Friday Fun

I have a few minutes while I enjoy a cup of  Java...I spent a lovely morning with my cousins wife yesterday,  shopping, lunch and we had "PIE" and much laughter.  Her birthday is Saturday and she gives me oddities only crafters would marvel at.

I try to always make her a Vintage card, (we both are aging to rapidly) !!   And the photo is bad..it's dreary around this area, with high humidity and fog early.

I also gave her a little thank you for always taking time to think "I could use this"  and I can, just not real quickly !  This is the top of the little corrugated  gift box

 And a little fall pumpkin with embellishments from one of her drop offs.

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Fall,  it's the day we share our workspaces and I hope you'll enjoy the process.  Julia at the STAMPING GROUND hosts this every Wednesday.  And friendships abound from our visits will all who get involved.

I've had some free time this week, as our weather has been foggy, wet and humid. Not my idea of being out in it. And have several projects in the works. I have made 2 birthday cards, and will post later in the week as I need to deliver them this week.
Cardboard ATC's and Pumpkin shaped cards with orange paint for some fall cards, lids run thru my embossing folders, and cheap glitter ribbon from the dollar store.

 These 2 tables are an "L" shape with my sewing machine to the right.  But truthfully since I set this up there is so much better lighting, I tend to use it more for all my projects. I have yet to learn all the computer functions of that new machine. And get so frustrated.

 More tags using oxides and sari ribbon I have made flowers out of...will share later,

And our little Bailey wondering why I'm prowling around taking photos, he's all snuggled up in the afghan, as our mornings are really cool.

Have a wonderful week, thanks for stopping by

Welcome to the Wednesday post for What's on Your Workdesk hosted by Julia at the STAMPING GROUND.  My desk :    It's still a mess but with different things.

After 2 years I have finally put together a Halloween Album in the shape of a House. If I can get a day home, I hope to finish off the pages with some of the things on this desk.

 This is a fabric table, has some of the dyed papers on it but want to stitch the crochet flower to the fabric pumpkin for a birthday gift.

I made one of these fall pumpkins from corks my sister has given me over the year, this is similar from Pinterest, as I can't find any photos of the one I made.  DIY  has instructions.

Short and sweet, we are off to the last fair of the season in Iowa...and Thursday it's making tomato juice again. The garden is still producing.

Thanks for visiting, and have a great week.

Welcome to Wednesday, the day we share our desks.  Julia at the STAMPING GROUND has hosted this and you can play along, visiting others or sharing yours.

My 2 active working spots are both a mess. So many things going on with the holiday.

 I got out fall and Halloween decor for the house and papers, embellishments, etc, but haven't had time to play with them.

This area is my painting, coloring area but really nothing fun happening.

These are being sent off to my 3 little grand girls.  While visiting this July, they had 1 someone gave them and wanted more in different colors, One of anything for 3 is a battle.   Very simple, easy for them to wear and no worries of loss etc. Just ribbon with velcro.  And Velcro in the stores is terrible expensive.  Found this in the $1 store and it compares very well with the small amount I had here.  I plan to make some with flowers or metal hearts centered and attached, but wanted to make sure these would fit.

Last week I posted the pretty papers I made from Beet juice, well this is the same left over beet juice, but it got old and discolored....so I used a fabric piece and paper to make some brown tones.

I made more tomato juice this morning and have to do some zucchini bread. We had 3 older friends pass this week and all will have family visiting from away.  Thought I'd stop by with some goodies and extend our Sympathy.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy a fun week. I am sure my favorite season "FALL' has arrived. Crisp and Cool.  Thanks for all the great comments last week too.
