Costume creating, acorns, acorns & more acorns!

As usual LiLi had her Halloween costume planned way early. She actually bought the hat back in February when they were in Mexico.

She did a sketch for me with specific instructions on how to make it. I was not (as usual) able to find a pattern so went with the closest I could find & planned to "wing" it!

This is the hat where I was getting my inspiration.

They say that creative people are very messy as this pic & the video will show👀

Things were not going well as I was trying to make a pattern about 6 sizes smaller! It will happen!

In between all this I spend every other day raking acorns......I've lost track of how many times I've filled this wheelbarrow!

look at my hibiscus......it's crazy that it's flowering so late in the season!

I had to bring it inside before the frost gets it

My friend Paul who I play golf with has a remote golf cart & I kiddingly told him he should have a ghost on it for Halloween. The following Friday this came acrooss the parking lot at me👻 He & his wife found something even better!

We got lots of stares playing golf that day!

Today we have a riddle???

What do you get when you cross a pile of scraps, a sewing machine, a woman possessed, & a husband on a week long golf trip? The following......... This is a tablecloth for my kitchen table....forgot to take the finished pic Cover for my sewing machine...very proud of this as I quilted the whole thing. This is the back....got tired of doing squares! Matching cover for my serger. I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot. I have done a couple other projects since then which I will get around to posting soon. Had computer problems so I have some catching up to do Love

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates. They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs. Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools. We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem. It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view! Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom. Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week. We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart. As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!! It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked. Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater. I don't want to be doing this again for a while! While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday. All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

Life from where we are
