(threads not included)

for a Fall Stashing Give-a-way

on Feathers in the Nest!

I'm itching for Fall right now, literally, with a Ragweed allergy from......well, a hot place. ;)

Ezema is the name of the game right now.

So, I'm looking forward to that first good frost which is probably a good ways away when ragweed and other allergens pass away; however,

getting a jump-start on Fall stitching is just plain fun to do in anticipation of cooler days, sweaters, boots, pumpkins, mums, and leaf-color, day-tripping here in the mountains!

If you are like me and usually can't find your spectacles to stitch your designs, you need to make a pocket for them to stash in your purse or stitching bag.

Included in this give-a-way are the new pattern of The Spectacles Pocket by Primitive Traditions (Quaker style), Kelmscott Acorn Thread keeper in Mother of Pearl, and a 13 x 18 cut of 32 ct Vintage Autumn Field Belfast linen!

Important reminders are:

1) post only to this posting if you want a chance or two or three for this lovely set

2) must be a follower new, or old, or anything in between. New followers are always welcome!

3)international accepted

4) for 2 chances make a separate posting and name your most favorite thing about Fall, whether it be flowers (mums), food, cooler weather, football games, school-starting, or any other Fallower-friendly thing that makes you smile.  ;)

My favorite thing about Fall is starting up the fireplace at the homestead. I love warming toes together with my honey by the fireplace!

5) for 3 chances post a separate posting that you have shared this on your blog (if you have one) in some way.

Starts today and ends August 31st at midnight EST USA.

Good luck!

The Dog Days of Summer--Ren

This morning at 1am I definitely needed to refine my little pattern I made inspired by a rainbow yesterday. I couldn't help but think of Ren. So this morning, I cleaned it up a bit. Note to self not to post freebies until looking at them the next morning....LOL

You can  substitute your pet's name if you would like and the colors and fabric of your choosing.

Ren, was a long, faithful friend.

I hope your Saturday is filled with rainbows!

Good food and a good book

Dessert tonight was first trial of frozen Cinnabon cinnamon rolls, baked in the oven for 20 minutes. Really good and goey.

Found them at Walmart in the frozen section and they were definitely worth trying for a quick, easy, sweet-tooth treat.

Got a book today I ordered in the mail after it was recommended by a friend this past week. Shipping was ultra-lightening fast!

Now I have 2 of Francine Rivers' books on my table, ready to read for the weekend.

I can't wait to start this one.

So glad the weekend is here. The morning started out in a rush but about half-way to work saw a full huge rainbow all the way across the sky. I haven't seen a rainbow in a very long time.

I actually had my camera with me but no memory stick in it so I couldn't get a picture.....but I wish I could have. I've honestly never seen a rainbow that big.....evah!

But the scene on the way to work was very similar to this pic here:

It's been exactly 1 month since Ren passed. Maybe it was a reminder he was waiting on me at Rainbow Bridge?

On now to the weekend~~~
