I Promised A Little Fun

I took so many pictures in my wildflower garden this summer that never made an appearance here.

- bumble bee gathering some pollen -

- blanketflower -

- praying mantis on a cosmo -

I have been working on a few craft projects and have kept myself busy indoors for various reasons.

I am making these shells, covered with napkins for my favorite 

"Trick or Treaters" 

and also for the children with the best costumes.

I have only made 5 but I will get back to them, I would like to have 10 to give out, with candy of course.

I just got paint from Amazon, orange and black to paint the undersides.

I started this blanket as a Christmas gift for my son

Knitted with Sierra Yarn 

Andean Solid

60% Baby Alpaca and 40% Pima Cotton

I ordered this as a kit from Sierra Yarn, the kit included everything I needed,

the yarn, needles, pattern and a tag, I really like that.

I found these flowers the other day under some books.

Sometimes, a deep cleaning is necessary to find hidden treasures.

I started the process last year and forgot all about them.

I remember now there were more, now to find them...and I am not sure what I am going to do with them.

Any suggestions?

I made up my Fall Bucket List...It has some really great ideas for fall.

We got some much needed rain, it came down in buckets...

I don't know where that expression came from, but in this case it is true!

This is a picture of the last vase of flowers from the garden...

they brought me so much joy this summer.
