November Blooms

We call them miniature Hollyhocks, I don't know the actual name. But they're still blooming. The colors are so beautiful, and add to the landscape.

Wood Harvesting!

My great niece Kayla, helped her Uncle Jason collect logs from the downed trees on the property today. What a cutie!

Box to Clocks

My husband bought two of these shadow boxes from one of the dollar stores, and hung them in the kitchen. I thought they looked more like a craft overhaul in the making!
So I removed the 3 D flowers on the inside, sanded and painted the frame, took shells and some watery looking fabric and sewed it to look like my interpretation of the sun setting over water, and made a clock for my bathroom instead. This is the result. I don't know what the other box will become, but I'm anxious to find out, and I'm sure crazy quilting will be involved.

Election Day Two

We went to vote this morning, and in our poling places , no one is allowed to talk politics, wear any bottons or shirts which indicate who you are voting for. So the long wait in line was kind of eerily quiet. I guess they don't want any confrontations, as this has been a very "Spirited" campaign. I feel good though.
While I was there, my grand daughter saw me come in, so she got a bathroom pass so she could come out to see me. (I don't get to see her that often.) It was a special treat to have her there waiting for me when I came out of the library. I'm so going to miss her when they move to Iowa. Blessings to all of you today, and God Bless this great country we live in.

Election Day!

Finally, it's here! I'm going with my niece and husband at eightish to vote. Please join me in this important election. May the best for this country prevail. God Bless America and God Bless all of you.

Halloween Cutie Patooties

Jenna was the cutest litle lady bug.

My niece Claire, she was Pebbles for Halloween. You just can't help but smile when these wee ones enter a room.

Crafting Time!

I just got back from Hobby Lobby, my FAVORITE store, bought what I needed for Deena's ornament exchange (Can I Be Pretty In Pink) along with scads of crafting supplies. I got a big roll of 1 1/2 mill. beads for only 77cents on clearance, that will go in the craft cabinet for lots of future projects! It's the store I could spend literally hours in and never get bored! I'm ready to go back, their ornaments are on sale half off, lots of scrapbooking things and oh the pottery! This is better than chocolate!
