All wheated out

Forty five years ago yesterday Resident Chef made the ultimate sacrifice and married me.  Poor guy had no idea what he was in for!


💖I think I'll keep him.💕

 I am so over stitching wheat!  Mind you, I love the way it looks but man it was time-consuming!!  Now it's on to quilting the sky and then I can call this one pretty much done.




- Because this is a blog filled with randomness, how about playing with THIS idea!  Why should kids have all the fun!

- Some of you might be able to make use of THIS.

- Read about THIS amazing artist and then check his gallery HERE to see some of his incredible creations.

- And have a peek at the work by THIS artist.

- THIS takes you to a pdf for a fun fall project.

Today's quote is from Monika Kristofferson..."If someone doesn't live with you, neither should their stuff"

    1. Thank you! We went out for a steak supper so it was a lovely day.
      And yes, I have quite enough 'stuff' too!

  2. Happy annie, both!! And so true about stuff. That's how clutter happens -- your parents' and kids' stuff mysteriously get into your house.

    1. Thank you! We got rid of a ton of 'stuff' when we moved into the apartment and told our kids that if they didn't take what was theirs it would be gone one way or another because we simply didn't have room. Funny thing - they didn't want any of it!

    1. Thank you - on both counts. So sorry the booster laid you low...sometimes the 'cure' can feel as bad as the disease itself.

  8. I hope you had a very happy 45th wedding anniversary. RC looks and sounds like a keeper. :) Your wheat embroidery is very pretty. It does look intensive, but very worth it (from my point of view).

  9. Congratulations you two. Glad you have each other.
    I just finished 2 patchwork pumpkin pillows earlier today. No leaf in that middle. That's unique. Got 2 more to go. Part of last year's seasonal pillow cover gifts started for the girls at Christmas. They wanted a Fall/Halloween to be the next.
