Driving to Indy

 

You know how sometimes driving long distances can be really, really boring.

Well, this trip had some amusements.

Starting with the weather.

This had me sort of clenching the armrests a lot:

 

 

But then we started having all these cool clouds to look at.

I should have let DH take pictures while I drove because a lot of mine are bad, bad some are not horrible.

 

 

Weird rolls of clouds that really did look like cotton and two different color sky amused me.

It was gray to the left and this:

 

 

...on the right. And then a little later:

 

 

It got really foggy after that and the giant tractor trailers didn't quit, so we did for the night.

Woke up to pretty skies.

We did a U-turn to check out this little war memorial in a tiny town (and no I can't remember the name)

 

 

We found all kinds of fun stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They didn't finish this sign. I think it should be Needmore Chocolate or maybe by the time we saw it, it should be Needmore Coffee.

That is enough for now--I have to get back to laundry and putting the house together after being gone. Monday morning will be here way too soon.

More things Amish to come later.

No Sewing Going On--Boo Hoo!

Trying to get ready to go on vacation and this:

has kept me out of the sewing room.

That smile was not there when he was sparring and got in the way of a fast moving kick.

But now that he has his very first broken bone, a cool cast and pain meds, all is well.

At least the part where he is not allowed to use it at all.

That will last until he has video game withdrawals.

I am going to take some hand work with me to Indiana so hopefully I can get something done.

Napping sounds good!

Someone sew for me!

More Accomplishments

 

I have been working on the Pennsylvania blocks that Terry started as a SAL.

This may be a present if I get enough done.

I do have a bunch more cut out.

 

 

I seem to be having trouble with colors lately and the camera. The reds don't look very red here.

Not sure how big this one is going to be yet. It will depend on how many scraps I have.

I also finished another 100-patch.

These are not as mindless as they look I have come to realize.

If you iron something the wrong way you have some serious issues.

Of course I wouldn't know anything about that?????

 

 

I think Murphy approves. In you hadn't noticed he has to be the center of attention.

We also accomplished quite a bit for the Humane Society yesterday.

 3 dogs and 4 puppies got new forever homes, including this little cutie:

 

 

And DH was busy helping out at the society office doing yard work and stuff.

Then we give Garion the golden scoop award because we had to go over to the other store and take care of our babies there.

 

 

Yes, I have a favorite. This is Night Ranger and he is a little purr pot.

He better get adopted soon--soooo cuddly.

 

 

So, today hopefully will get some sewing done.

My Redskins are losing and there is a rain delay for the NASCAR race and poor hubby had to sit in traffic for 45 minutes to get to the model airfield cause they are working on the road.

Thinking maybe I should do laundry instead--better to turn underwear pink then have to unpick stuff.

Hmmmmm????

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

WOO HOO!!!!!!!

 

I have finished the Harmony Village quilt!!!

After many frustrated moments, lots of unpicking and a few choice words, it is all in one piece.

 

 

The colors are much brighter than this and I will try to get one when the sun is shining, but I was so excited that I had to put it on here.

Happy Dancing!!!

Strange Sightings in the Neighborhood

 

Spotted across the street from our house:

 

 

He usually hangs out near the little farmer's market not far from here.

He even has his own trailer. Not sure, but he maybe a Travelosaurus.

 

 

After that I sent the boy out to get some squash from the garden.

He came back empty handed because of these:

 

 

I still haven't gotten my squash, but the guys brought fish and chips home for dinner (nice of them) so I can worry about spiders tomorrow.

 

A not so strange sight--new fabric.

All the fall and Halloween fabrics were on sale so a bunch came home with me.

 

 

And then these just made me happy. I think some of them were on sale.

And I could not pass up white on white end of bolt deal could I????

 

 

Now, for once there has been some real live sewing going on, but I don't like my pictures very much so I am going to take new ones.

They will be coming soon.

Hopefully there will be at least one trick or treat bag photo soon too.

Need to make one for my goddaughter and I want to make it big enough that she can use it for a book bag for the season.

I need to hurry up on that one.

So, I must sew.

Hope everyone else is getting lots done.

Taking A Break From The Village

 

Literally

 

I broke it on the first try--can you say "Happy Kicker"????

And permission to throw DS around

 

 

 

Hubby and I got our next belt on Friday night and we also had to say Good-Bye to our Tae Kwon Do master who is going back to Korea to spend time with his mom.

 

 

 

Garion tested last month and is still one belt ahead of us.

I thought his t-shirt was funny for the picture.

Do we look like a zombie attack team???

 

I also started making some Pennsylvania blocks for Terry's SAL

This is a great break from all of the boo boos that I have been making and unpicking on the Harmony Village quilt.

 

 

One

 

 

and two

 

 

 

Murphy decided I needed help picking out the background for the next block.

There is one more all laid out ready for me to sew up and then I really should unpick the last block from the village that sent me screaming off to a new project.

Concentration!!!!

Ha Ha Ha!!!!!
