What a weekend!

Well...I went to the craft show, but...not too many people showed up. I think they only had an ad in the paper twice. Oh well...I wasn't out anything. MIL paid for my table and it was only $10. I am going to try another one at a local church on November 4th. At least I don't have to make a lot of stuff for it. Everything is already made. I did sell some of my broom corn, all my twinkies, and most of the truffles. Everyone loved my items, but not enough to purchase I guess. Hopefully this next show will be more publicized. Plus it will be closer to the holidays.


Besides the craft show I dropped off our rent check to Becky. She is the one in charge of running the rental and all. After we moved in Ralph..the owner... passed away and Becky took over. Well...I guess things are not going well. Her sister wants "her money." She wants the property sold by Dec. 31 of this year. So...Becky didn't say we had to move out, but I think it would be best. (She would have liked us to be able to stay for 5-10 years) Becky is discouraged because she was hoping they could hold onto it because her boys wanted a piece of the property. Well I guess the sister already contacted an auctioneer and he said he would bring developers in. How sad to see almost 300 acres go to a developer. But...that would bring in the most money. Isn't it funny how people want "their money" from an inheritance when they really haven't done anything to earn it except be born to that person. If my parents leave me something..that's fine, but if not..that is fine to. My family is doing just fine. We are not planning on using the "inheritance" to purchase anything big. I don't know..is it just me? Well I should probably get back to work. At least now as I sort through things I can put them in boxes to prepare for a move again.

I love those socks! How do you do them? I would love to make some for my three daughters.

I just sc around the edge of the sock and then made up a edging as I went. The socks are stretchy enough and "holey" enough to get the steel hook through. I loved making them.

Melanie, your items look great. Too bad all the twinkies went. =) I am sorry you have to move, but I am even sorrier for Becky. To have a greedy sister that will not wait and possibly let a family farm stay in the family. That is what motivates too many people in this world... The love of money and greed. Any ideas on where you will move to?

By the way, they are doing Garage sales on my street on the 13th and 14th of this month. So, if you have things you want to get rid of while sorting, come on over.

Thanks for the info Marci. Not sure where we will move. Hope to stay close to Fredericktown so Brian is close to work.

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
