Blogtober Day 9

 

Have you ever woke up tired?

That was me this morning, heck it took me half the day before I felt awake. 

While in my walking fog I managed to clean some and locate what little Halloween decorations I have.

Here is the finished embroidered piece I did a couple years ago.

And the kitty pumpkin four years ago.  I’ve only started making Halloween decorations these past few years. 

The kitty pumpkin is my favorite.

We have had another warm spell, still with temps in the 90’s .

I am so tired of summer temperatures, but my tomatoes are not. 

They were about to be pulled out a few weeks ago but with this heat wave they have been rejuvenated.

They still look a little on the poor side but there are a lot blossoms and fruits on the plants now.

Now we’ll see if any will ripen on the vine. 

While outside looking for a branch. (I have a project in mine but I’ll save that for another day.)

Anyway while outside I notice the walnuts are dropping. We have a lot of walnut trees on our property.

I had last year used black walnuts as a dye. It makes a wonderful dye.

I really do like the color it produced.

In fact so much that I’m going dye a big batch of yarn, enough to make a cardigan.

So picked up enough to start a dye bath. I’ll probably need to make another bucket full.

These will need to soak for a couple days, which will become a good dark dye.

I’ll bring you along for the process.

Too hot for soup, it more like grilled steak weather 

Added some pineapple slices. Love grilled pineapple….

Till tomorrow
