Oh my!
Just returned from 4 days in Lancaster County! I always return, refreshed and inspired. We didn't realize that there was a quilt show going on this week.....YIKES! Fabric stores were jam-packed and one woman was literally pawing the bolts that I held in my arms! I left unscathed with my usual big stash of new fabrics. We also loaded the van FULL of junk, wonderful, bee-yoo-tee-ful junk! Shutters galore, old wooden plank flooring, rusted fencing, a GREAT old screen door, etc., etc. Alas, I cannot divulge the source, I fear my lips will be handstitched shut!

I've been working on some new ideas......a couple new patterns for next week. Here's a peek of this one, she needs some tweaking and I'll probably add a couple things to the pattern. Hopefully early next week it will be ready!

It's been a loooonnnnnnnnnggggg time....

I sure had good intentions when I started this blog but life just got in my way! I fully intend to "try" to be more diligent with my musings. I'm currently working on a new a pattern and I'm really excited with how it is coming along. But alas, the girl has no arms or legs .......so until I can decide where to go with them, she leans......!
I had an absolutely frustrating morning, followed by more of the same in the aft and sometimes if I put my frustrations to paper and fabric, the best dolls are borne.
Pics to come, maybe tomorrow?

Fall? NOOOOO!

I find it hard to have time to come here. As the days get shorter and the nights cooler, it seems I cannot cram enough into any one day.
My flowers are starting to wane outside and I so long to bake an apple pie.
But *sigh* I am once again on a diet.

Finally, I begin...

...but where to begin....
I'm typing this, knowing full well, that it is just one more thing to add to my never-ending pile of "things to do". The Labor Day weekend holiday is almost over, we have spent the past few days, working a bit in and out of the house and the cool evenings were spent sitting in front of a fire out back with friends and family.
I sadly know that summer is coming to an end, days are getting shorter and nights cooler. It won't be long before we cannot sit outside anymore.
Ahhh, fall.
