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)
