CREATING WITH CROSSES, PUMPKINS AND HATS!

Finished the  "Red Cross Quilt" and I'm  sure enjoying it in my Art/Sewing Studio!

Also have had fun using some left over crosses from Bible School.

Decided "Angel Marlynne" could string a few thru the Heavens!
I dried some pumpkins stems last year to use for velvet and tapestry pumpkins. Have these with stems made and-

 these waiting for next years dried stems!

Got out tonight since it was nice and cool  and harvested the dried blooms for next years zinnias.

Met my new neighbor who wrote this darling little book. She did it thru amazoncreatespace.com!..I'm so excited to find out about this service as I have want to do something like this for years!

She also has knitted all the little characters in the book  with wool from their sheep!  And her Mother painted all the pictures! It's so me!!

We had another Rainy Day Pancake Breakfast on our porch this week!
(This picture got out of order as you can tell!) My neighbor friend's daughter came down in a darling "arty" hat the other day so of course I had to try my hand at one! It's not as cute as her's but I like it anyway!
Another view!

Yum and Fun and Makin Memori

And this is the runt of the pumpkins but the cutest I think! Happy Almost Fall Friends!

Th Sari ribbon got used again!. This time for a birthday gift for my precious friend Rose Marie.

60TH ANNIVERSARY TRIP TO BOONEVILLE, MISSOURI

Precious dishes (W.S. George 58701) from sister Judy to celebrate our 60th!
I picked out this cute old red twig stand as my gift from Maurice.

Maurice couldn't be happier! His gift was 2 bags of pecans!

Tasha was sure glad to have us back! Maurice is eating prunes (Ha Ha) in this picture!
Our first stop was The Big Biscuit for breakfast!

We hadn't been here for a good while, and we lucked out! It was Senior day!

I like to do my Abanding Art on trips!

I Love Quotes! So made some of these too!

It was fun to visit blog friend Susie Childs at her new shop  "Tullees" in Booneville.

This is Tullee!

Had fun wearing my fabric flower necklace!

A Close Up!

These pictures got out of order! This is the Sari Ribbon  I used to make the Tullee sign.

This is the Sari Cord I used for the writing.

Close Up!

My Pulpit Decoration for Sunday the 30th. We are having a Celebrate Marriage Day!

Fun old stuff1 How about this old Tub Bench with a dresser top!

Great
outside displays!

Our favorite booths in this Mall!

Both booths were furnished by the same dealer!

I used another one of my prints as abandoned art and wrote a note and left it. This was at the Bed & Breakfast where we stayed. I also left another one at the booths we liked so well!

Sister Judy and I started the day (5:30 am in the dark) on this porch  at the B & B and ended it there too!
