Getting ready for the new Year

                                   A row quilt that I did this year.  Chose all the fabrics for it as well.

                     I have been working on finishing up all the quilts that I can before the beginning of the year.  I still have a few more to do,  but think that most will get done in time.  I have only two left to piece and 5 to quilt, which I will be starting in the morning.

                  The Framers started working this week on the house.  I will have photos of that next week since my phone is not cooporating and letting me download photos.  Hummmm.  But the framing should be done soon and them all the fun starts with having the plumer, electrician, the drywall guys, the finisher guys, the roofers and the tile man all there about the same time.

               Two more of the quilts that I have done,  the top one is the fall quilt from the quilt swap from MJF

                I got a new toy for the farm.   I am tired of walking thru the wood and getting my foot caught on vines or dead wood and faling.  so I bought myself something that will help.




                                   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.

A Week of Busy



                  Quiet time in the woods.   Sitting at one of the blinds waiting to see if I could see  any wildlife.  (Nope)

               We started mowing in the woods again.  I was out taking a walk and managed to get my foot caught in the weeds and nearly face-planted myself on a tree stump.  So I have the work crews out and mowing and burning  debris that is laying around.  We have also gotten some good rain and that is going to get stuff growing again, since the weather has been so warm.

       I have been out and about taking photos of Christmas and lights and all and having a great time with it.  I have also been busy finishing up all the farm girl quilts that we had for this year. as well as a few others.  I hope to have some great weather where I can lay the finished ones out and get some phots of them.    I have also been planning this years garden and getting things ready for that.  Right now we have Lima beans , squash and sweet potaotes growing.

                            Here is wishing everyone a great and wonderful Christmas.

Concrete

                  A welcome site this morning,  the concrete trucks pumping the slab for the house.

So,  at 7:30 this morning,  three trucks showed up and we now have the slab to the house.  Hopefully the framers will start Friday, or Monday at the latest an we will be on the way to a finished house.
  Something that I have been playing at for a show for this year.  I have several designs in my head and hopefully I will make all of them work.   Shows require a lot of pre-planning and  I need to get started know to get paperwork done and supplies in.
                                                           Foggy morning on the farm

                                 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.
