Fall Festival at the Folk School

Becky and Biddy, painted gourds.

David Goldhagen glass.

Wool hooked rugs with dyed wool for sale.

Clay bird houses with lovely leaf imprints.

Brightly hand-painted items with intricate floral designs.

We went . . . we saw . . . we walked . . . and walked . . . and I caught the flu bug. Somewhere.

Surely it wasn't in any of the bags I brought home, I would have noticed.

Ugga, being sick is no fun. So I promise to stay home and not share it with any of you!

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

But MOOOOOOOM,

I wanna paint too!

Somebody has been getting into a great deal of mischief lately. The latest episode involved carting off the neighbor's brand new leather boots, which they innocently left on the front porch . . . . . not knowing there was a shoe bandit in the vicinity.

If I mentioned everything she's gotten into lately, she could have her own comic strip!

The title would of course be, "Here Comes Trouble!"

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Oh yes indeed . . .

Jane is having a Go contest!

Boy-o-boy this is more exciting than ice in the summertime!

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Things my dad forgot to mention . . .

Rule #1: Never paint a porch ceiling with clear sealant as the sun goes down, you can't tell where the new paint begins and ends after you move the ladder.

Rule #2: Never paint a porch ceiling by porch light. The bugs will come, the bugs will stay, and you'll end up sanding off bug bodies all around the light.

Dumb bugs!

Gifts

Tonight I am unearthing treasures and trying to find a home for things which have been packed away for far too long.

This was given to by my pal G.B. who lives far away and I rarely get to see. I treasure it for it's simplicity and the time it took for her to create.

Isn't it amazing that with all the "stuff" we amass through the years, the best gifts come from friends who take the time to share a little bit of themselves.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
