Out my back window this morning.

Could not see the mountain this morning for clouds and fog.. but the sun came up on the hills in the foreground and its was beautiful.

Happy Thanksgiving .... eating!

We had lots of yummy food... Nathan smoked a turkey on the grill. Looks like Mr T. is all ready to eat.

The pie choices were pumpkin and apple custard. The apple custard one I won't make again... its one of those recipes you try once I think.

Off to the quilter....

I finished a quilt top this week. It is a variation of the French Roses Pattern.... with what the quilters call a "fussy cut" flower in the center of each block.

Fun Fall Decorations

I discovered a simple little decoration in the quilt store this weekend. To make these fabric pumpkins you need a fat quarter that looks like fall, a roll of toilet paper.. preferably a double roll, and ... if you have some left over batting you can wrap that around the toilet paper roll to make the pumpkin more round. Set the roll in the middle of the the fabric piece that is laying pretty side down. Bring the fabric up to the top of the roll and tuck it into the hole of the roll. .. if its a little shy in some spots just work with the fabric folds and you can tuck it in to look attractive. Lastly... get a small piece of a tree branch for the stem.

The pie baking grandma.

Let him eat cake.... the day after the party.

Grandma turned 88!
