Today we've spent most of the day watching sports but let me tell you what I did yesterday. Lisa and I went to a sewing and craft festival, it was so much fun...there was so much to see and do. Lots and lots of quilting and sewing booths and lots of little workshops you could sign up for. Lisa and I both took a punch needle class.....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQ7NlyLiKN7yCMYKhNbGq6pdyu2Wq8_tkiHiVPN9OezMKe3D9m3XXW2dWHvjOmfPKS3oNb-4fCwLuvIR1qSsugWFl-ifBa9Bk50mzUyIU9YRMdYFWHRgFv3iD973HxJuWJUrUooJASTKf/s1600/IMG_5546.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588897736163261250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQ7NlyLiKN7yCMYKhNbGq6pdyu2Wq8_tkiHiVPN9OezMKe3D9m3XXW2dWHvjOmfPKS3oNb-4fCwLuvIR1qSsugWFl-ifBa9Bk50mzUyIU9YRMdYFWHRgFv3iD973HxJuWJUrUooJASTKf/s320/IMG_5546.JPG" border="0" /></a> This was our project...a small basket of flowers. After learning how to mount the fabric on the form and thread the needle....which for me was kind of tricky, we punch needled the flowers and greenery and then added the basket charm and ribbon. I love this little project...and I think I see a new hobby in my future:). I also made this.... <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEpLL0eQfXetoIZKMPZbZngjXC2JDeCT-pmIQJ4vHlnTmQ0JV4mg9WRO_EjlxyYDBQH_EYUmsP9-InVdRt04Thr1EygNFyN7FLrUuqWPX3hd_eVTsY1hGBsnzIxvNV-YzsjJMsMl_UifBg/s1600/IMG_5545.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588897733184902258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEpLL0eQfXetoIZKMPZbZngjXC2JDeCT-pmIQJ4vHlnTmQ0JV4mg9WRO_EjlxyYDBQH_EYUmsP9-InVdRt04Thr1EygNFyN7FLrUuqWPX3hd_eVTsY1hGBsnzIxvNV-YzsjJMsMl_UifBg/s320/IMG_5545.JPG" border="0" /></a> little needle keep. This is a little heart shaped yo~yo, for my first one I'm happy with it but I'm going to stick with the traditional round yo~yo.

It has been raining pots and pans and we might even get a touch of snow...now that would be amazing since the elevation here is 25...but I would love it. Usually we like to do a bit of running around on the weekend but this weekend I think we'll just be staying in and keeping warm and cozy. If that's the case, I'll be working on a couple of sweet stitchies of the Sampler Girl's.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIwZBkl_3bkcmRIb3crWZEsbC6u08QLEdOL-TupLSzYADjybzLNw2qGSNf6y3pltpGi0LVViuCqPWsYxmQt0inQkTMHjmhj8aY1yfyMozTnFh9zAURR3yr1Sm3hkxZmma1nAcGKGqoZhMx/s1600/IMG_5511.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577724581908875010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIwZBkl_3bkcmRIb3crWZEsbC6u08QLEdOL-TupLSzYADjybzLNw2qGSNf6y3pltpGi0LVViuCqPWsYxmQt0inQkTMHjmhj8aY1yfyMozTnFh9zAURR3yr1Sm3hkxZmma1nAcGKGqoZhMx/s320/IMG_5511.JPG" border="0" /></a>One is the "Queen of Hearts" and I'll be finishing her as a pincushion and the other is a fun Irish Cupboard Sampler.......plus<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWWtsq66DqiBuQxzRznsOsW1EY7NpTtqbpuSHrjhi5ET1Vrqvi0TYH4eM5lBTQSSeYUG3eMSQmeTPND6cy9HHjTreIddpa7za8bzv56YE-MyGFLYXB-TXxH7AEzeeG2BwysyIt3l3aGXCZ/s1600/IMG_5513.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577724571830553314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWWtsq66DqiBuQxzRznsOsW1EY7NpTtqbpuSHrjhi5ET1Vrqvi0TYH4eM5lBTQSSeYUG3eMSQmeTPND6cy9HHjTreIddpa7za8bzv56YE-MyGFLYXB-TXxH7AEzeeG2BwysyIt3l3aGXCZ/s320/IMG_5513.JPG" border="0" /></a>I'm reading an excellent book, The Forgotten Garden....it is so good I can hardly put it down and the latest......</div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLIU5KL_bj3mAMxcN9z3r4Z98s3RkK5XzHI5RUwllaDdJwT6s5Vjckj3B879hLTEevTfOdi0rlFu3S3V68gETHSD6YZT_XipZnWQYwDpIzGRu_UTIByWMX3jlBGXU-hq3lsSDT3GWn2tVs/s1600/IMG_5512.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577724569630989522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLIU5KL_bj3mAMxcN9z3r4Z98s3RkK5XzHI5RUwllaDdJwT6s5Vjckj3B879hLTEevTfOdi0rlFu3S3V68gETHSD6YZT_XipZnWQYwDpIzGRu_UTIByWMX3jlBGXU-hq3lsSDT3GWn2tVs/s320/IMG_5512.JPG" border="0" /></a> edition of Southern Lady just arrived...it is one of the prettiest magazine, full of wonderful recipes and Southern charm...I love it.

I think it is wonderful and it's a favorite of mine. My friend Michelle and her sister both have this print....I was the last to find it at an antique faire, and was really happy when I spotted it, can't remember which faire, maybe WX. Anyway, I just love it! The first time I saw it and each time I look at it, it always reminds me of Thanksgiving. I imagine the young couple offering a prayer of thanks for their bountiful harvest, to be enjoyed at a Thanksgiving celebration.<br /><br />To learn about the artist and the actual story of this picture click on his name....or you can just enjoy mine...hugs, Linda<br /><br /><br /><div></div>Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06673560576912863177noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1536975082434856087.post-46496860286744083802010-11-02T15:44:00.000-07:002010-11-02T15:44:19.276-07:00~ The Turkeys Are Here ~Today has been the busiest day, yesterday I was gone all day and when I did get home I was just too tired to put all our Halloween decoration away...so I did that this morning.
