AND THE RAINS CAME....ET AL

 

We have had over 2" of rain

so far...and high winds....

{this is the view outside our

dining room window}

this maple is always the

first to change color in our

backyard...it really is

VERY RED

altho' this pix doesn't capture it 

very well....

{As you can see, Tom cleared off

the deck for the season...

Fare-thee-well, Summertime}

********************************

On this very stormy day I have

set myself up right on our

dining room table for 

some handwork...

(easier on my back )

the blue basket on the right

is my Mom's old workbasket

that she beautifully lined

Here is the wool piece

I began quite a while ago 

that I unearthed 

yesterday....

(it is a Buttermilk Basin pattern)

Now I have pretty much tacked 

every piece down 

so I don't have to deal

with any pins...

I think it looks very 

Halloween-ish

and must decide what (if anything) 

I should put in those 

windows...

***********************

I plan to embroider it now--

kind of like I would treat a

crazy quilt block...

But

I found that a lot of the 

smaller

point-ey pieces were

unraveling a bit...

like those corn leaves--

so I may have to use a 

little bit of glue stick !!

I am a newbie to wool applique

so this is pretty challenging...

I am calling it 

"House on the Hill"

to represent our home...;)))

I hope all of you in this storm's path are staying safe and warm...

Hugs, from under my bumbershoot (haha)
