has lots of little spaces to fill in..  Anyone got some good magnifying glasses?

Pepper Sauce and Aprons

                                    A basket of Peppers from the Garden

Well,  I got out in the garden to do some work and ended up with a huge basket of peppers,  so I decided to makes some pepper sauce.  These peppers are not really hot,  more sweet,  so I added some onion, garlic and 2 Padron peppers , which are hot.    Blended and stirred and came out with

 a big pot of pepper sauce.   So then after canning,  I ended up with several jars of sauce and a big jar of pickled Padrons

        I also worked on getting some aprons made.   I used a very old pattern the Cathederal Window quilt squares for the top and a nice simple bottom .  I did two  different ones and gave one to a friend.

Getting caught up with life

                                 

                                          Sunflower swap from Mary Janes Sisterhood

   I have had lots of fun getting all my swaps done and getting them in the mail.  and now I am starting all over for this month.  At the same time I am working on getting some Jewelry done and also some quilting.  My new quilting machine should be here next week and I am getting excited

      Along the same line,  they have finally started on the house, and I am getting excited about that.
 They are starting the foundation this week and hopefully we can pour concrete by the end of the week.
