Catching up...

Been a long time since I put anything out here. Been doing a rush order for a Steelers themed quilt and two more as Christmas gifts for cousins back East.   Also working up fabric panels for the holiday season and gifts.  Trying to list things on Etsy.  Nothing so far.  Might now work out..but what the heck! Worth a try!   Did quick embroidery projects for family and friends back East, as well.   It's that holiday thing getting into your bones!!!

Dad is coming for a visit in November. We look forward to his twice yearly visits.

Been attending Church on the Ranch, so this is Sunday and we went and had a good morning.  There is a Children's Cancer Center benefit happening at the Flying W Ranch 11/26, so Skip and I volunteered to serve food there ...it's a fund raiser..so certainly want to see these kids get all the advantages they can.

Collecting for the Children's Village at Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Trying to get gifts and donations in by Thanksgiving so Anne and crew can get them up to the kids before real bad weather sets in.

Gorgeous fall days here in the Rockies. Cool at night and 70's during the day.  Sunshine, blue skies. Can you ask for more?

Looking forward to our trip East to visit family in December. NOT looking forward to weather reports saying ice or snow.  Praying for smooth and clear sailing!

Skip was under the weather for a couple of weeks but is doing well now.   I am plugging along.  Sewing, emailing, Face Book-ing, taking pictures...EATING great food, drinking great wine....it's all good!

Blessings

Pueblo!!

Just spent two days camping outside Pueblo, CO.   Lovely weather. Walked around and discovered Pueblo most of the day Saturday.  Had a fire in the fire ring last night...sat out and looked at the stars.  Just wondering at God's creation.     Camping season is winding down. Bummer.

Opened an account on Etsy. We'll see if any of my 'stuff' sells and if I can keep up if it does.
 
Skip's mom is 87 this week. Gonna get a cake as we usually do and have her help 'serve' to the friends and residents at St. Francis.
