MY READING LIST, et al

 

Here's my stack of books to be read...
Being an avid reader, I like to have
a nice stack ahead...
{click to enlarge if you wish}

And...
right now I am reading:
I think that this "44 Scotland Street" series
is so much fun...I will be ordering
the next two when my stack gets
too low...😊😂

*****************************
Here is the finished 5th page 
of my 60th Anniversary Fabric Journal:
[I am going to have find a good 
title for this:  perhaps--- 
"Through The Years?"]
The crocheted lacey bit across the bottom
is a piece left over from 
my Grand-mere's
work that I coffee dyed...
I am finally happy with 
how this
came out..
representing our home 
in the Berkshires;)))

A N D...
This is what's going into the oven
this morning:

All the leftover bread crusts and stale
hot dog/hamburg rolls all chopped up,
[I hate food waste of any kind!!]
sprinkled with olive oil and spices.

These will go into a 250 degree 
oven for one hour to crisp up;
 then cool completely
before I store them in jars to be
used on our salads...

We do have a little bit of color
from our one little maple tree
in the back off our deck:
I really just love that reddish-pinky color and would love to find
fabric in those variegated colors..... 

****************************
This morning after my 25 minute treadmill
walk, I sat down and finished Kantha 
stitching the 9 patches on my
"Dark Days" piece....
Now for the yo-yo's and little florets...

It is coming along....

We are enjoying a beautiful Autumn day here
with a 60 degree temp and sunny skies...
💛I do love Fall...💛
😎😍
