 Whoever came up with the term slow stitching nailed it!😆 my worse enemy is me "overthinking"😆 but this is my first go at slow stitching so I'm not stressing too much that I can't stitch a straight line 😆

Sunday Inspiration

 

Grace & Sadie

 We picked Sadie up yesterday,she will be with us till Monday 

We headed straight to the lake which was surprisingly very low ,Lake Nichols is a huge beautiful lake but it is lower than I ever seen any lake,where the geese were gathering there should be water but it was still beautiful with touches of Fall, wildflowers , Canadian geese, sun rays beaming off the water,yes no matter the circumstances you can find beauty

Today I'm going with friends to a quilt show ,tomorrow the pumpkin patch  with family & see what can be squeezed in-between 😆

My Taste Must Be Changing

 They say that as we get older our taste change ,food,color,style etc. I have never in my 60 plus years cared for pumpkin ,just to read or say the word🙊yuck yuck yuck😆 a few years ago I went over to the pumpkin spice latte craze but still no pumpkin pumpkin nothing 😆the pumpkin truffle I made a few weeks back wasn't too bad guess the cool whip muted the taste lol 

This morning I added pumpkin spice to my waffle mix 😆

Good Morning & Yesterday's Updates

 This morning will start with picking up where I left off yesterday ,I did get quite a bit cleaned up in the back yard ,some trimming & cleaning out flower beds

Grace likes to inspect the flower beds lol

All the grass out of the rocks

waiting forever for someone to trim these trees I decided to give them a good wacking myself 😆Grace didn't get her bath ,I was to tired my friend was sick so her Candy jars will get returned Today the thrift store was closed so the load for them will get delivered today,I spent to much time with my slow stitch journal to work on my quilt ,I see now why they call it that lol

I finally finished the Ann& Andy page ,the more I look the more I see that could be embellished but I'm done with them lol

I worked on this page trying to get it finished up ,just the three circles  left to embellish with stitches

The map pages are ready to embellish,LA for my Terry & his luv for snowmen ,we always got the new Hallmark snowman ornament every year& Ala map page for me ,I made raggedy s from traditional to primitive for over 40 years& we did shows for 30 plus years

These will be a work in progress in-between other pages as they will consume a lot of time ,so far I have 6 pages ,I thought about waiting till I had 10 pages to show but that seems eternal 🤣so guess I'll do it in spurts of 6 lol

A few backyard visitors ,there's now a female woodpecker visiting the feeder ,always luv seeing the chickadees ,cardinals,wrens,& baby bluejays ,I wish they'd stay together for a photo 😆

The Big Book Is Back!

 About a month ago I checked this book out then got into Dr.visits & surgery on my arm till I couldn't finish it

I'd gotten up to page 100 only 270 to go la 😆 last week I checked out again with high hopes to making it to the finish line ,our library will automatically renew your books after 2 weeks 

In the future I will pay closer attention to titles that have "annotated" autobiography 😆the larger print is the main autobiography as she's written it,the tiny print is the who's,what's, when's,how's,& why's of everything she writes,I feel like I'm reading  two books at the same time,but it's back!😆

I'm not sure I'll read today but will strive to finish it this time lol ,the weather started out with a chilly 55 this morning , slowly climbing up to the 80's  ,lots of odds & ends to take care of today , let's see how many things I accomplish today🤔

*straighten up the backyard 

*take back the candy jars I borrowed 

*load of things to purchase with a purpose thrift shop

* quilt binding

*slow stitching

*pay bills

*give Grace🐕a bath

Backyard Survivors

 Crazy weather gets thing crazy & confused when it comes to flowers especially mine,our weather the last few weeks has went from hoodie weather  to shorts weather with a snap of a finger😆I was getting ready to pull everything up & out & give the backyard a good cleaning when I noticed the tomatoes were coming back out even the squash🤣a potted plant all brown & dead looking with purple flowers all over it screaming don't toss me im alive!🤣
