Bits and Pieces

Today was a very busy and active day for me. I started out by doing the usual, which was to go out and let the chickens out of the hen house. Well there was the buzzard sitting on top of the hen house. Had my camera with me so I was able to snap a shot of him up there. It stretched its wings out but did not take off and fly. Never did see it leave.   Then had to go to the quilt shop to pick up the next two sets of blocks for the Farmer's wife Sampler.  Went by the store get a couple things. Then I went by the church and help decorate the Christmas tree which I have to say look very stunning this year. Sometimes one color can look really pretty. We did the tree only in red ornament, bows  and  Poinsettias  this year. Came home, fed the cows and straightened up a little bit because  didn't have a chance to get to that this morning before I left. I was able to get a couple hours of sewing in which I proceeded to work

Oh My, What Have I Done

Yesterday my plan was to finish cleaning and then try to get a little sewing in. Well it started out pretty good I straightened up, did a little cleaning, and then proceeded to straighten up my sewing room. Hello how easily I can get distracted. Got the cutting table cleared off, was thinking about projects I wanted to finish before the end of the year, and started a list. As you can tell I'm a list person.  Then I was thinking what if there that I can get done off of my 2015 list. Looked at it, decided how I can add this and this and so went looking for these projects.  If you're following along you're probably already ahead of the game and realized, oh I know where this is going. That's right I started searching for one thing and found another.  And another.  And another. Then there was a project I thought oh I haven't seen them in ages, and start wrestling through it, and realized where are the blocks I had already made for this

Something Unheard Of

Friday I arrived home after dark, so "the man of the place" locked up the chickens in the hen house. He said when he went to do that he found a buzzard in the hen house. He was able to scoot the buzzard out the house. It just hopped over to peach  tree in the chicken yard and perched on it. I asked him if something were dead in the hen house like a chicken or something else. so  strange, that  would be the only reason  for a buzzard to fly into a  hen house He said he could not find anything, nothing was out of place and just thought it was a strange happening Heaven knows.... I have had various creatures in with the poor girls, like the time I had a hawk with them. When I went out the next morning to let the chickens out, I did not see no sign of the buzzard and just figured it flew away. But it was Monday, and "the man  of the place" told me that the buzzard was back out there. Sure enough there it was hopping along the side of

What's Up

What's up on my design wall is the same four blocks that I left up there before leaving to go see my daughter and grandsons. The plan for these four blocks is still to make into a baby quilt. I hope to have my cleaning done in the next day so I can get into my sewing room and start sewing. It's been a month and I have the itch bad While gone I honestly thought I would be able to get a little stitching in. But that was not to be the case, I got very little in So I have nothing to show for the whole month I've been absent. But that did not stop my mind from thinking of all types of quilts I want to finish or start. There's one quilt I want to start is the one that is being  done by   Audrey  over at Quilty Folks. It is her Quilty 365. First I thought well, I'll do it in blues. I've had this thought that 2016 will be my start a blue quilts. But I had another thought of a quilt I've been wanting to do for my grandson's.

My day

It was a nice crisp morning, temps in the high 20's and low 30's. Do have a wind from the northwest but sunny. All the makings of a beautiful day. Which it is. Made my list of things to accomplish today, had my coffee, a banana and proceeded to go about taking care of the things on my list. I had strip the bed and done a couple of loads of laundry. Clean out the litter box. And straightened up and was dressed for the most part. Had a nice warm fire in the stove, in fact I felt overheated after vacuuming. So when I went outside to dump that stuff that I've vacuumed up (have a bag less vacuum) it felt rather refreshing,  being in short sleeves and Birkenstocks with no socks. Saying that to myself, until I went to open the door to get back in.  Low and behold ... I hadn't unlock the bottom lock, so needless to say I had locked myself out of the house. I've done this before and I would just go to my car use the garage door opener and unlock the

I'm Home Now

I got back last night after 3 weeks away  babysitting my grandsons. Before I get into that I want to thank my friends for sticking with me after being away. Thank you. I didn't post while there in California cause like many Grandparents I could of bombard you with pictures of the little dudes. But I will share this one of them in their Halloween costumes. They were part of the Paw Patrol, and ready to go trick or treating. We had so much fun. I spent part of my day unpacking and taking my sweet time doing it. Napped some and then spent the afternoon harvesting what was left in the garden that needed to be picked before the killing freeze (20's) tonight. I harvested lettuce, beets, turnips, sweet potatoes, potatoes, green peas, radishes and a few carrots. I was taking pictures but just haven't gotten round to editing them but I will and write more about my garden and how it did this year. I just wanted to touch base and make this a short o
