My Week In Pictures

Happy Saturday to all my friends.  Hoping you have had a good week and are enjoying the weekend.  Today as in so many places in the U.S. the temp. was so hot and I chose to stay inside all day long.  Nope, to hot to go junkin for me.

I decided to work in craft room most of the day.  Had been wanting to try a new pattern, and I have to say for something to be so simple, it almost got the best of me.  Don't know if my heart was not into it, or if all my "marbles" were not working today.  Slow day for this old brain. But I would not be defeated.  Here is my finished product.

Love that you can put a tea light inside.

Sorry just realized I covered the mouth with the twigs.  He does have a mouth.

.Also got a few other things done in the craft room this week.  Finished up several stitcheries, and made these little ones. Now who could be superstitious of these black cats?

On Wednesday, the mail lady was so nice to me, yet again.  I recieved a giveaway win from Sandy at the Old Country Cupboard. I was one of 3 lucky winners.

I won one of her reindeer feedsack pillows.  It was so much bigger than I thought and gosh, it smells so yummy.  And I got a really cute card.  Want to see another picture of the pillow?

Thanks Sandy. You are so generous.  Okay you guys, don't vote me off blogland but I will be so glad when winter time gets here, the hot temps. are gone and I can decorate with this pillow!  How about you?  If you haven't visited with Sandy you should stop by.  She does up some great patterns and so generous with her freebies. 

Last week when we were away for our anniversary , I showed you a picture of one of my favorite stores, Ressurect.  My purchase in there that day was a simple ordinary item. I am sure all of my chicken lover friends in blogland have many on their farms.  This was my major purchase. 

Yep, just a plain old chicken feeder.  No I don't have chickens and some of you know the story of why I am terrified of chickens.  When I was small I was chased by a mean old rooster and  I was running and fell head first in the hogs trough and it was full of slop. YUK!  Now you may laugh but to a little girl, I was terrified.  Thus my fear of the real feathered friends.  But nevertheless, this is what I have done with my feeder.

It now sits on my island and holds dishes.  Yes, yes, Mr. P.. pressure washed it, cleaned it really good and put a clear coat on it for me, so it is definitely clean and safe to use.  Now I have lots more room in my dish cabinet.  Maybe I will be on the lookout for some new dinnerware, hnnnnnnn.  Just don't tell Mr, P. (giggle)

So that about sums up a pretty busy week here at the homestead.  Mother has had a few bad days this week , but then there have been a few good ones as well.  Tomorrow is the Sabbeth Day and on that day God rested.  Sounds like a great idea to me.

Thank you all for stopping by and welcome to my new followers.  Love your visits and your comments.  Until we talk again.......
