More laughs

Feeling like Felting Halloween

What is Felt???

I think this is one of the greatest inventions.

This cloth is very versatile and can range in price from

25 cents a square to $9.00 a yd.

One afternoon, while lunching at Barnes & Noble

I happened upon this pattern

book in my favorite section:

POP UP Books.

It was destiny....

I used their patterns to create my own.

Their finished size doll was about

5 inches and mine are 12 inches.

The "swede" was out of town for a week and so

in my loneliness and boredom I sewed and made a

Big mess...

It was very therapeutic!

Here is what I made:

Zombie Undertaker

Vampire Zombie

Zombie Boy

Thrilla

Zombie Kitty

Dead Ducky

I think the grandkids will laugh instead

of being scared when they see these zombie's!

B l o o o g i n g

Lately, I have been so B U S Y..that my blogging posts

have really been l a g g i n g.

Autumn is upon the valley now and the weather is

cooling down which means that I will be spending

less time outside and more time inside...(boo hoo)

my garden is in it's second bloom,

This is the 4th season of

Helianthus annuus

in my front yard.

This year I decided to plant even more of these wild beauties.

The end of June, I transplanted these seedlings from

one area of my garden to the east

side of my front yard (they are in shock)

Behind these seedlings is an big ugly hedge.

.

The seedlings are now about 4 weeks

The plants in this picture have matured to "teenagers"

( hopefully you don't see the ugly hedge)

Here they are in full bloom.

Amazing that they survived the transplant.

I found this conjoined beauty, I estimated that

this season there have been hundreds of sunflowers.

To the Left and to the Right and down

in front of my home, we are known to be the

"Sunflower Home".

Have You Tasted???

Looks like candy....

Tastes like some kind of berry...

I am reaping the delicious benefits of this fruit..

Those are yellow raspberries kissed by the sun.

I planted them 3 years ago and this year was a bumper crop.

They taste like a cross between a white grape and a red raspberry.

I made crepes today and filled it with mixed berries...Y U M !

Addendum to (pulling the handcart).

Surprise.. to me.....

The swede was reviewing the photo's he had taken of our trip to

Martin's Cove. He took these shots as I was so stubbornly

pulling him in the handcart to see if I had the strength and stamina to do it.

This is what took place "behind" my back...

When I turned around to see why he was so quiet,

he snapped this one.....

Long day on the trail...
