October in waiting……

I feel like I have spent October just waiting for my new grandbaby to be born! I have kept my self very busy because I know that Busy hands make the waiting shorter! I have had a fun month so far and the next two weeks will be the best yet. I get to meet my new grandbaby and my niece Sarah,Joe and Baby Jet will be Abilenians once again!! So the population of Abilene will grow by  41/2 the next two weeks all due to my family! HA HA!

Last week we had the 3rd  Quaint Marketplace- such a fun fun day -

My Tuesday Night group had a booth filled with the fun things we have been making all summer and fall. We were amazed at how much stuff we had gathered together! What fun we had sharing it with everyone else. Here’s  what it all looked like together.

Cute right? I loved shopping at our booth – hehe Can not wait till the next one.

Saturday we headed down the road a bit to the “Petticoats on the Prairie” show. One of the main things I wanted to look at was the trailers from the Sisters on the fly. They did not disappoint. Owning one of these is on my Bucket list! I could just take off on some amazing adventures.

It was a fun Saturday spent with wonderful friends…..

THE joy of my life is living in the same town as my grandchildren and sharing the fun things we can do as a family. Sleep overs, dinners,ball games they mean the world to me. Sunday we went to our local pumpkin patch for some pictures and to let the kids see all the pumpkins. It was a little warm – 90s but we pretended it was a cool fall day! Drew and Callie thought it was fun climbing and walking through all of the pumpkins and when we left we picked tiny pumpkins for each of us and the smallest one of all for the BABY! I love my little punkins!

Well friends as you can see I have had a fun month and all the while waiting on our baby.  I know it will come with in the week and I get more excited by the day. I try not to call everyday to see how she is feeling BUT it is so hard to wait for such a special gift.

Hope your fall days are full of love and laughter and lots of Pumpkins!

In 2 short days the 3rd annual Quaint Old Homes Marketplace will take place for one short and fun filled day. My Tuesday Night fun bunch has been busy making stuff for our table and have had just the best time creating, eating, talking away our Tuesday nights the last 3 months.

We have it in the amazing back yard of my friend Jana. Such a pretty setting and it looks like the fall weather will just be perfect that day.

Now I need to go finish up all the things I have started!!! If you would like to come let me know I will give you a ticket we would love to have you join us for the fun day of shopping!

A Pirates life for Drew…..

Drew turned 4 the 3rd of September and I do believe the birthdays will not be very exciting after his 4th! Josh and Erica took him to Disneyland and most importantly to see the Cars Amusement park – boy did they have a blast and Drew LOVED it!  For his Birthday Party he chose a Pirate theme this year – he LOVES “Jake and the Neverland Pirates” When we watch it together I am always Izzy – I am the keeper of the Picksy dust. Erica planned  a darling Pirate party of course – she is amazing at that!

Started with the invitation -

Our little matey just loved all the decorations around the House -

No birthday cake for Drew – HE LOVES Chocolate Chip cookies so that was his cake!

Little miss got in the act also and loved being a pirates Matey and swinging – oh how she loves to swing.

                   Another GREAT party Matey!

September days- Fall is on the way!

I don’t think I have ever gone 4 weeks without blogging! I guess you could just say I have been busy, working, playing enjoying living!Here is a short recap of the days I have spent this month and what I have been up to.

I spent two days learning the new Bernina Sewing Machine I will be selling  - one word  - Amazing! I had a good time getting away for about 48 hours and learning about it and some other great products that will just open up another world for us.

I have also been making pillows to sell at the Quaint Old Homes Marketplace on October 11 – I have enjoyed trying some new things with them and think they turned out real Shabby Chic. I have been keeping my hands quite busy of late making and creating !

I have decorated my Home for Halloween already and just love the fun fun colors. There were several years I didn’t get my Halloween stuff out but NOW that I have very special Trick or Treaters I go all out with the bright fun colors – nothing scary at my house!

I’ve made some new things around my house – just for ME. I love my new light over my sink –found the top at Big Lots on a candle, fit perfectly , used a light kit from Ikea and I have myself a Ball jar light!

Fabric pumpkins were fun to add to the fall décor this year and sew easy to make! I even embroidered the leaves to add just the right touch of whimsy.

In the middle of all this I went to the West Texas Fair with these two – Oh the fun we had – the giggles and laughs I will always remember.

      I can just hear the giggles still – love those two!

One big event I will post about soon is Drew’s big 4th Birthday party – hard to believe that little one has been in our lives just 4 years – he sure fills my heart up!

October brings fun fun times! My 3rd Grandbaby is coming the end of October so I have got to get busy sewing for the new little one. Burp cloths, blankets and who knows what else it might need. I can’t wait to meet the new baby and fall in love once again!

Happy Fall – Ya’ll
