Quilt – Babies – Etc.

Nothing much has been happening around
here lately….nothing fun anyway.
And I think that is good with as much as we had been going all
summer and into the Fall.

But that being said we are taking our last trip for
the year starting tomorrow.
(We have someone here taking care of things and the kitty –
so all is well and safe)
Heading to PA for the wholesale show and then spend a
couple days with our cousin.
I still buy small things that I know my customers would like – and then sell them  on my other site – yes, I quite making my Penny Rugs but will still try  and find fun things to share and sell to you my friends.
I like to pass on my bargains.

I’m also very excited because I’m having lunch on Thursday  with a blog friend.  K (Kathleen - http://kskronicles.blogspot.com/ )  and I have known each other for several years now from forums and now blogging.  We have tried many times to meet up but always  something on my end stopped it from happening.  This time it will happen.
Anyway we are going to A Tea Affair in Lititz

We decided on the High Tea menu – K said the food is wonderful and  you get lots of it and they do it up just right– just what gals like!
I’ll post pictures next week of the real setting/food.

 

Last Sunday the Ladies Guild at church displayed the quilts they make for the  different hospitals/veteran’s/children’s hospitals.

They placed one over the back of each pew – anyone could purchase  one if they wanted to so I did – the money also helps with the shipping  and other things pertaining to the quilts.
During the year I give them as much fabric as I can and I saw lots of it in the quilts.
Wish you could have seen the church that day – so bright and cheerful.
The quilts are simple but made with lots of love – they aren’t  like the quilts of ‘yesterday’ but they have meaning and I’m happy I purchased one.  It’s going to go on the bed in the 2nd guest room….there is quite a bit of Red in the quilt  but difficult to get a good shot of it.
 

 

This week I also made a wonderful Apple Pie – we bought
some Cortland Apples – my favorite for baking.
Needless to say it didn’t last long.
 

Got a picture of little Zayne off of Alex’s FB page – wanted  her to send a larger one for me to get developed but haven’t  seen it yet so had to use this one here…he’s sporting his  new sweater and hat.  Look at that little round face…
 

We went to visit Darren and MaryAnn last Friday and finally Miranda let me hold and play with her – never thought that would happen.  But – mommy and daddy were gone so she had no choice…LOL
 

She loves to dance to Barney
 

Bought some more wool a few weeks ago at Cottage House Primitives in Lodi.
I hadn’t been there in a couple years so it was a fun visit.

I’m working on building my wool supply so I can have enough to
make the large MITTENS pattern I bought this past summer.

That’s it for now – I’ll check in this next week if I can while on the road.

Before I leave you though, I’d like to ask for prayers for our pastor.
We were told today at church that he is in St. Luke’s hospital with a brain tumor that came on him
suddenly – at least the bad effects of it came on quickly.
It is about the size of a baseball and pushing the brain to one side.
After they find out the source of the bleeding from the tumor they will do surgery, hopefully on Tuesday.
Please send prayers his way for him and his family.

Thanks to all for visiting and following me – old and new followers alike!
Blessings,
Karen
