Cedar Ridge Studio

 New and improved sewing station but

 I miss looking out the window.

Sewing is hard with the sun in your eyes.

When the sun changes elevation I can go back.

I did get another 12 small photo quilts

stitched so this morning I will mat them.

Got a roast cooking in the crock pot

to add to the beef and noodles

I will serve at Christmas to

the 35 or so guest.

That is why I start early

with the food preparation.

We usually have a feast.

Going to be a rainy day so it is a good

studio day. 

Have a good one.

Saturday at the Street Market

Eight am and 38  degrees but its sunny.

The last street market in Chesterton for the year.

I buy a cup of warmth-hot chocolate.

I shop.

Huge cauliflower heads, brussel sprouts on the stem.

Large sweet onions.

Home made tamales for breakfast.

I stock up  on honey,dried fruit and grape jelly.

Bit of Swiss  bakery for crusty bread.

Now I know summer is over.

Holidays here we come.

Have a great week-end. 

Start of The Woods Road art quilt.

Yesterday was busy.

I laid out the background and

started quilting the sky.

My new art quilt will be a road

disappearing into the woods.

Lots of trees and leaves. 

                                   I made another 6 quarts of tomato juice.
                                   This is the last of the melons from the garden.
                                   We will savor this one.
                                   Next week on to the watermelons.

 

I am glad to be back in the studio again.

The pantry will be full for the winter.

I will be happy as a clam in the studio.

Watching the snow blow past the windows.

I am probably the only person who likes winter.

Enjoy your day.

Saugatuck, Michigan

Last night I got to thinking about

some of the vacations I took.

One of my favorite places is Saugatuck.

Lake Michigan.

Dunes.

 Art, galleries, and more galleries.
Great restaurant's.
Wickwood Inn with Julia Russo.
Peters Gallery.

 Sculptures inside and outside this town.
There is a sculpture walk.
The public restroom is a work of art.
A great place to spend a few days.
