in my sewing room------ FALL is in the air!

No pictures, just a few thought come to my mind........
I had the two little grands today, little fellow and cupcake........
I got some sewing done on my spider web quilt , I have been trying to do a block every day and sometime 2 blocks and it will take me 7 week to get it done, I do have some hand quilting to do on my sampler quilt, 4 more blocks and the border, and them there will be the binding to do, WHEW them it will be done..............
While my little fellow took his afternoon nap, and he does take a long nap, me and cupcake when outside so she could play and i set on the porch to watch her, the wind was blowing and it was so nice to be out and watching her made me think how time goes so fast, me and my sister would play on our farm, but we also had work to do, but this time of the year we was getting ready for school, my mom would take us to get our hair all curly and them we would get a new pair of shoes and a new dress or two and with what we had we would be ready for school. My mom was also busy at home with her canning and working on the farm to get everything done for the winter months, my Dad was Carpenter he could built anything, sometime he would take me with him to work to play with other children. When years when on and it seen like the work was hard to come by especially in the winter month thing would be hard for us but we had love and food that mom had can and milk and eggs that we have on the farm, we made it and we was a happy family, I had 1 sister and 2 brothers. one brother lives by me and my other brother lives in the city, and my sister lives in Florida, and i really do miss her don't see her very much but we talk on the phone 2 or 3 time a week.........
Well this is all for now, going to the county fair tomorrow to watch my grandson pull in the truck pull and also going to check to see if I got any blue ribbon on my stuff that i put in the fair, will let you all know a maybe some pictures. Have a great holiday week in! God is good.

  1. Wonderful memories,Connie.One of the children rode over with James. Pop thought she was so cute. As for the new shoes, getting each of us a pair to the shoe shop was our highlight for the new school year. Back then,a good pair of shoes was just like new after a trip to Bob Milburn's shoe repair shop.The renewed soles were super strong. Nothing like shoes today.Good luck on your entries at the Fair.I know you'll win lots of ribbons. Your work is always so nice.
