We are going to have some fun today, the car club is having a costume drive. Before we leave, we are having a Halloween breakfast to set the right mood for the morning. I set the table with some fun Halloween things, starting with a wall hanging that I am using as a table topper. …
Halloween cards and little goodies
Time to send out some spooky greetings! It has been a bit of time since I was able to do some stamping. I really love the autumn for stamping as I have lots of leaf stamps and fall inspired motifs. I also have a fair amount of Halloween specific stamps. This time I started with …
Finishing the Offset Diamond quilt
This offset diamond quilt is really resonating with me right now, I like both the design and the colors. It needed some borders to make it bigger, so I added both a print fabric border, and a scrappy one to use up more of the scrap chaos. Then I loaded it on the longarm to …
Slow Stitching Sunday #4
Another week, and I have made a bit more progress. This is such a good motivator for me to have to report each week. I might actually get these done this year! I have the yarn basket almost complete, just need a couple more pine needles and it will be done. I started a bit …

Caramel Apple Coffee Cake
