MY READING LIST, et al

 

Here's my stack of books to be read...
Being an avid reader, I like to have
a nice stack ahead...
{click to enlarge if you wish}

And...
right now I am reading:
I think that this "44 Scotland Street" series
is so much fun...I will be ordering
the next two when my stack gets
too low...😊😂

*****************************
Here is the finished 5th page 
of my 60th Anniversary Fabric Journal:
[I am going to have find a good 
title for this:  perhaps--- 
"Through The Years?"]
The crocheted lacey bit across the bottom
is a piece left over from 
my Grand-mere's
work that I coffee dyed...
I am finally happy with 
how this
came out..
representing our home 
in the Berkshires;)))

***********************
A N D...
This is what's going into the oven
this morning:

All the leftover bread crusts and stale
hot dog/hamburg rolls all chopped up,
[I hate food waste of any kind!!]
sprinkled with olive oil and spices.

These will go into a 250 degree 
oven for one hour to crisp up;
 then cool completely
before I store them in jars to be
used on our salads...
Y  U  M  !!!!!

*************************
We do have a little bit of color
from our one little maple tree
in the back off our deck:
I really just love that reddish-pinky color and would love to find
fabric in those variegated colors..... 

****************************
This morning after my 25 minute treadmill
walk, I sat down and finished Kantha 
stitching the 9 patches on my
"Dark Days" piece....
Now for the yo-yo's and little florets...

It is coming along....

We are enjoying a beautiful Autumn day here
with a 60 degree temp and sunny skies...
💛I do love Fall...💛
😎😍

AUTUMN VIEWS


           The view outside our back door is really heating up! 


Now who said Red and orange don't go together--in the 1950's you couldn't even think of wearing them together....(boy that dates me!!).

                         Rasberry and gold: yummy

AND inside:
my Christmas (?) Cactus is about ready to join the show:


I got this white variety last year--the inside of the blossoms turn a lovely shell pink as they begins to fade.......

Here is the whole plant that lived out on my front stoop all Summer long


Now it resides in my side tv room--it seems to be happy here...it's
calling to its mate (the brilliant pink one next to it) to bloom, too....

It has been a quiet and gray Saturday here....much reading, no sewing,
but able to prep some more little 9-patch squares for hand work....

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend ...

Hugs, Julierose La Blageuse (hoping for rain-euse)
