Love my woods

Love the bare branches of winter. 
The colors of rust, sienna and shades of brown.
With Christmas approaching it is getting busy.
Counting down to the week after Christmas.
Than I will have 4 months to create in my studio.
Happy Artist.
I love winter.
Hoping to get snowed in.

Circles of Women

So true my friends, 
Finally I am getting back to you.
Seems like all my time was spent on the bike,
climbing stairs ( up and down) and stretching.
Nothing has been done in the studio.
Hopefully this week it changes, 
Love my pine trees 
especially with drops of rain on them.

Life at Cedar Ridge

Well we are ready for winter.
2 new exterior doors, 3 new vent stack collars
 replacing the ones the squirrels chewed off.
all garden pots in the garage or turned over.
leaves and pine needles picked up. 
Irrigation blown out. water pumps drained.
Takes a lot in the Midwest to prepare for winter
Winter is my quiet place. 

I tried to make a fleece jacket.
Big fail. Made me look bigger than big.
So Saturday my daughter and grand daughter
came over. I filled 2 large black leaf bags
with all the fleece plus any thing plaid
( did I mention it was the plaid fleece)
winter fabric in the bags. Plus 6 containers
of yarn. My frozen hands make knitting and
crochet impossible now.

Sunday morning my son in law sent me a photo
of Kathy and Liz surrounded with the containers
planning what to do with the yarn and fabric.
Made my heart smile.

New project

I saw this flannel quilt by David at Crimson Tate
in Indy. Called David at the shop and ordered it
and some additional yardage.

The back is fun also.
I may make this one for me.
Or my grandson who is building himself 
a house. Yes with his hands with a few friends.
I got a brown sofa I want to wrap with quilts.

Than I saw this shawl and thought .
I could crochet this onto a piece of wool 
flannel or acrylic.
I have been thinking of stopping my blog.
What ya think.
Will face book be enough or Instragram?

5 weeks post surgery

What do you do when you have to sit with
 the ice and compression on your leg.
Search the Internet for great ideas.
Love this jacket.
I do. 
Found this peaceful scene with my favorite verse.

Love the cabbage and the colors 
A great idea and color scheme for a quilt.
I am getting more flection each day.
I got a bunch yesterday when my office
chair seat went down to 12 inches off the floor.
OUCH.
Could not get up.
Had to send the great grandson upstairs
for the quad cane.
He decides to play pogo stick with it.
Finally he arrives and I got up.
Kids.

Turkey Trot


September is here.
My past 3 weeks has been spent in recuperation
from knee replacement. 
The flock of 3 hens and their chicks kept me
entertained. They scratched through the flower 
beds looking for bugs and seeds.
They gave me some ideas for some art quilts.
So glad I am on the mend.
That is one brutal surgery.
6 more weeks of therapy than
a few months of being good.

Butterflies and Blooms

Watching the butterflies go crazy

Amazing markings on the side of this one

The softest blue and yellow

A perfect morning walk.

Summer fast fading.

I am frantically getting myself and my house

Amazing what needs to be done.
Gardens weeded.
Meals in the freezer,
Exercise,
WOW.

Missing in action

The flowers are blooming and I am enjoying them.
Been extra busy getting my ducks in a row. 
Weeding, finishing last minutes projects,
Doing pre - op  exercises. 
Cooking salt free meals for the freezer,
and just rushing about.
Once I have my surgery I will have more time
for the computer. I promise.

Minatures

My miniature succulents.
Will be bringing these in shortly. 
Love my plants.
Not sure my husband can keep these alive
for me after my knee replacement surgery. 
Don't you love the old table they are on.
Found at a garage sale last year. 
They will make me walk around the house more
taking care of them.
