Pics of stuff i am selling for mom

finished this quilt top!

 This is a pattern called Chop Sticks.  I switched it up and used a bunch of scraps to thin my fabric piles.  If I had it to do again I would probably switch a few blocks around but otherwise I love it!  Next step, quilting it when I feel like standing for about 8 hours.  Its king sized (photo is on queen size) so it will be a doozie to iron and quilt.

Dumbest stop sign ever.

This may be hard to see, but it is a dumb stop sign. There are no cross roads.  No paths.  Just a field.  And a stop sign.  i make sure to run this EVERY time I go to my dad's neighborhood because a) a cop can;t hide anywhere on a straight flat road and b) it infuriates me.

I have created the most epic gift ever

the most epic White Elephant gift EVER!

I used coke points to get it and it was 10 bucks in the long run!  

Prince on a Unicorn. That is all.

Owls

Mom, where is the crystal owl?  As a kid i played with it all the time when you weren't home to tell me to get my dirty paws off of it. 

I feel like 1 or 2 others are missing. I am afraid to put them on display at home or work because people might think i collect owls and start adding to the collection with sub par owls. So i reorganized their home and gave them a fresh box.  They outgrew that Agner shoe box from 1986.

It's that time of the year!

T-shirt quilt i just finished

 This is the T-shirt quilt I just finished!  The quilting was done by this group: http://www.cambridgelane.com/ for a great price and wonderful quality! 

I got a new (used) car!

Baby honda is getting up there in miles so she has been replaced.  Poor little thing.  Anyway, this is my new baby.  She's a little older than i wanted but she comes from good stock.  Her previous family treated her well and I will try to do the same!

The wedding officiant

Mom, I thought I should go ahead and warn you...the guy on the left is the officiant for the wedding. 

PUMPKIN!

 I carved a giant pumpkin tonight.  I first started just to get the seeds.  I ended up destroying them because they were soggy, soggy, soggy, then BLACK!  oh well.  I tried.  The inside of this pumpkin was super foamy.  like cutting through great stuff foam.  Pretty cool because it was not slimy AT ALL!  This is only like my 3rd ever.  What a fun evening!

I fixed this!

So my old tenant left a light colored bent wood stool.  It had sat on the stoop and got stained and filthy and moldy.  I was going to put it by the curb and then I decided it would work great for work!  We have a shower in the bathroom and we needed a stool.  so, i scavenged some stain, stained it black and then did 3 coats of poly.  YAY ME! 

Bee flower

I thought this was cool.  There were at least 20 on each flower cluster.  They were napping or high.  You could pet them and they didn't do anything.  Awesome!

Little Free Libraries

So I saw this recently and knew exactly what it was.  Its a tiny library!  Take a book, trade a book!  They're popping up all over and I decided to trade out books.  I stopped, threw the car in park, emergency lights, ran over, tossed my book in and it was easy.  There was only one adult book so i went ahead and took it.  It's Patricia Cornwell.  It'll be a fast read one day.  I now know of one on McLendon and another in Kirkwood.  Maybe those will be better.

Go to www.littlefreelibrary.org and somewhere in there you can find a map of all the registers tiny libraries!

Good morning vietnam!

Oh Jesus, 3:55am, Scott's running late for work (not his fault, they changed the call time) then all of a sudden there's terrible screeching from the kitchen, a dog explosion, screaming, then the dogs catch the villian that was already caught by the glue trap and then it's Turkey (my dog) and a live screaming mouse and Me and Scott trying to pull the glue trap and live screaming mouse off of Turkey. Let me say, that glue trap was WAY under the oven so Turkey shouldn't have gotten to it except the mouse was only half on it and well, that sucked. BUT, olive oil gets glue off. Oh and maybe the jerk ripping the insulation out of my oven is gone.  sorry no pics. 

Hillcrest Orchards

 I stacked goats.  I got my hair eaten by a goat.  I at on a bull and pretended to really ride it.  I picked apples.  This was an excellent Super Action Sunday!  Oh, we also got to milk a cow and see cloggers.  Really, what more could you ask for?
