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?

Fall

My favorite time of the year.

Fall. 

Wishing you a glorious fall this year.

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.
