FABRIC

And just where do you think I will use this????

Our new home on wheels

Well we bit the bullet and bought it!!

It's a doll, and I can't wait to hit the road.

As my friend Kathy said "Happy Trails!"

The blacksmith and his bff picked it up Friday while I worked.

I haven't seen it being towed behind my car yet, but I was assured it looks great.

This was the first order of business. Remove it!!!

A little goo be gone worked great.


Some elbow greased helped too.
Greased lightning and a little scouring pad took all the tree sap off.
Tomorrow it will get power washed and then a hand wax job.




But in the mean time, a card game was in order.



Elizabeth loves the bed. Although she did take one tumble off of it head first.

The boys wanted to spend the night tonight, never mind it was a school night.

Here Alex is enjoying the Sunday paper, and Brady tries to steal the

back page reading from afar.

Not only did I get a camper this weekend, I won two Fall giveaways.

Thank you to Cyndi at stitch, stitch , stitch

and

Michelle at Michelle's quilts and stuff.

Hope you all had a beautiful fall weekend!

If your weekend includes a hayride . . .

Could a camper be in our future?

Today the blacksmith and I took a road trip about an hour and 10 minutes from the house.

It was to look at a 2002 Casita 16 foot Freedom Deluxe travel trailer. The price sounded good.


Here is the dining area and the sleeping area behind it makes into a living room, after you reset the couch. I am already dreaming of the quilt I could make for the bed. (and I'd make my bed a little neater too.)

The small kitchen included a built in microwave behind the door, with a refrigerator below. The two burner stove looked brand new. What I didn't take a picture of was the bathroom with a shower. It was a lot packed into a small space, including built in air conditioning.

The main concern the blacksmith has is the exterior. It is fiberglass which has not been waxed probably ever. It's a little oxidized and would need lots of TLC to restore it.

Still thinking about . . .

You gotta check this out~ ~ ~

and help a friend gain more followers.

After all Jeri at Hopalong Hollow Gazette is giving away one of her fabulous books, Hopalong Jack and the Blue Bunnies.

I almost didn't tell you about it, because I really want to win a copy. Last Christmas I ordered her book The Journey of Bushky Bushy Bottom for the grand kids. It not only came with a audio CD, but she signed the book just for the kids. No where will you find a book like hers. The art works, the hidden animals, and the colors are just fabulous!!!

So hop on over and become a follower for your chance to win. Just maybe if you win and I lose you will give me your copy!

And I thought there was no mail on a holiday . . .

Today on my way home from work, I did not stop at the mail box. I knew it was a legal holiday and there was no mail delivery

However when I got to the front door, I was proven wrong. There was mail delivery. . . seems the UPS man delivers on holidays.



I quickly cut the box open, anticipation was killing me. I had received packages before from the Bedillions and I knew they were one sweet deal!

Sara and Mark sent us a jar of their wonderful honey! You see I had made them a quilt for their new bundle of joy who is due in just 16 days. I so enjoyed making the little guy a

bee themed quilt.

I can hardly wait for the morning light to come. I'm gonna toast a piece of sour dough bread, smear it with real butter and pour on the fresh honey. YUMMO!

Thanks Sara and Mark! I'm looking forward to the little guy's arrival and sending prayers that all goes well!

The week's end

In July I won Moda Cotton Blossoms from Lori. After sewing these together I decided I like them so well that I bought another charm pack off Ebay for only $6.25. They should be here Monday. Somehow I will make this a big enough quilt to cover a queen bed. Or so I think now. So far I have only used the charm pack and fabric from my stash. Therefore the only money I've spent is for the one ebay pack.

Elizabeth was here today. She loves to PICK, PICK, as she says.

Here she is trying to ride the tractor we bought her daddy when he was about the same age.

It was a beautiful day for 4 wheeler rides.

Or anyway you could get a ride

Grandpa and the boys did some target practice in the back yard. Brady has been deer hunting yesterday and today.

Even though Alex is too young to hunt deer in Missouri, it never hurts to train them early.
