Getting ready for Winter

It has been a while since I wrote but I have been settling in for the winter months here. Fall weather has set in and the evenings have been wonderful. I know this sounds crazy but my husband and I were wishing for a rainy weekend to set around the house. Hasn't happened yet but I know it will soon enough. Our old bed has gotten a new paint job probably for the last time and it looks so nice and clean. This bed my husband built for me before we were married some 30 years ago. The corner posts are made from cyclone fence posts and he made the rest himself. It is so heavy I can't move it so where it is set up it stays. I have a trip to make this week but when I get back I am going to make new curtains (using old quilts) for the bedroom too. I have my idea in my head I just hope I can make it work and it looks ok.

I am working on setting up my sewing room. Shelves, tack board, thread holder, ribbon holder, etc. I want to make it as organized as I can to help me put all my "stuff" out in front of me for inspiration and ease for projects to come. I know it is a "job in progress" to get it just right and I am looking forward to that too. I love organizing.

Soon it will be bird hunting season and the kids will be here on the weekends so I will be cooking and cleaning but laughing and loving every minute of it. Warm homemade bread, pots of soup, chili, chicken and dumplings, yummmm. And then the holidays...so looking forward to them this year.
