Where did the week go???

Can hardly believe it is Thursday already. I actually did get a lot done. I cleaned the entryway, leaves everywhere that get blown in. I worked in the garage and decided to paint the garage door on the inside. It is now a chocolate brown instead of dirty white. I'd like to get the walls painted in there too. Mmmmm it doesn't matter what color I paint as long as it is white. I was thinking maybe some wild color. I did do something cool in the entryway. As you can see in the pictures below I redecorated the walls.

I had the wagon wheel outside in the backyard.

(rescued from the farm)

Thought it would look better hanging on the wall!

Fork came out of the shed.

All these old pans came from my mother's shed.

The bird nest was found in the hay field by my brother.

The chair and bushel basket that the flowers are in came from the shed also.

Here are the crafty things I did yesterday.

The snowman is a light box.

I need to add something to the tree shutter but not sure what.

Anyone have any ideas (Tina).

That's all for now.

Everyone have a good weekend.

Weekend Pictures

My neighbor Giselle sent me these photos. As you can see a good time was had by all.

Amaya dancing with her lion.

Me and my "Packer" rain poncho.

Ted, Dave(The Gorton's Fisherman!) and Brad in the background.

Me, Dave, Brad, and Jetta by the campfire.

Thanks Giselle for the pictures. It was a great time.

Oops, I forgot "What happens on this side of the creek, stays on this side of the creek!"

Tomorrow I will post pictures of what I made today. I was going to do yard work but it was too windy again to rake.

Goodnight all.

Takin it easy today.

Kind of takin' it easy today. Made three more gingerbread boys today. They would be really cute as a family.

This one is in a corduroy bag and a tag that says "gingerbread blessings".

Made these shutters I saw on line. Used some scraps and whola.

Smells like Thanksgiving here today. I have a turkey breast cooking in the crockpot. Missing the squash though and am too lazy to go to the store. I was going to rake today, but not sure what to do with the leaves.

Can you believe it. I updated this two days in a row. Have a great rest of the week.

Crafted after all!

I whipped up this little gingerbread man tonight. I got the material with another project. Another cheap find. This dark brown and also a lighter color for $2 at a junk store.

The bowl he is in I got at the "barn" for a quarter. Painted it and added a star.

End of a great summer!

Well on Sunday we had to winterize the trailer. BUMMER!!!!! Amaya spent the weekend with us. She had so much fun. Friday night she slept upstairs in the "waterbed". I was laying with her and we were telling stories and she said to me "Gramma, you can go to bed now. I need my privacy!" Out of the mouths of babes.

Helping Grampa!

Saturday Amaya helped Grampa shovel some dirt. We cleaned up behind our trailer to make our lot have more usable space. We ordered a load of black dirt. The neighbor Brad brought up his tractor with the bucket on it to spread it around. We still need some more and will need to seed it. Sure looks nice. Now all we need is a swingset back there. Looks like a little park. There was an end of the year pot luck in the afternoon. Amaya ate two plates. I guess she was hungry. We then went back and had a fire at the neighbors. That went well into the evening. You know time to empty the fridge. Plus a few "jello shots" later. Amaya roasted marshmallows and dance to the music.

Amaya with a marshmallow face and dancing.

Today it was laundry day. I'm talking about six loads of campfire smellin' clothes. Raining out anyway so I can't do outside work. Having crafting withdrawls. Gotta go have supper on the stove. Spagetti.

Dreary Tuesday

It is raining today which really makes it hard to get motivated. Cranberry Fest went well. The weather was perfect. A little cold in the early morning though. Tina’s friend Holly came with and help us out. Sure was nice to have an extra person. My friend JoJo helped pack up while I loaded the trailer. Didn’t get any pictures, oops.

Here is our picture from Barronett Fall Colorfest. We made that paper and the Rice Lake Chronotype. I guess you could say we are celebrities now. I some homespun for the background (garage sale find) and framed it. Made a great background an my computer!

Now I am trying to get some Christmas ideas. My brain is kind of on the blank today. Just don’t know where to start. I have all my crafting places cleaned up and organized now which will make it easier. I just have to get motivated. Kinda hard too when Ted is on vacation. He's snoozin' in the chair now.

That's all for today. Think I'll take a nap or something.

Two more days!!

I can't believe it's only two days until Cranberry Fest. I have to get packing. Yes another vacation. Have nothing ready for that. I think I am done making things. I have really got to get some organization done around here. All that crafting and no cleaning .

Here are the table runners I made today. There are two more but I couldn't get a very good picture with my phone. Sure do need a digital camera. (It will be my merry birthday soon. Ill have to add that to the list.)

Crow on a springcrow and stargathering room and blessings

Well good night. I have been up since 4am. Don't ask me why I just was.
