Sunrise

I have no clue to what is causing these red/red sunrises and also the sunsets have been a blaze of color.

I know it is the perfect way to start your day.  Who could not love the beauty God paints for us.

Oh So Sweet

Thank you all so much for your support.  Loved your comments, and they really help me.

Lets take a short trip to sweet land.  I kid you not, this place has the best fudge in the whole world. OK, maybe not the whole world because I haven't tasted all the fudge in the world.  They make it right on the spot.

A few years ago they had a fire and it destroyed the shop.  I was thrilled when they rebuilt it.  The kitchen is now a separate building, so if that catches fire again they won't lose everything,

The do have sauces and good things but mainly I am all about the candy.

Feelings

OK, this is my web log and I will post my feeling here.  When I get back up to speed posting, I will post all sorts of 'stuff'.
To be open and honest, that yes, even at my age a so called friend made a comment that hurt my feelings. I don't know what terms to use, I just know I would feel better if I wrote it all out. 
I have blog friends that I think need me LOL.  Well, they need my prayers.
This friend told me over and over " I don't do blogs".  Fine! she didn't need to do blogs, that was her decision.  I like my blog, I like my blog friends.   Well, she said it so often I started feeling I was doing something wrong. go ahead and laugh because it really is funny now.  But, it shows you how words can work on a person.
Just recently a blog friend offered to teach me something new and I can't tell you how excited I am about it.  Next note from friend lets me know she is not happy that I will be learning something new and she can't learn because she doesn't do blogs.  Also she no longer speaks to me.  Does this sound anything like an adult?? Well, anyhow she will not be standing in the way of my blogging my fingers to the bone.
Thought I would leave you with a picture from our valley.  Yes, I am blessed.   I read that just because God closes a door doesn't mean he is keeping you from something, but is saving you from something you don't need to go through.

Lets put the cast on's to work

The dress that got me started on doing cast on roses.

 It looks so tiny now.           

When you start your roses, start with the outside ones and work toward the center.

 Most of all have fun and enjoy the process.

A First For me!!

After following so many wonderful, creative blogs.  I am so inspired by these super creative ladies to try my hand at decorating for fall.  
This is a first for me, decorating just isn't in my gene pool--usually I do try Christmas and those decorations stay up until Easter.
          First the front porch. Must have 
           Something to meet guests.

                           I love the tea pot planter,
         a Birthday gift.  When I spotted the red and yellow mum I just knew it would work in the pot.

   Next I tried the dining room table.

                          I think Mr. Rooster and Mr. turkey  look pretty happy together.
                                                   
                                              Then the hutch!

 There is my first attempt at fall decorating.This should last until it is time for Christmas 'stuff'.  I am sure there will be some tweaking, no one told me it was this much fun.

                            

I am done!!

My ugly fabric has been tamed!

 Because it really did look like a fabric for PJ's,but, was cotton not flannel, I made a pillowcase for my cat loving granddaughter.

Next is a little pillow for a cat named Zoe.  She loves to rest her chin on a pillow, so she is getting her own special little pillow.



Then came the shopping bag.  I wanted to try out a pattern, to see if this bag would work for my quilting class.  

The bag is Kwik-Sew K 3612.  There are patterns for two other type bags included, so I will also be trying those.

            So there are the three items.
             
                You may see a bit more
                 of this fabric, Someday!

Oh HELP!!!

Someone at Everythingsewing had a bright idea of doing an ugly fabric challenge.  I am not pointing fingers but, I am sure it was Betty. 

The way it goes is, anyone interested signs up and agrees to send no less then 2yards of their ugly fabric to a victim  another member. In turn they receive 2 yards.  

Well, my two yards arrived, so I am asking for help.  I do not think I need to say much about this fabric.  
Napkins for a kids birthday party?
