So, it’s October. I love the fall. I wish the fall still had the cool breezy days like when I was growing up in Kentucky back in the 1980’s…but I still love the fall. Rob and I did a little searching to see what average temps were like here back when I was in elementary school. On average it was about 7-10 degrees cooler for this time of year. I guess global warming is real.
Anyway, I have been kind of busy with some new crafts. I wanted to post a few pictures. It’s taken me a while to get back to this blog. I contribute most of that to the fact that I am homeschooling Grace this year and so my days are much more committed now. (It’s worth it though) But I still find time to do some fun projects of my own.
Recently, I took Grace on a field trip to Haney’s Apple Orchard in Nancy, KY. We had a great time getting ready for the trip. I think we read every book in the library on apples! We made these apple shirts as a project to wear to the apple farm. It was a fun easy project. I did this project with a friend of mine, Kim, who has 3 girls. I think we had more fun making the shirts than the girls did. They turned out great and we want to thank Martha Stewart for the inspiration!
Sam didn’t get a shirt. Maybe he will when we do pumpkins!
Don’t you think Kim and I should go into business?
I also have been making some tile coasters lately. These were a birthday gift for a friend. I hope this doesn’t spoil Christmas for anyone:)
Here is a picture of my sidewalk BEFORE I painted it. I have finished painting the bricks on the top but I haven’t taken pictures to show the finished project yet. Plus, I ran out of yellow paint for the porch and have to go to Lexington to the nearest Home Depot. So, I hope I get this project done before cold weather sets in. But this is a little teaser picture for ya.
I’m also knitting hats for all of us! I have finished Grace and Sam’s and started mine. I haven’t uploaded those pictures yet, but I’ll try to post them soon. I forgot how much I love knitting!
