August Finishes

Here we are again, another month that seem to just fly by. Its amazing considering we all seem to suffer one way or another from the weather. Here in NE Oklahoma it was extreme heat and humidity. A good thing because of it I was inside a lot, which meant I was keeping myself busy with projects. Was pretty successful too. This is going to be a picture heavy post. I'll start with the one that I had been working on the past few months the Spring Fling Shop Hop from 2015. It turned out so pretty, and next its off to the quilter.   I love how the shops had fabric made just for them, naming the towns and the state. I have also slowly been going through boxes in the garage. and in one of them I found the top I made back in 2012. It was one of Bonnie Hunters mystery quilts, Easy Street.  I didn't have it quilted at the time because I just thought it wasn't complete so I put it away. Well I saw it and realized what was missing, a boarder. It's the only one of her mysteries I hav

Socks in all stages

  I had started this post yesterday with the thought of doing it on the gardening. That has mainly what I’ve been up to these past couple weeks.  But then I went into the studio because I was going to work on getting the snowman wallhanging finished (spoiler alert: didn’t) ……Well I got sidetracked. I had this organizing bug hit me and I started cleaning up the studio and came across a bunch of knitted WIP’s. So then I thought, I’m going to share my WIP’s because I believe a lot of us have the same issue. Which I definitely have. That is too start a project and not finish it by before I start a new one.  So I took a picture of the basket with all my sock WIP’s.  Now mind you this is only my socks. I have many other whips that I am not including because I’m categorizing my projects. So here are the WIP’s I have in the basket.  ALL 9 OF THEM  Now these WIP’s come in all stages.  From the planning stage to being almost completed, like needing the toes sewn together. This pair of socks is a

What happen to Summer. It’s already blogtober

  I started this post last week and decided to use what I started and add this,   it’s the first day of my Blogtober   I had been so out of touch...... time lately it’s just streaming by me   I did Blogtober last year and it was a fun challenge, so this year (at the last minute) I thought I’d give it a try again.  It will be me on a daily basis. I’ll try not to bore you too much. You can see last years Blogtober posts in the archives. 🍁🍂🍄🍁🍂🍄🍁🍂🍄🍁🍂🍄🍁🍂🍄🍁🍂🍄🍁🍂🍄🍁🍂🍄🍁🍂 post started 9/21/22 Tomorrow is the first day of Autumn, what happened to summer. And what a long, hot summer we have had.  In fact it is continuing here in NE Oklahoma.   I am so ready for Autumn and cooler weather.  So what have I been up to these past 3 months.  I have been struggling with back pain and can say that finally I see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Latest CT scan was clear and my next one is the end of October also I believe I have a good understanding and practices to aid in keepi

Howdy All

Howdy!!!!  It's been a while again since I last wrote and for not doing much, a lot has occurred. Last month my daughter went and had a surgery which cancer was detected, o varian  cancer.  Not was I had (endometrial) but then I was told the type of cancer I had was not genetic. Fortunately the type she had does not spread and they had taken her ovaries and the cancer with it. What a great relief, I did not want her to have to through what I had. So pretty much of January and first couple of weeks of February I was focusing on my daughter and some self care for myself. 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄 Today I started this post above the end of February, the 26th actually and now being March 13, it’s only obvious that I never did finish it or post. In the last three weeks since then I’ve had a birthday, I’m happy to have birthdays even though it means I’m a year younger. I had a few appointments and some family come visit, so these past three weeks just went by so very quickly. I've e

Blogtober it’s the 17th

I didn’t have a chance to post earlier because I have been visiting with my youngest daughters at her place this weekend. I left Friday and had a great time with her.  We went to the farmers market there in Stillwater  Not a very big market but the vendors there were very nice. Had a good variety of veggies and fruits. Couple of bakery’s and fresh meat.  We then went and had breakfast, afterward we went to the library for a book sale.  I found a couple books for myself and quite a few on the Civil War for “the man of the place” He is a big history buff on the Civil War.  While in Stillwater had to go to the OSU Gardens.  Been a couple years since I’ve been to the gardens. They have done a lot of changes and all so beautiful. I just love going there. I get so inspired each time. they film a weekly garden show there on PBS but you can see them also on YouTube. Oklahoma Gardening is what to look for.  Here are just a few pictures  There was also yard art. These pieces made from dinnerware
