Pilgrims

I worked on the Pilgrims and Indian that I am selling at the Bazaar . 
 I have two sets ready for next weekend. 


This next picture is closer up but not a very pretty background in my garage.  
They turned out so cute!


This weekend we are celebrating Jack's birthday.  
He turns 10 and is excited to be in the double digits!
Sunday night the family will come over for Baby Back Ribs, Twice Baked Potatoes, 
Salad, Cowboy Beans and Ice Cream and Cake.  
Thanks for stopping by.

Signs and a Witch Hat

 I finally finished my Witch hat in time for this weekend.  Debbie and I saw this in downtown McKinney when they visited us a couple of weekends ago.  We took a picture of it and came home and made it the next day.  Isn't she a cutie????  Those are raindrops on the hat brim.  Cool and rainy in McKinney today.
Happy Halloween!


Here are the football signs that I make for the bazaar.  
This one is for Oklahoma. 

Below is a Texas sign in their colors.  

Cowboys Sign.
It was great working in the garage today.  Nice and cool.  
I even found time to make a pot of chili for dinner.  
We will be sitting in front of the TV watching the Rangers Game tonight.  
Thanks for stopping by.

Lunch again!!!

Tuesday Pat and I went down to Waters Creek in Allen, TX.  
We hadn't been to that development for a long time and wanted to see what was new in the area.  
We stopped at Grimaldi's for pizza and beer.  It was delicious. 
I almost forgot to take a picture of the pizza.  
It was Italian sausage, onions, kalamati olives and fresh sliced tomatoes.  
Yummy!!!
On the way to lunch I asked Pat to stop at Hobby Lobby 
so I could purchase some Doll Hair for my carolers.  
When we got home from lunch I worked in the garage until 6PM 
putting the hair on their heads and the songbooks in their hands.  
Now they are marked, bagged and ready for the bazaar.  
I made 24 of them this year.  
Today our friends from Omaha are flying in and so it is going to be a fun weekend!
Thanks for stopping by.

Candy Canes and Lunch with Pat

 Here is a picture of the 15 Candy Canes that I completed this weekend with the help of Steve and Tre'.  Now to put the greenery and bows on them and they will be ready for the bazaar. 
I think I mentioned that Pat and I went out to lunch last week.  
Here is a picture of us in the restaurant.
It was a good time and yes we did have a little wine!  
Today there is no school, so we have Jack all day.  
Sam just called and wants me to take him to school at 3:15 
to get ready for his football game tonight at 7PM. 
It will be a beautiful night sitting on the bleachers.  
I have been working in the garage most of the day.  
I will take pictures of my completed project in a couple of days.  
Thanks for stopping by!
