Windy Wednesday stitching!

Well hello!  I have been trying my hand at making new curtain tie backs.  My little tomato ones did not hold up so well.  These are pretty but very painful on my hands.  If I do continue on, it will take a bit of time to make the four I need.

And I am making progress on the Rosewood Manor piece.  The little saying area is done and now I am doing the dark green of the border.

We had another beautiful sunset last night!

Miss Sylvia watching the world from her tree.  She had just spend some time playing and being a complete nut, I guess that tired her out.

Thanks for visiting. Huggles and blessings.

Crisp cool fall days!

I love the cooler fall weather!  My skin is happier and I can actually be outside and enjoy myself without itching.  And I get treated to a lovely sunset like this one.

Have you heard about the Green Light A Vet campaign?  It is a way to honor military veterans.  We have ours going.

Okay now onto crafting!  I finished up a top I started before Jack had the flair up with his foot. Next I will make a skirt to go with it for Sunday church going.

Started and finished a couple goodies for two special sisters.

And other than working on my bedspread this week that is about all my craftiness.  Time for a little Sylvia Joy fun.

Thanks for visiting.  Blessings and huggles.

A bit late but anyway....

I am back.  My beloved Jack is still being troubled some by his foot and knee.  But he is walking some better today and no more crutches.  This is what his poor foot has looked like.

Now onto the fun stuff.  I am putting the border around the phrase on the Rosewood Manor piece. Hoping to get more done on it this week.  I may tackle the rest of the border.

I am also doing a bit on this scarf.  I just really wanted to try this color and this pattern.  I have no idea who it will go to yet.

Much progress is being made on the bedspread as you can see.  Jack came up with the wonderful idea of a different color for the border.  We decided a light coffee color would be nice.  Not sure yet what I will do with the border.  I have an idea but we shall see.

Someone thought she would steal a nap.  Can you find her?

We have had another glorious, lovely sunset this week.

And someone we know has been in hibernate mode this week.  The temperatures have been cooler and that makes for a nappy Sylvia.

Thanks for visiting.  Huggles and blessings.

Be back next week

The husband has been down for the count with his foot and knee.  I have not had time to get around to making a post.  I will be back Monday with one as he is a bit better.

This and that!

Been awhile I know but I have lots to share with you.  First I have been sewing on a top.  Nearly done with it.  It is a top that goes over another shirt.

And I have been buried under the bedspread.  The top is done and now I am working the sides.

I have had some wonderful help with this.  Don't you agree?

I also have some progress on the Rosewood Manor piece.

I also found a couple treasures at Hobby lobby last week. Hung the little sign over Sylvia's bed in the bedroom.  The other piece is in the kitchen.  Love the look on the little shepherd boy's face! The rest are my salt and pepper shakers he is sitting with.

We also visited the animal shelter. This little stink pot was so full of himslef nibbling my arm like an ear of corn.  Just before I took the picture, he chomped Jack's neck!

We have been treated to a lovely bright maple across the way and some stunning sunsets this week.

Lastly, some happies arrived yesterday.  I knew the pie plate was coming from a dear friend, but she also surprised me with the adorable kitty plate too.  Another friend surprised us with these cute little raggedy Ann and Andy dolls.

Thanks for visiting.  huggles and blessings.

Up to Mt Sequoia

 Jack and I picked a nice cool day Friday to go up on the Mountain. It was quite enjoyable.  Here are a few pictures for you. Lovely view looking west over Fayetteville.

 Lots of trees turning.

 This tree seems to be wearing a jacket!  They had torn down the shell of an old home.  I suppose they did this to protect the tree.

Some more pictures of the view.  The twin towers if I am not wrong are on the campus of the University of Arkansas.

An adorable little college we pass going up.

A few more pictures.  Yes you can come have a retreat here.

Jack and I are pleased you came along with us!
