October 1 -freezing temptures and possible snow-

I brought in my produce(ripe or not)  ZUCCHINI, TOMATOES, SPAGHETTI SQUASH, ONIONS,  AND ORANGE PEPPER. and covered the pumpkins and carrots. The weather is forecasting 29 degrees and possible snow tonight.

I made a yummy soup using tomatoes, onions, zucchini, spinach, carrots, celery and hamburger. I wish the family could come help me eat my meal with me. But alas all are busy or out of town. I'll share it with Rick tomorrow! Maybe take some to an elderly friend too! I am blessed!!!!!

Repurposed buttons, ribbions, fabric, and chains all from DI

These are some of my Button Creations made in 2017. 

I bought a tub of buttons at DI and this is the result of that purchase.

My only purchases have been jewelery supplies, which has bee minimial due to 50% off coupons for JoAnn's and Michaels.

I've given away one (key necklace) and sold one (two toned blue bracelet-$12.00) 

The rest will be given as Christmas gifts to family and friends.

October 2017 LDS General Conference

I really enjoyed the Women's Conference and Sharon Euank's talk really touched me.

The story was great, the delivery was professional, the 4 points were very spot on, 

but the idea about spiritual gifts really rang true with my heart,

Quilting again!

A neighbor replenished my stock of quilting material. 

She decided she didn't like sewing so gave all of her material to me. 

In exchange I made her a twin size quilt and pillow case.

We both are happy!
