Time is flying by.... (or trying to keep my head above water!)

Where does the time go????

It has been a busy week and all of a sudden, it is Thursday and I have not blogged!!!!

Recap....

many, many leaves were raked....



Sugarbaby, Nature Boy, and I went on a field trip to a nearby creamery (really learned a lot!) ...



and got a close look at the calves (about 3 months old) too....



saw a lot of wonderful old houses along the way....



enjoyed some nice fall weather (okay, you may not think 46 degrees is warm but in November in upstate NY, 46 degrees feels good in the evening!) ....



but wait a minute!!!!

Didn't I say it was fall????!!!

Tuesday night (that is, November 10), I spotted someone hanging the Christmas lights at a building (what???) ...



and a house nearby has had these decorations up and bloated for about a week (and I haven't even started making my holiday gifts... yikes!!!)!



Seems I may have lost track of time!!!

So...... after the landlording, homeschooling, mothering, wife-ing, I found some time in the sewing room and worked on this Quacker Quilt....



thanks to LauraJ who inspired me with her wonderful quilt and gave me some info on the Duck, Duck, Goose panel.



(Hope to have it done in time for yet another fundraiser coming up. )

I whipped (well, okay.. dyed) up a half yard of this luscious version of midnight blue (needed some for a binding) ...



...to use on this... my Waverunner Quilt... which is now done!!!!!



I am really happy that I ripped out the original quilting and went with my initial idea of concentric circles...



The bottom of the sleeve has to be tacked down....



but there are only so many hours of good lighting (it is fall, you know!) ...



Trying to get on to my next quilt-a-long project soon!

And what a mother won't do for her child....



Yes, I truly am...


(Back soon! Before winter!)
