~*Chilly Autumn Days*~

It is beginning to cool down here on the plains of Oklahoma. Tomorrow is suppose to be really chilly with a cold front coming in. Actually I look forward to cool temperatures. I always enjoy a cup of cider or hot chocolate and some time spent with some sort of needle or hook in my hands.
Today I hooked this quick pillow. It's a pattern I bought while in Fredericksburg, Texas and was done on dyed linen. That's what I like...simple, quick and easy!


I had my little helper today and we did go outside and see the scarecrows and the cows before the colder days come and we have to stay inside more.


This boy is sure to be a farmer as much as he enjoys those cows!


What an honor...Terry of Cider Moon Cottage selected me for this award. With so many wonderful blogs out there it is truly a sweet honor. Thank you Terry!
Now I'm suppose to pass this award along to 6 others...believe me it's hard to pick just 6 but here goes!
Kathy at Rugs of Mine in Time
Sherry at From Sherry's Heart
Rondell at Tomatoe Creek Prims
Vicki at Hog Scald Hollar
Betty at Primitivebetty's

Now I've got to go busy and let everyone know and get back to some unfinished projects!

Happy Trails....Ginger

~*Happy Labor Day*~

It's another busy week and for us Labor Day means of another day of LABOR! I find myself at work today but am pleased that the telephone is not ringing constantly and I can find a little time to work on some needle punch pieces I brought along.

The weather will be changing soon and the days are already beginning to shorten. I want to take a walk in our little woods and begin gathering the dropping acorns to put in my wooden bowls along with my other fall items. I've been hearing a hoot owl over by the pond even during the day...wonder if that means anything or maybe he just wanted to say he doesn't give a hoot what time of day it is!



I've been punching like a crazy lady here lately. I guess you could say it's my therapy.

I came up with this great white pumpkin and it reminds me of the carriage in Cinderalla. I love that little song the mice sing while she is busy working...
Cinderelly, Cinderelly
Night and day it's Cinderelly

now I change it up to fit my needs a bit

Gingerelly, Gingerelley
Night and day it's Gingerelly
Make the fire, fix the breakfast
Wash the dishes, do the mopping


And the sweeping and the dusting
They always keep her hopping

She goes around in circles
Till she's very, very dizzy
Still they holler

Keep a-busy Gingerelly!

It's true I do sing this occasionally and by no means do I have a singing voice.
