Summer is about gone!!!

August 19, 2017

Boy it's hard to believe but summer is almost done...it goes way too fast for me!!!!
We've had a fun summer working in our garden, coving out with family and friends, fishing, working and just hanging out!!!  Red recovered from his knee surgery, Grandma is doing quite well with her new hip and I love my new knees they work great!!!

 We have had some absolutely beautiful sunsets, this pic does no justice but they have been so red and fun to watch.  Dave cut down a bunch of trees so our view is much better.

I have been working on repurposing here a samples of the latest items, table runner from old doilies and an apron from vintage fabric, dresser scarf and some sort of crocheted deal!!!  I think they are very fun behind the runner is a wool hat covered with a doilie and flower it is quite fun.  will have more of these for our Fiber Fest October 14.

 Here I am with my gift from my good friend Linda Howes from Middleton, she found this awesome repurposed wine bottle and glass handpainted yard decor, I just love it!!!!

And here is the planter Dave made me for Mothers Day filled in nicely we do need a few more holes ,  next year!!!  Our garden and flowers have done great this year.. we had a long dry spell and now we've had some serious rain so things are really growing!!!  This font size is puzzling.. I am not good at this!!!

As usual I can't move these around...one highlight of the summer was meeting Marilyn Ridge in Bentonville, AR. and going to the Chihuly glass show, wow was that wonderful,e did the inside during the day and went back in the evening to the outdoor show after dark with a guide.  Unbelievable, he is a fabulous artist and from Tacoma WA. I was so glad to see this show.  On our way to the Lake we stopped in Eureka Springs, AR. a darling old hippie town full of cute shops and last stop Branson to see the most over done Victorian style shop I have ever see.  It's so out there I still just stare at all the stuff ....more lace and beads and fu fu and shake my head.

Well, that's all for this time...Happy Fall!!!
