Blessings

 Bless the Lord, O my soul:

And all that is within me, Bless His holy name!

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:

Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases,

Who redeems your life from destruction,

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

Who satisfies your mouth with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalm 103: 1-5

A Drive in the Country

 

What a gorgeous day for a family drive in the country.

Beautiful scenery on those winding country roads.

 

The leaves are just beginning to turn colors.

Back to our crazy hectic schedules tomorrow!

Have a great Monday!!

First Day of Fall

Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year. Too bad it's so short. Among the things I love the most are: cooler weather with beautiful clear skies, watching the leaves and trees change colors, Thanksgiving, baking and cooking once again. 

I've started making pumpkin rolls early this year since I had such a great interest last year. 

I've been busy with homeschooling and taking care of my home and

making time to sew with friends this week. We truly have to MAKE time to 

spend with loved ones and friends, it doesn't just happen!!

We've been making some of the cutest little zipper pouches ever.

I loved them so much I've given them all away as soon as they were made

and have no picture to show. 

but......you can find a gorgeous picture at the "Make it Perfect" blog, along

with some wonderful 

directions with pictures. 

Fall Colors

Beautiful Fall colors.......

We are playing catch up here at home. So much has been going on with my dad having surgery and my dd1 sick last week with that nasty flu bug!!
We are looking forward to this week!

Fall Break and a Layer Cake

Our family took a little Fall Break Get-Away this past weekend!!
We had a great time and enjoyed a little shopping and a little relaxation.
We found two wonderful quilt stores.

As you can see below on the cute little bag, the first one is called
The Cherry Pit.

It's located downtown Sevierville, TN.

If you're ever in Sevierville or Pigeon Forge you have to check out this awesome store.
I bought a new pattern for a table runner and some cute fat quarters in fall colors. Also, two tea towels that I hope to get appliqued with pumpkins and turkeys.

The next store doesn't have a website but it's equally wonderful!!
Machine Quilting by Iva!

I was so excited to get home with this "Layer Cake" that I forgot to take
a picture before ripping the ribbon off. It's called Gobble Gobble by Moda.
The colors are gorgeous!! Rich golds, browns, burgandy, and oranges!
I've already started piecing these for a surprise gift quilt.
Can't tell you who just yet.

Oh, and we did enjoy some R&R time!!!
