Junkin' and Jumpin'

First I went junkin'.
 
Then I went jumpin'.
 
 
I know it's that time of year for all kinds of things with many legs to appear out here but I literally got wrapped in a HUGE spider web and the spider ran across to the flowers but the web was stretched from the roof, to the table, to the birdfeeder and back to the front of the porch.
 
 
I had my camera outside to take a picture of the sweet sunset this evening but ran into this one that has definitely taken up the porch.
 
 
Oh yeah! Rounding the corner of the porch was "entangling".
 
 
I'm sorry to say it but he is not boarding here at the homestead any longer........
 
 
The day otherwise has been awesome! The sun is out for one!!  And I feel some change ever so slight back to the drier air and hopefully much cooler this weekend I hear.
 
I went junkin' today. I think I've adopted Thursday for junkin' day. I had something in mind I needed in the kitchen but instead found a gallon bag of  38 forks and 40 spoons for 8 bucks. Stainless steel.
 
 
Now I think I have enough for guests!
 
 
I even found a stitching frame for a large project still new in bag and all the hardware looks great......5 bucks.
 
 
and I couldn't resist this little Colonial Williamsburg piece for 3 bucks.
 
 
 
 
saw a sweet, heavy pewter angel frame in a pile for 2.00. I can't wait to stitch a small in this.
 
 
and finally a small bit of progress this morning, early with my coffee before I started the day.....
Battle Hymn of the Republic, by LHN, Lakeside Linen, DMC floss
 
 
I even played with a scrap piece of this Gingham linen I got a very long time ago to do one over one on a freebie by Liberty House Primitives "With God All Things Are Possible".
 
And for a nice evening it is, even with spiders.......I can't wait for the weather to change up this weekend!
 
Till later after I watch the show Hoarders,
