Whatcha Working on Wednesday

So today is a nice day outside, only going to be around 75! I'm thinking a nice day for the park with the lil guy since both girls are in school today. This will be a short post cuse I wanna surprise him :)I'm finishing this Willow Tree pillow up for a swap with Kimberly from http://mybrownbagstudio.blogspot.com/...I had put it down unfinished to do a special order and now I have a reason to finish it! I hope you like it Kimberly :)
So this is my DH's office today, he has the option of working from home on some days since he is the Lead Computer Network Engineer at work...Yes, I'm bragging! He does work hard!!

And this is Church....he looks like that cat from the Stephen King Movie...I can't remember the name now...Anyone know it? Church thinks that he lives here and we come out to visit him..LOL..One of my many barn cats.

So I guess the only thing I'm working on today is my Stitchery..LOL..

My FALL Swap from a Prim Forum

I belong to a great Prim Board and we had a FALL Swap, I got my package in the mail and WOW I'm loving everything, my house smells so good with the candle and I hung the pumpkins/sunflower cone in my kitchen. Terry sure did spoil me! Thanks so Much :)
Come over and say "HI" to everyone at "Creative Home Keepers", Great bunch of Ladies :)

My Mulch Ready Flower Beds

We worked so hard this past weekend getting the flower beds ready for some new mulch, they have been sadly taken for granted and they were showing it, now they are calling for some fresh mulch. My new mums are so pretty and are full of blooms and G'ma Terri brought a surprise on Sunday for our flower beds, a huge BOOT planter...What every farm family needs in their garden!




Woke up this morning and saw some happiness under our bird feeder, a baby sunflower, I love to look out the kitchen window and see this lil beauty standing tall!

The trumpet vine is crazy this year, we really need to cut it back again before Winter.

Yesterday I ran to Jo-Ann's with my mom and the lil guy while sissy's were in school, I saw some great Fall decorations but some of them after looking at..I think I could make it! i was also looking for the new Gooseberry Patch Fall/Autumn book but they didn't have it, I did pick up a book on "Green" Cleaning...Very interested in this!

Enjoy your Tues.! It's rainy here this morning and I'm enjoying it with my coffee :)

A Fun Give-Away

Here is another give-away from Lisa at http://blacksheepprims.blogspot.com/2008/09/lets-celebrate-my-birthday.html
Go over and enter, how perfect for a corner of my shelf..lol..

Bittersweet Or Not?

It is an overgrown bush on the side of my garage, has very small thorns on the branches...My MIL was over today and said that it was Bittersweet but I thought bittersweet was like a wild vine. Any of you Ladies know? If not bittersweet then what?

Fall Decorating ~part 2

I finished this yesterday, I love the White pumpkin on top of my buffet, It's a soup bowl but I think this year I shall stuff it with candy..LOL.. I added a mix of fake and real guards. Last night I pulled out my Gooseberry patch book for Fall..I just learned that there is a new Fall Gooseberry book out and it's on my list to grab up soon.


Today is Abigail's second day of school, she was so happy to ride the bus again with Sissy..She is now starting her full schedule of EVERY other day..I just wish it was every day..she gets sad on her days off...so far! Since it's just the lil man and I ...we are going to go visit G'ma today.

Enjoy your Fri :)

Decorating for Fall, Would Enjoy it More if it Wasn't in the 90's

I've started to Decorate for Fall, I pulled my boxes from the basement and found out that I have a huge lack of decorations unlike some of you!

Here's a question for ya'll, how do you get your house to smell yummy WITHOUT using candles?


HOSS and Pipen waiting for breakfast this morning
My mums that DH surprised me with last night, It has been way to hot to pull weeds but this weekend is chore time!
My Scarecrow that DH came home with, He Welcomes you as you pull into the drive.
Fall wreath at the back door, We use the back door only now.
My bay window, pine cones..dried flowers.. pumpkin..smells good in this corner!

This pic didn't turn out great but I put orange lights on the mantle and little pumpkins on the sides of the Freedom sign.
Added this little Scarecrow Welcome sign to the telephone table.

Whatcha Working on Wednesday

I have been busy finishing this pillow which was a special order, It's not very big..I focused in on it for detail. The angel is a diff. blue than the words and I like how the backing turned out on this! It's lightly stained too. I do hope she enjoys this little Angel!






I have also started on my very first T2T project, I was given thsi old Home Interiors Mirror, I like the frame and had a Stitching Idea come to me this weekend, I took out the mirror and will Stitch our Last name and frame it. I got far last night but today I need to run to Wal-Mart for some of that great $1.00 spray paint..Wish me Luck cuse I've never spray painted a thing!!


So today I'm cleaning and doing laundry, I have started to decorate my house for Fall and I'm excited about the pics...Will post them soon! Enjoy your Wed. :)

Labor Day Apple Picking

G'ma Terri came over this weekend for a short visit and our First Apple Picking Day! We checked the Apples and some were ready to be picked but others need some more time in the sun. We think around the middle of the month..of course we are not really sure, first time having an apple tree (and we have 5)!

Yesterday we had a BBQ with my mom and sisters..We sat around and watched" No Reservations" and "Becoming Jane" plus we ate way to much cake!





Please help me out and send me your Apple Recipes..I'm going to attempt to make a pie, applesauce and hopefully Apple Butter...and with 5 trees...I better get cracking!
