oops - a squirrel....

  I rather like THIS for fall decor - not expensive if you forego the primer step.  As long as you're careful with it and seal the end result I don't think it would need it.

UPDATED TO ADD:  I made one!  The RC just emptied a can of pumpkin pie fill so I absconded with it and made the project.  Will have to check the $ store for some appropriate flowers/leaves to add.  

- THIS would make  a lovely gift for someone.

- I'm rather intrigued by THIS.

- HERE is something fun to make for fall.

- THIS is a little bit different take on a pincushion.

Today's quote...

A little glimpse

 Today I can show you a glimpse of what's been happening with the latest landscape....

- THIS would be fun to make for your fall/Thanksgiving/Halloween decor.  And, if you use milk jugs, perhaps THIS might be a fun use for them.

- And THIS is a great idea too!

- THIS takes you to a pdf for a really sweet bird quilt.

- I like THIS for fall too.  And THIS as well.

- Be sure to have a look at the gallery of THIS incredible artist!

Today's quote is from Marthe Troly-Curtin..."Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time"

Nothing to see here

 I've been working on the landscape but all I've done is spend hours quilting it and really there's nothing new for you to see.  So....you know what that means, don't you....

- THIS is a cute little guy that makes good use of a thread spool.

- I can see lots of possible uses for THIS.

- Have a peek at the amazing creations of THIS artist!

- HERE is something you might like to try.  And HERE is something else.

- Being that it's fall, perhaps your thoughts turn to making popcorn, so THIS might add a great flavour.

Today's quote...

More bubble, bubble and a beginning

 On Monday the RC and I made Onion Garlic Relish and if you want the recipe, go HERE.

And, I have started another landscape and here is the beginning stage (original photo is by Dale Stewart and, as always, with his kind permission)...

-  Perhaps you might like to make some of THESE to display on Remembrance Day.

- THIS little guy made me smile.  As did THIS little fellow (sorry it's a paid item, but I like it!).  And THIS one is positively awww-worthy!

- I think there are multiple uses for THIS

Today's quote (slightly off-colour!)...

Bubble, bubble.....

 Over the weekend the RC and I made two batches of zucchini relish.  The smaller jars and several of the larger ones are for Christmas gifting.  Togetherness in all things at Chez Magpie - the RC does the chopping and I do the actual processing.  If you want the recipe, it's HERE.

- THIS looks like something cozy you could make for fall.

- I wish I had known THIS when we still had a garden!

- Hmmmm - sometimes something just defies logic, but on the other hand, perhaps it's a good idea?  Go HERE.

- If you know someone who uses a walker, perhaps they'd appreciate THIS.

Introducing!!!

 

HIM AND ME VIII - WAITING FOR SANTA

FOR SALE!!!

(measures approx. 24x22")

- THIS is a rather nice one-skein cowl that might make a wonderful gift for someone.

-If you're a knitter, prepare to lose yourself in what's available HERE.

- I may have sent you to see THIS before and if I did, I apologize.  It's worth repeating anyway!

- I've seen bowls, but THIS is the first time I've seen this idea for dinner plates.

- Food!! Of the non-fattening kind (go HERE and scroll down)

Today's quote...

Home again, jiggidy jig

 We are home but still getting back into the groove of things.  While away #1 son helped me purchase a new Samsung Galaxy A17 phone and now there's a huge learning curve once again.  I was ever-so-proud of myself that I managed to figure out how to connect with our home Wi-Fi, but then returned to earth with a thump when I attempted to move some photos from the phone to the computer.  Still haven't figured that one out and finally gave it up for a bad job and I will try again another day.

While we were visiting our family we had many really great meals (including a wonderful risotto/steak dish that our chef son made for us).  We saw the live theatre production of 'The Hobbit' which was loved by all of us, and went to a fun outdoor Art In The Park, along with their local farmer's market.  We also had an epic crokinole tournament one afternoon.  It's been years since the RC and I have played so it was fun taking on our grandson.  (if you aren't familiar with crokinole, you can read more HERE).

I haven't had time to search out any links for you this time but will return to the regular mumblings on Friday, along with a reveal of the latest landscape.
