Happy Halloween

It's better to laugh than cry. So this morning I took this picture of myself trying to look like I was drinking hot chocolate. Thinking the background of my Fall wreath would look nice.
I look like I'm wearing a neck brace and that I'm Medusa. Oh and I dropped my camera on the porch and now  the flap that keeps the batteries in wont shut. 

diving in head first

I'v never done chicken scratch. Well leave it to me to get a whole kit. Any tips?

made me a craft bag

  First project was a owl pincushion. Moved on to practicing on scraps. I'm really liking redwork.

last nights supper

We got first frost last night. Cream of Wheat hit the spot.

happy mail

I received this yesterday from a dear blogging friend. His name  is Gene and he's  an artist quilter and he lives in Alabama.

I have designated this bowl to be used.  I certainly hope my friend Gene who is an artist quilter and lives in Alabama doesn't mind if I eat Cream of Wheat in my lovely bowl on my glorious oatmeal mat.

yard sale owl bookends

Bought because they were heavy sturdy bookends but not so pretty color. So I just stuck them in my Fall decor on the porch. Black and gold just aint my colors. I  ask Homer if he had any spray paint and now look at my beautiful owls.

Who knew automotive touch up spray paint could look so good on a set of  bookends. Might need to raid his shop more often.

look what I made
