A glorious Sunday!



Sunday was such a beautiful, glorious day! the temps were in the upper 70's with just a slight breeze and tons of sunshine. We went to the large park here in Nixa for katie's afternoon walk. We all enjoyed it. Then we piled back into the car and took a country drive. We passed some places I really want to take pictires of. We will do another drive in the same area next weekend to take those pics. Now here is a funny story about Sunday. First I must tell you that Katie greatly enjoyed her ride and walk. That said, here we go. I took Katie out into the yard for her after dinner bathroom break. Naturally she had to chase grasshoppers and she caught a big one! She played with him some and then proudly marched into the house with it. Then she laid it at Jack's feet while he was tending dinner. Thrilled him to no end! LOL! Katie looked so proud of herself as if she was saying thanks for the ride and walk here is a treat for you. She dragged that thing all over the house with her waiting for dad to take his treat. When she parked it on the sofa and wasn't looking, Jack disposed of the poor thing. When Katie realized her prize was gone, she looked at him as if to say, "Where did it go?" Jack thanked her for the present and told her it tasted pretty good with salt and pepper!!! GAG!!!!!!! Seemed to satisfy Katie though and she settled in for a nap. Yep, we are a crazy family! Oh and I put in a pic of the pasture behind us in fall colors.

Nearly done!!!


I am doing an early happy dance for sure. I am nearly done with my Gathering Honey project. I have one bumbler to cross stitch, one garden to cross stitch and a few more beads to add. Then a little outlining. I just spent a day and a half outlining when I picked it up again Friday. Keep in mind that I cross stitch an average of 4 to 5 hours a day. I thought I would never see the end of all that outlining! But I made it!! I didn't think it was that much when I started it but my word it went on forever! I will be glad to see this done.
For those who have asked. The music playing is the Gaither Vocal Band. And if you listen long enough I have Louie Armstrong on here doing What a Wonderful World.

Updates





Here are some updates for you. Jack found me a basket at a garage sell down the street. He got it for 2 dollars. Pretty good deal! I put a quilt top I haven't finished in it to bring the pillows up some. Then a course there is Katie working hard! LOL! And my finished tree skirt. All I need to do now is cut out the hole in the middle and do my sewing on it. And I finished the kitty for my friend. So it will be leaving soon. Guess that is all for now!

Villages




These are a set of villages from Jeremiah Junctions magazine Cross Country Stitching. I have one more done that I haven't photographed yet. I was feeling pretty smug 'cause I thought I was about done with them. So what did they do? They started adding more to them! LOL! I will never get them all done. But I will have fun doing them!

This is a first time book released on Amazon by Ginette Gagnon. It is a book of poetry and is called Freindship Forever Always. You should check it out! Ginette was an online friend of my hubby and I soon became friends with her. she is a wonderful Christian woman. I am so proud of her and excited for her as well!

Pillows and Katie-Bug




For some reason, blogger added Katie's pic twice. Sorry!

I wanted to show you the homemade pillows we have on our bed. Jack made the fan one and the lady one. Can't remember who put them out as he did them some time ago. I did the other two. I corcheted the one some time ago. Of course the dark blue one is Jerimiah Junstion. What more would you expect of me!!!? LOL! I have one more to do and then that will be it for the pillows on the bed.
On a happy note. I finished all the cross stitching on my tree skirt. Now I just need to do the sewing. i am doing a big timer happy dance!

Of course I had to put this pic of Katie on here. She was sunbathing yesterday! Must have felt prety good. My it was chilly on Katie and I's walk this morning. We got down to 33 last night and no snow like New York. However, I will say Thursday morning felt colder as it was windy. This morning was calm.
