Threes

"They" say that things always come in threes... Well I have had a "three event" in the last month or so.. I had three people give me old reading material.. The first gave me a whole pile of old books and still has more that he would like to give me. The second gave me a stack of old (like from the 60's) Arabian Horse World's, a magazine. And the third gave me a whole box of quilting magazines - mostly from the 80's and 90's.
Has led my mind state back in time to see all of the old advertizing... Ya' know that a chainsaw company advertized one month in a Quilting magazine?? That was suprizing..

Finally Rain

It's been a long time waiting and a lot of dust to settle. My new gauge (full of spider webs) read a half inch. Rained off and on since I checked.. Lovely to see the mud colored horses!
Now I can start getting all of that dust out of my house.
Worked on Halloween small quilt and finished it yesterday! I didn't think me writing down what I do would be such a huge motivator for me to work on and finish things. Maybe I should add a list of horses feet to trim? :)
59 degrees, 98% humidity 9:13 am...

Sunday

It worked! I typed about the Roman Shade.. And made myself feel guilty about not getting the rings on it.. Excused myself right into doing it! And it wasn't as bad as I had thought it was going to be.. First, I had ordered 40 rings but forgot that I had ordered twice as many as I needed. So there were that many fewer to sew on. Second, it wasn't as hard to roll it up to get to the center ones. I used my flannel lined table cloth flannel side down on the floor so it would move around to me instead of me moving to it.. That worked even better than I planned.

Friday

A beautiful day once again. Dusty as has been the norm since Labor Day weekend.. Corn is getting quite brown - will be out before long and then the internet connection will be better and I can put pictures up!

Hummers are still here. Have been watering the P(h)asta garden to keep the flowers fresh for them. And keeping the feeder up.

Got Roman Shade ribs on. Now working on how to hang it.. Directions are good for 2 different ways, each has problems. Think we will use left over board to make blocks to hold it away from the wall and out from the trim piece. Now to get it cut, stained (I didn't plan for that, was going to cover it with muslin), and the equipment including the velcro installed.. Between those steps and the dust, I am procrastinating putting on the rings.

Pieced a Halloween wall quilt. Have batting and back. It is to be my first practice piece at machine quilting not-in-the-ditch. Couldn't resist getting some more Halloween fabric in richer shades. I can't believe it.

Monday

I love sharing my deck! Today three different people came to share their time with me. I love it!! And the hummingbirds showed off for hours! Moving from the maple tree to the Pa(ho)stas to the feeder to the lilac bush and back around again. So fun!

Next year plan is to have 3 flower pots on the deck with those little tiny hummingbird feeders in them to see if I can get them even closer. Maybe even draw more than one pair to live here.

The mares and babies in the front pasture were just as artistic as ever. I never get bored watching them even though when they are just lazying around.
