The next day we went to a local pumpkin patch. Lots of pretty pumpkins and stuff to do.
I love the unusual colors and shapes! |
Making a "corn angel"...don't ask! |
You would not believe the amount of corn kernels in our car! Just saying! |
The highlights, though, were the little barn kittens! We held the black one who immediately started purring and got all cozy in our arms. It was all I could do to keep from putting him in my pocket and taking him home!!
The gray one was really cute too. Mini Holbear and Will!
I have been doing some sewing, in-between all the fun. Max's quilt is coming along...
I still have five columns left to do but after that I'll trim it and possibly add a border, not sure about that yet. It's not in the pattern but we'll see. I got this polka-dot fabric way on sale from Desperate Quilters for the backing. And while I was there I picked up a gorgeous Bliss charm pack too.
I'm a little late on my October coffee quilt block, but I did get the fabrics picked out! Some are from Fig Tree's Breakfast at Tiffany's. Another beautiful line!
I've done a bit more fall decorating, here's just one update...I bought the shade, pumpkins and plate from Wal-Mart. Have you checked out their Better Homes and Gardens seasonal section yet? Great stuff!
Also, my dad sent me a gift card to Amazon for my birthday, and here's what I got!
Hey guess what? In a few weeks I'll be having my one-year blog anniversary! So stay tuned, I'm planning a fun little giveaway! OK, the kids and I are going to pick some apples, so I'm off!

Amelia had the same lengthy weekend. Back to school this morning. Sounds like you had awesome family together time! I love the quilt you are working on! What's the pattern?? And your Amazon purchases... great deal! I should add those to my own Christmas list. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place to visit with your family. I am planning to put that Farm Chicks book on my Christmas list. That is if I can resist the temptation to buy it sooner.
