This and That

I baked my Christmas bread again yesterday.  I did Blueberry, Raisin and Cherry.  All but 1 loaf made it to the freezer.  Hubby had to taste the Cherry to let me know how it tasted.

Here are my 10 doll quilts for the Giving Doll for this month.   I set a goal for myself of 10 a month and so far this year I have made that goal.

A few years ago I made these crocheted tape measure covers and sold a lot of them.  A friend just ordered these 5 the other day.  I guess I better see if I can find more tape measures because I used all I had on hand and when people see these they may want one too.

I was looking for patterns to use up some of my #10 crochet thread and I found this bookmark pattern. I think it is so cute and had to try the pattern.  I am happy with the way it came out and it was easy.

Our Giant Oak tree out front has not had acorns on it for several years but this year they are bigger and a lot more of them.  Hubby raked up several 5 gallon buckets of them the other day and the yard is full again and they have not all fallen yet.  You have to be careful out in the yard that you do not get hit in the head with one.  We have a total of 3 Oak trees.  The ones on the left are from our tree and the ones on the right are from the neighbors tree.  Big difference in their size.

Christmas Breads and a Flower

Here are the first 20 loaves of Christmas breads that I give away as gifts.  I made 15 loaves of Banana and 5 loaves of Blueberry.  They will be wrapped and in the freezer very soon.

This is the first bloom on my Star Gazer Lily.

Bath time.

Sheep in their pens with coats on to keep them clean.

Goats.

Tractors that are older.

Getting ready for the horse pull.  

They had to pull this year on the racing track because of too much rain making mud on the normal pulling track which is in the background.  This team was just getting lined up.

Ready to hook.

Hooked and pulling.  They add blocks to this sled after each team has pulled the distance.  Then they pull again and add more blocks till no team can pull it.

One plant display.

Quilts and other needle works.

Garden art.  Can you see the fish in this birds mouth?

Wooden projects.

This is one BIG snow plow.  I sure hope we do not need it this winter.

Happy Labor Day

Hope all my family and friends that are celebrating Labor Day and a great and safe day.

Scarf and Table Runner

Here is the latest scarf I made using up more yarn.

I was playing with fabric and working on my machine quilting skills and made this table runner.
