Another Winter Day!

I pulled on my boots, coveralls, jacket, hat, and gloves and went for a walk around the farm. Oklahoma can be pretty windy and as cold as it today thought I better bundle up!



Our feathered friends are happy to share a meal at the feeder.



The sun is shining even if the skies are a bit gray.



The pond is icy in spots and quite muddy.



Doesn't seem to bother the ducks that are happy to take a swim on a cold day.



Don't believe I'll be going for a ride in the boat anytime soon!



Going through the woods.



Saw a few deer tracks.



Yesterday I enjoyed some fun at Country Collections at our monthly rug hooking guild.
Pati was working on this penny rug.



Sandra finished hooking her Autumn rug and was ready to begin the binding.



Kaye showed some of the finishes she had accomplished.





Well it was a good day today to take a walk around the farm but it feels even better to be back inside. Looking forward to keeping warm and working on a few projects tonight! I think I'll go find something for supper first :)

Christmas Parties!

Sloan enjoys going to a lil' preschool twice a week for a few hours. He will be having a party tomorrow and today we made these lil' snowman sacks to take with a few goodies inside.



He took a few breaks and played with the snowmen and super heroes.



Asleep in PaPa's chair.



Tuesday's Christmas party at Country Collections.....Food, Rug Hooking, Gift exchanges, and lots of fun!



























Chocolate Delight~ A dessert my daughter Jenn made a few days ago and we enjoyed it and it's super easy to make.

Layer in a bowl bite sized brownies, chocolate pudding, cool whip, and then on top add chocolate chips, toffee bits, and I added in a few pecan pieces. Enjoy!

Needle Punch, Rug Hooking, Quilting, and a Wool Santa

Well what a Saturday! Danny had the alarm set for 4:10 am yes AM and he headed out the door to go striper fishing. I love to fish but this was a guy trip. I had other plans for my day.

I loaded up the truck and I spent my day at Country Collections giving a lesson on needle punch. This was Barbara's first time to give it a try and she did an excellent job on her pumpkin and crow.



Pati Jane taught a class on making a wool Santa....




Karen was busy with her Mom taking care of customers and putting out all the lunch goodies!



Rug hooking lessons for first timers!



Sandra was giving Renae a lesson on piecing a quilt.



Pati Jane helping a little on the rug hooking lesson.



Sandra taught rug hooking and quilting today....she is multi~talented!





Karan is a first time rug hooker and did well on pulling her loops. She is concentrating and so intent on getting those loops perfect!



Judy is also a first time rug hooker and did a great job on her rug also. They both were pulling up loops easier by the end of class and we found out that Judy and Karan have been friends since 5th grade....how great is that!





Vonda and Karen are the owners of Country Collections and have worked hard to make this a wonderful place for gals to come and sit, stitch, hook, paint, needle punch, rug hook and find all kinds of patterns and supplies. So....If you are ever in Moore, Oklahoma be sure to stop in I'm sure you won't be disappointed.




Well we had a fun~filled day....Danny caught some fish, I got to enjoy visiting with new and old friends. Hope your day was a good one, too!
