celebrate on . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

I may have shared that I give as much time as my birthday wants to be celebrated. A week where you only work two days and have the next five free is as good a time to continue celebrating as any! I gave a whole post to the Tate Farms fun, but I'll condense the remainder of the long weekend here. Mostly. I think.

Thursday, the weather continued to be beautiful, and since a wet, cool front was moving in on Friday, our regular boat day, Todd and I decided to go ahead and get our lake action in ...

let the festivities commence . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

It's BIRTHDAY weekend!! Hip, hip!! The fun started Thursday evening when I pulled up and there were two beautiful planters of my favorite fall flowers . . .

MUMS! Aren't they pretty? Todd knows me so well!

Friday we hit the lake around 11:30. Even the fish must have known it was my birthday weekend! I actually pulled out my pole (Todd was catching them hand over fist, so to speak) and I did well.

I caught about eight (to Todd's twenty, but who's counting?). Mine were GOOD sized!

The heron even squawked out a birthday greeting. ;)

october's here . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Got an update on June this week; she saw her shadow . . .

. . . four more weeks in the cast. But this time she got a pretty bright blue one! And a side trip to the San Diego zoo! Sweet girl. She's handling it all very well. She is getting a little antsy. She misses her gymnastics!

Also got an update on this sweet kiddo . . .

Pictured here celebrating getting two parts in The Nutcracker! One is a solo dance (one of the gift toys in the early scene of the Christmas party) and the second is a group dance as one of ...

Dirt Tank Morning from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

Last week we loaded up SkeetAlthough it's really the other way around because he's always the first one in the rig, waiting for us to load up - this is one of my favorite pictures of him from a few years ago because it looks like he's saying: But I want to go fishing NOWWWW.

Spring adventures and Pine Lullaby fabrics from Sew Sunshine

Spring time suddenly seemed to creep up on me. I found out that my niece was going to be having a baby this summer but a baby shower in May. I decided this would be a perfect quilt to make using the group of AGF pine lullaby fabrics I already had. I have not been out to the stores shopping so I wanted to use what I had and open this nice FQ bundle. It came with a panel of bears hugging and I knew I wanted to use it somehow. My only question was could I make a quilt ...

Let’s Toast Marshmallows! from Quilt Doodle Doodles

I hope that you all had a relaxing weekend last week. I spent some time in my sewing room over the weekend and worked on a project that I’ve had planned in my head for awhile. I finally got it all written down on paper and made it. I’ve been spending the last few weeks showing you how I’ve been embroidering my Woodland getaway panel so today let me show you how I used those elements to make my banner/table runner. The complete pattern for this banner can be found on my website and in my ...

The Great Fish Relocation from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

I really never know what the day will hold around here. On Tuesday I cooked breakfast, tended to morning chores, took out ground beef for dinner, followed DH to town so he could drop his rig off at Mark's (our mechanic and super nice guy), drove back home, turned towards the house to start dinner when DH asked for help cleaning out a water trough. A few years ago I brought home some tiny

Flowers and Fish (and more f-words) from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

Is that not an odd combination? But, yeah, that's today's title. Flowers on my family's graves. Fabric for a new challenge I've found. And fish from our pond, thanks to a sweet husband. First though, I'm going to stop making all the fs bold. You get the idea, right? So enough of that.

Okay, the flowers are new silk flowers that Richard and I put on the graves of parents, grandparents and one great-uncle. Richard swept the graves to get the dust and leaves off while I arranged ...
