Rick's Been Busy

We wanted our sidewalks in before the rainy and snow season so we wouldn't have the lovely red mud to deal with. Rick got them both done and they look terrific. You can see the front walk with the solar lights we put around it. The lights don't give off a lot of light so the neighbors shouldn't complain.

Well, blogger didn't put them in the order I had them so we now jump to the back sidewalk. You can see the pattern Rick put into this one. I really love this one. And now we can get to the garage without getting mud on us!

Back to the front one with a little longer view of it. The curve looks great. The lawns are going dormant for the year. And I have put some artificial plants in the pots. The white "stick" is actually a tree.

Here is what the back looks like as you come off the back steps.

And this. . . is what we did with the arches in the dinning room. We found these on-line and they were the perfect size for the arches. When we measured the arches, 42 x 64 inches, we were really surprised at how big they really were. But these are perfect and we both just fell in love with them. They really add to the room.

Another Table Runner

Our class this month was this beautiful fall table runner. I had actually done this type of leaf before on the John Deere Quilt I did for Dad.

It is really beautiful and colorfull.

It really "pops" on the table as Rick says. It certainly puts color in the room. The candles are really an orange color and are not tilting. That's just the angle.

I had purchases the candles to go with this table runner from last month. So far, the four table runners I have made have really been fun to do.

It's November

It's November and here is my button up quilt. This is the month of Melissa's birthday and Susan's birthday. The month we all go vote and and start getting ready for winter. But most of all, it's the month we give Thanks. We are so looking forward to Thanksgiving this year. We've been in our home for a little over a year now and still have not one regret even with the problems we have had with the house. Also, weather providing, Scott and family and maybe Raelena, are planning on coming down for the holiday. We are really excited about that.

I get to take several quilting classes this month and am really excited. In fact, I've got to run right now as between 10-11 this morning is the block of the month and I've doing it.
