One Creative Family

What a beautiful day today.  Sunny in the high 60’s and my yard is so green.  Worked in the yard, grilled some ribs and a brisket, then worked on a wall hanging.  We were to donate something to the First Responder’s  Silent Auction.  I decided to make the Arizona  Sunrise by Deb Karaski.  It is paper piecing and is fun and going well.  When I finish this I may have to make one for myself.   This is a reminder that tomorrow is the last day for the giveaway.  Good luck.

Today brings lots of fun things, and not so fun things to One Creative Family.  Got to spend some time with some wonderful people who I worked with.  It was fun seeing them and and all the kids running around in a middle school.  I do miss the adults but am glad I retired.  A new quilt is calling my name.  I will start on a Snowman attic window wall hanging for Christmas.  I love decorating.  Do you?  What are your favorite Christmas season traditions?  My favorite is having the grandkids decorate the tree Thanksgiving evening.  There is always so much giggling going on.  We have 5 granddaughters.  One grandson who is in his 20’s and doesn’t participate.

These are 2 of my Christmas wall hangings.  The decorations on the tree are pins and angels that were my mother’s . Fun to have her with us during the season.  I will be adding some of my Mother In Laws to the tree this year.  We put battery operated lights on it.

What a wonderful day today.  Went shopping with my daughter and granddaughter, came home made 7 loaves of zucchini bread, 3 batches of peanut brittle, and a batch of cookies.  Now is I am sitting at my sewing machine getting ready to make another apron.  If you haven’t joined our give away, you still have time.  We are really excited about this.  Just click on the Rafflecopter giveaway on the blog and it will take you to the giveaway.   Our visitors have been having fun the last few days.  It is so much fun watching these little Hummingbirds fly around playing.

We have decided to have a giveaway.  We have been so pleased and excited about the new sets we are making we would like to give one away.  Follow the If there are any problems or questions please feel free to comment so we can make sure they get correct for future giveaways.

Thank you bunches

Today was a great day with the morning spent in the sewing room, the afternoon in the kitchen.  We have only 17 more days till the sale and once all the brittle is done then I will be ready.  I hope.

Here are some cute shoes.  They are flip flops and made into some cute and comfy shoes.

We would like to introduce “Frankie and Stiena”.  Getting to be close to Halloween and just wanted to throw these out there.

 

 

Today I started making Peanut brittle and Pecan Brittle.  Made 4 pounds of it.  Still have lots to go.  Alicia has been making “Thin Blue Line” coffee cozies for our Sale coming up in a few weeks.  These are to show support for our Law Enforcement  Dept.  

Today will be a very lazy day in One Creative Family.  I have a ham in the oven, enjoying a quiet lazy day.  Today is a beautiful 69 degrees and sunny.  This afternoon Destiny and I will explore the neighborhood and visit with a few neighbors.

The surprise I had outside my sewing room window this morning.   I have a wonderful visitor.

Got for of the shirt aprons done today.  Getting ready to sandwich a lapquilt and work on some Potato Bags.    Today I will be adding a few pictures from our festival.  It was fun and a beautiful day to be out and walking around.

Sorry for the blurry picture.

I have a friend who had triplets, Alicia made these cute hats for them.

Hear no evil, See no evil, and Speak no evil.  Too cute.

Today starts the beginning of a 3 day celebration in Independence, MO, the hometown to Harry S. Truman, who was the 33rd President.  The celebration consists of a carnival, the whole downtown is reverted to horse drawn covered wagon rides, LOTS of food, crafts, games, music, and you will see people walking around dressed in the 1800’s fashions.  This celebrates the beginning of the wagon trains to Santa Fe, California, and Oregon.

Today we will be spending the afternoon walking around looking  at all the craft booths, smelling the kettle corn (pop corn cooked in big cast iron pots over an open fire with a hint of sugar)funnel cakes, (pancake batter fried with fruit or sugar and cinnamon on top.) BBQ, and so much more.

I will post some pictures when we get home.

Today I have a lap quilt top to sandwich and start quilting.

Sending all of you in Florida good and positive thoughts with the hurricane and rain and flooding.  My heart goes out to you.
