Fun and games?

 As soon as I saw this photo by Dale Stewart (and shared with his always kind permission) I knew I wanted to play with it...

I had to wait until the dollar store had plastic skeletons available and once I got some, I turned Dale's photo into this...

"I Told You We Were Lost"
measures approx. 24x20"

FOR SALE!

Can you see the wee fox?  And here's a closeup of the bottom corner...

I had the orange floral beads in my stash for ages and finally found a use for some of them.

- If you crochet, have a look at the free patterns found HERE and if you knit, go HERE.

- I know you all were just waiting for me to share THIS!  Go ahead, I know you want to try them.

- I think I'm going to have to try out THIS process on my cutting mat.

Today's quote..."Just a reminder that watching birds is better for your health and well-being than watching the news"

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian readers!

 

- THIS is a dose of nostalgia.

- And HERE is something that would be cheap to make - and would serve all sorts of purposes (including gift giving!).

- Have a look at the wonderful weavings by THIS artist!

- Quilters might find THIS a good resource.

Today's quote is from  JRR Tolkien...."If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world"

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.
