It's October, my Favorite Month

Yes it's true, October is my favorite month. And it is for many reasons. Here in the northern hemisphere it's when Autumn comes to show her beauty. The smells, the temperatures are cooler, the color of the light from the sun (just breathtaking), the change in color of the foliage, harvesting of gardens and orchards and the whole mindset of preparing the farm, the house, pantry and myself for winter. But best of all is "the Man of the Place" and I's anniversary. 
Truly October is my favorite month.

Now that I have that said and out of my system it time to get back to business. 

First of all I would like to present my 
Get-R-Done list for October
I had not had a list since July.
 August and September whiz by with little or no sewing happening. And let me tell you I am sure missing it, but with all that still needs to be done around here before the cold sets in I am making my list of doable goals. So here goes;

1. Finish my daughter's quilt. Means a little quilting left around the outside and putting on the label and binding.

2. Put the binding on one of my Christmas Quilts. (maybe 2 if I'm wonder woman)

3. Get caught up on the Stash Bee blocks (3 of them) 

4. Finish the Wool cat for the shop. 




now for my 

1 Continue with canning and such of the harvested produce

2. Decorate the porch for Autumn

3. Most important is to update my blog, example: egg production


Whoo wee, that's plenty.

Love the definition I found for the term whoo-wee
"a redneck exclamation to express many different emotions"
now really!

  1. Your list sounds doable. I love doing binding - until I'm 3/4 finished with it, then I'm thinking why am I doing this binding by hand? So you and you hubby have an October Annv. That's so cool - October is a beautiful month. Happy Anniversary!

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1. I figure we need to refrain ourselves and keep it down to a couple episodes a night. Today I put a binding on another quilt from the pile. ...

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
