Monday

I will share some of our family news....first tomorrow I get my first SS check....with the good news comes the fact that I feel the pinch of getting older. It's strange how it just happens when you were not looking. You look in the mirror and wonder where you went because this lady isn't you on the inside.
But you then think of all that you have done and will do....so you keep on keeping on.
Arney starts a new career Monday morning. It won't be a big paycheck, but it will be enough. It will give us some travel money when the time comes. He will be in Customer service tools which will be fun for him. You know how men are and their tools.
I wanted to share that the little flat dolls were a hit...I thought the first graders were the best. They were not afraid to just have fun with them. One little girl wanted a pink doll and everything she put on it was pink. She carried it all over the fellowship hall in her little pocket. I am not sure what our next craft will be, but I am thinking Halloween.
I have a sinus thing going...not sick, but not well.


Fall is in the air and some leaves are turning.

For Thursday night

I made these little flat Dolls for the project at my church. The youth will put their own ideas and messages on the doll of their choice. I will have a lot of embellishments for them to chose from. It should be fun. There are 35 and I hope it will be enough??????

Quilted by hand.

This is a work in progress....it is for my sofa on those cold winter days. I am on the last row, and then the plan is to embroidery stuff in each square. The stitching is done in a little over a inch square....I need to get with it, winter will be here soon. Today was filled with working in and on my crafting stuff...I just have to get organized. I start teaching a class in September for the youth in our church...it will be fun. Any idea's would be very welcome. The colors in the quilt are coffee Bean, terracotta, shades of even a Little rose...my sofa is coffee bean. It is a sectional with a chase.
Summer is still very warm here, but I see little signs of fall....maybe it is the cool nights.

Farmers Market

Saturday morning and off we went to the Farmers Market here in downtown Nampa. Here is Arney getting tomatos and chili peppers from one of our favorite growers. My friend Linda was doing some shopping too. It has been a really beautiful day. Also here are the tomatos and peppers we got to make, you guess it Salsa!!!! We had some with our dinner tonight, but tomorrow it will be really good. Hope your Saturday was filled with sunshine and good food......

Movie

Miss Potter...it is about her art. A fun watch for those of us who dream!
