It's getting down to that last details of decorating for my Tour Of Lights ,here's a little sneak peek of a few things
Today I went out of town with my friend Ree to pick up some bolts of sheer fabric those bolts looked 8 feet long long we let the back seats down in her car & they just barely fit,this was a fabric warehouse & we didn't even cover it all
but while I was there I got (2) 12"pillow forms @ $12 ea.
some pretty big remnants sold by the pound this was $6
19 spools of thread @ 79 cents ea. I never can find the softer black elastic ,I'm not sure how many yards is on here but he let me have the whole roll for $3
We had lunch at a sweet little cafe,for home & after helping her unload those big as life bolts I headed home ,tomorrow I will finish up fluffing & decorating for my Tour Of Lights coming up Wednesday,I don't want to have to do anything wed. but say come in!🤣
My niece turned 50 on the 12th& celebrated with hubby to a fancy Christmas symphony,he then planned a surprise party for Saturday evening ,a day out with the grandbabies ,dinner was in order before going to the mall to see Santa ,she wanted dinner at her favorite place,she got that ,& then some the manager was happy to be in-cahoots to the surprise telling them there was a wait then telling us they're here & when she came around that wall we all scream surprise!!
Just look at that face! LoL
You've seen me post pics of my sweet great niece & nephew Jens grands that if they weren't too tired after seeing Santa that they could stop by & help me decorate 2 more trees,little Livvy said oh we won't be tired😄
Grace is onboard with all this decorating 🤣
The weather has been unusually warm most days during this time of year & going from warm to cold within hours ,with Winter just around the corner Fall is just now busting out with all its glory
Warm today 😁freeze coming in tomorrow night🤷gotta luv crazy Ala weather😄
I am super excited for my best friend Ree who just got offered the job of custom making draperies for this house what a blessing!
Family life is still busy ,there's a surprise party planned for my niece who's turning 50 tomorrow ,Monday I'm going out of town with Ree to begin getting drapery lining ordered ,there's just 5 more days till my Tour Of Lights party & there's still a lot of decorating to do
When will I sew again 🤷 I will get some memory pillows made for another one of my nieces in between everything in the next few days so I'm just taking it one day at a time & see what happens sewing wise lol

This is a link to Marions World where she shows how she made her phenology wheel
Phenology is the study of seasonal changes, be it flowers, birds, migrations or simply the weather.
Have you came across anything different & interesting to try lately?
Do you have a love for little things? Throughout the sewing room there are quite a few little things that I hold dear like these cherished teddy's & Ann& Andy figurine gifted to me by my sister nearly 30 years ago
A teacup ornament holds sewing parts as I change them out,zipper foot,walking foot etc.
A teeny tiny iron is perfect for those teeny tiny blocks lol
The dish on the left was gifted from a friend & the white one from my daughter a few years ago ,they often get filled with bobbins when I have big projects to straight pins
