SO FALL IS OFFICIALLY HERE--

Officially now all you silly bloggers that didn't wait to decorate for Fall are now 'legal' to decorate!!!  Now me--well-- I have  bought some silk leaves and flowers and gotten my 2 tote bags out of storage that has Fall items in them--but--my Fall fairies are still on vacation!!!

I have been really busy with all my sewing projects though--

I started the week off with a trip to JoAnn Fabrics early Monday morning--and the following came home with me--

First some Christmas items--more fabric for fussy cutting Christmas hearts-

and they had the Christmas picks on sale already and somehow '2' jumped into my cart-

And then I did wander back to the button aisle as I knew I would be needing some more novelty buttons for another batch of baby sweaters--and I hit the jack-pot--

They were 'buy 3 get 3'-which is a fancy way of saying 50% off--so I picked up 6 packages-now-- these are now priced at $4.99 package--last time I bought some they were $2.99 package--so were they really on sale???

and I picked up 2 wood items thinking to use them for framing/finishing off some counted cross stitching projects--

these were really reasonable at $2.99 each--I then put my blinders on and headed for the check out--but --low and behold--when I sat things on the counter--look what I found in the cart--

How could I not get these for my friend Anne--there is a cat and a bird on them and she loves novelty socks--so they got posted in the mail the next day--and-- yes the postage on this little pair of socks came to more than I paid for the socks--but Anne is worth it!!!

This week's Country block was a heart one--

And this week's heart block is done--

And I got the extra block I designed for the Mr. Jack quilt finished--

I decided to decorate him with some candy--I had a cat once who loved to play with wrapped hard candy and he was all black!!!  All the blocks are done now--am looking a couple fabric to finish this one off--

And here is a couple Christmas hearts I got done yesterday--I had run out of the Kona charm squares and had to wait for the order to get here on Thursday--

Have a bunch of  Christmas hearts cut out for applique--

And I worked hard this week to get these 2 smaller quilts basted for hand quilting--

And here is '13' baby sweaters so far in this next shipment--I will probably wait until I have knitted a couple more though before doing the buttons on them and sending them out--

Oh and on Thursday in my email was a free shipping offer from Hobby Lobby--where I get the yarn for these sweaters and the yarn was on sale for 30% off at the same time--but that meant a bus ride to Publix to get a pre-paid Visa card (for some reason if I use my debit card for their online shopping I always get hacked--so I always get a pre-paid one!!!) and came home and went shopping--got 24 skeins of yarn coming in for $75--!!!  So it looks like I will be knitting for while yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!( I had planned to buy more yarn in October as I was using my last skein on the sweater I was working on--!!

And would you believe this 'Impatient plant' is still blooming away--inside--

I've never had an outdoor plant bloom so long inside--

and here is how the Thyme plant is doing--

I finally added a 'over see'er" to the pot to encourage it to grow--it's working!!!!!

And here is an 'eerie' photo for you--this is that apartment building my window faces--looks like some of the apartments are on fire--but actually it is a red sunset behind me reflecting off the windows!!

Well time to get back to stitching and soon the NASCAR race will be on--it's in Texas today and it is hot hot there--inside the cars it is 130 degrees--and they drive in that for 3-4 hours--oh my!!!!

HAVE  YOU ALREADY DECORATED FOR FALL--ARE YOU WORKING ON A FALL SEWING PROJECT????

HUGS, DI
