Lunch!

OTomorrow there will be pictures of the three bags I've been working on before felting. (Hoping to felt Mon or Tue)  I think I have figured out the football cowl I plan on making to utilize those adorable buttons I got.  This morning, our power went out for about 45 minutes.  THere was a very loud bang and then these two things that seemed to attach to the things that look like giant springs on the pole next to the transformers started swinging loose.  I think they waited longer for the cop to show up behind them so they could start working than it took to do the repair!  We did do a final harvest on about 90% of our plants on the deck and then cut them down and tossed them (wish I had a compost) We have a handful of green tomatoes I hope will grow a bit more before I fry them up.



And because it came out so yummy, a picture of lunch!

Cup o Joe

Swap Goodies!!

I got a most awesome Swap Package from Vecere on Ravelry.  She totally figured me out!



There are candy pretzel molds shaped like racecars ( you know they'll all be red when I make them!) fall cookie cutters, some fall towels and a hand knit dishcloth because obviously between pretzel molding and cookie cutting there will be clean up, stitch markers, a cute tin (contents farther down), a hand made card, the only instant coffee I like - Starbucks darkroast VIA,  a super yummy coffee called Dancing Goats ( great tribute to the "discovery" of coffee) , three great skeins of yarn - 2 of Cascade 220 heathers in red and orange and one variegated blue of Knit Picks Stroll.  The absolute cutest pumpkin now gracing my entertainment center :



A great Good Karma mug! (perfect color for rooting for Tony, the 9ers, the Devils! woot)



Inside the little tin was two more great surprises! Stitch markers:



And the absolute cutest football buttons!





Am I not totally spoiled or what?!

This is a pic of my package to her.  Hoping she likes hers as much as I love mine!!

Thursday Thunks: I See Dead People

The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of a bad back and the 28.

1. Berleen is sending you away again. You can travel anywhere in the world; one destination per day from Friday through Monday. Where do you go and why?   Friday - Rio de Janeiro  because after all it's the ultimate party town.  Saturday - Ireland - although you may have trouble getting me t o leave.    Sunday - Martinsville, VA  because that's where Tony will be racing this weekend.  Monday - Philly, it would  fun to surprise Angie for dinner with Mon night football.

 

2. Would you keep a secret from the closest person to you if you thought it was in their best interest?
Trying to decide whether that would be Curt or the Angie..  But the answer to both would be absolutely, IF it would avoid them being hurt in some way.

 
3. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you that you have not revealed in some other crazy meme. I have serious issues with skin and bones in my food, so you will never see me eat an actual chicken wings.

4. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' BS) - what are they?

5. If you could change anything about your living situation, would you? Other than a bigger garden?? Nope, I'm a pretty happy/content person.

6. Who is your favorite character from a comic strip? Please post one strip for us to laugh at.
Hard to decide between Calvin & Hobbes, Opus and Garfield.  But since I loved the other day's Garfield I'm going with the fat cat!

 
7. Now we have found you dead. What five people do you want to MEET in Heaven? Atilla the Hun ( um do I have to believe they are actually in heaven?), Leonardo DaVinci, Jeanne d'Arc,  Benjamin Franklin, and most of all my Great-grandfather.


8. So since you are dead, what will the title of your life story be? Short Attention Span Theatre ! (duh)

9. Word association time! What's the first thing that comes to mind when you see the word pleasure? Guilty ( of course)

10. Kimber is by the Arizona ocean. She finds a message in a bottle. What does it say? If you believe you are on the shore's of the Arizona Ocean, I have a bridge to sell you!

11. Would you like to guest host Thunks one week? Answer “yes” here and email us here! If the answer is “no” who do you think would be a great guest host? I will once again, nominate Thom!

The basics:
Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

This week’s theme is:Pathways

Walking through darkness,

Branches brush against my cheeks,

Calm and peace at night.

 

Looking through the woods,

A crushing , beaten walkway,

I'll never take it.

 

Give me a sharp scythe 

A cooler with beer and lunch,

I beat my own trails. 

I can show you pic's!!

My Creepy Cute swap partner got her package.   So I  can show you what I sent.



My Skeleton Bride and Groom




The whole shebang.

I mailed out my caffeine swap package this afternoon.  So by Friday, I should be able to show you that one. 

You Live Out Loud

You are adventurous, outgoing, and totally fearless. You just go for it! You tend to have all eyes on you, and you don't necessarily mind. You were born to be a star. You would make an excellent rock star or actor - you have an undeniable charm. You are magnetic. Even if you aren't ever famous, you're still pretty darn popular. People love to be around you.

Do You Live Out Loud?
