FALL MEMORIES

Out of all the Fall Annie's, I think  Annie's Scarecrow has to be my favorite to make & she was always a good seller

In an older issue of Country MarketPlace I came across the pattern for Autumn Annie, I was very pleased that she was true to size to the pattern, she was also made up for a giveaway on my blog a few years ago Candy Corn Annie made her way into many a hearts, I never tired making her Candy Corn was always a  good show seller

You can create these little pillows by cutting & sewing  a 5” /4”/3” squares  A few years ago I joined in on a  doll swap & this is what I received from my swap partner, aren’t they just the sweetest ? they still get to sit out as I still love them For the Fall  my Horn of Plenty will replace the pitcher of daises

 

pumpkin pie will replace the crow pie

The rooster is happy that he gets to stay lol

THINGS TO GET INTO

 Do you ever find things to get into or do they find you? LOL I’ve been trying to find things to get into in a few weeks while  hubby is out of town lol I came across a  lot of sites for making rag rugs,

http://www.sugarbeecrafts.com/2010/02/rag-rug-tutorial.html?spref=fb 

anybody ever make one & have a good link to recommend? I will more than likely work on my quilt that I’ve been working on for ages if it’s not finished by then, which I hope it is, being so busy since the tornado, there’s lots of jellies  to be made, freezers full of peaches, grapes & wild blackberries so that should keep me busy for a day or two lol

I’m working hard on getting that sewing room where it doesn’t make me scream, anybody got any ideas there? I painted it what I thought was going to be a soothing yellow but it is not a calming  atmosphere to me lol the big plans are to have everything caught up inside & out  & have a week of living in the sewing room , movies, good books, long bubble baths,get my toes done, yea yea dreaming right?  I wont have to find things to get into, they will find me LOL

FRIENDS & QUILTS

my pastors wife's mother MS Annie Lee Ragsdale is one of my sweetest & dearest friends , a few of us went to stay with her a while back to help set up  to the world of internet ~lol~ this is one of the many quilts she pulled out for us to admire, we’re making plans for another visit & have some quilting time

  along with lots of laughter, long talks,there was lots of yahtzee ,I’d never played before but yet kept getting a yahtzee~lol~

 

MY APRONS

 

I finally got an apron collection started, I’ve always loved aprons ever since my husbands grandmother introduced me to them way way back in the 70’s lol I remember  all those sweet memories of family gathered in the kitchen, talking laughing, windows fogging from the cooking, but she had one rule in the kitchen & that was YOU HAD TO WEAR AN APRON or don't enter LOL even if you weren’t part of the cooking detail ,say if you just wanted to sit at the table & engage in conversation with the ones preparing  etc you had to wear an apron, yes aprons were a must to enter the kitchen at grandma Lucille's house LOL

CULLING OUT

A while back I was trying to redo & update the sewing room, remember it going from green walls to yellow? well the yellow still makes me want to scream  lol so one last try, everything out! painting will begin again, although some have suggested painting the trim white to tone down the yellow, I may give that a try before going crazy with  the paint , I will post a picture of the over all room as soon as I get it all emptied out, there’s just got to be a happy medium in that room somewhere LOL

 

HELP WITH JAVA SCRIPT

ok so here’s the problem, 2 months of computer guy not putting in the right thing to begin with & adding all new things I didn’t ask for nor know how to work, & taking off programs that I had ohhh lets cut through the chase here if possible ~lol~

when I go to make a post & click “publish” I get  “java script void” popup,java’s on here so not sure what’s going on with that

so Maurine suggest using the “live writer” that’s a good thing as I am able to be telling you my troubles ~lol~ buttttt it doesn’t let me post pictures, when I click insert pic  & pull up files  I can’t find it even though it’s there when writer is off…so figure!

sooo anybody out there know anything about how to get my java outta the void mode so I can get back to posting the normal way?

I’m posting this on all my blogs, I need all the help I can get ~lol~
