Mid Week Happenings

 The weather has cooled a bit. We had a bit of rain, but it’s still windy, so the rain didn’t help much . Fires are still burning in our area, none of them fully contained. No loss of life or homes, but grassland grazing areas are devastated, many ranchers lost cattle. Cattle are important , it’s their bread and butter! 

On a brighter note, I got a haircut! Well a trim, actually. I’m going for a different look. Wish I’d taken a photo when Cassie finished with me. I was pretty pleased! This morning however, we are back to flat and a bit longer. I’m leaning toward a perm! Hmmmmm? 


No makeup, wrinkles and all! Why is it the camera pic looks worse than how I see myself in the mirror!?

Today would have been my mother’s 102 birthday.  I miss her lots! Especially today!



I actually got to spend some time in my sewing room. I made 2 sets of 2 seasonal napkins for my youngest granddaughter and her fiancé in Vermont. 


I’m trying to use up this variegated thread that has been in my stash a long time.  The directions were shared from Little Penguin Quilts.  That Moxie Girl’s instructions are here!  I made 7 napkins for our oldest granddaughter and her family, and two for our daughter for Halloween last year. They are reversible rectangular napkins from 2 coordinating fat quarters. You can see that post here!


Halloween themed


And Thanksgiving too!


These will go in the mail to Granddaughter #3!


Linking up with Susan at Midweek Makers


Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!

  1. I think you look wonderful, Judy! I'm never happy with photos of myself - especially selfish - they are challenging to be happy with. Great napkins, too! Aren't those fun to make? They'll be perfect for gifts!

  2. Those napkins are such a great gift - very pretty.
    I like your haircut, and I think you look beautiful. I had to cut my long (shoulder length) hair all off and have been depressed about it. My hair had gotten quite damaged from all the highlighting. It is currently in a short layered cut and most of the highlights are gone, and the natural color is awful - lol!
