 Hello all!!!!
Happy Fall or spring !!
fall here and I am loving it...Fall and winter are my favs for sure....
yes .....I love the cold weather....and the snow!!
right now we are in the thick of a Noreaster.....wild rain and wind....gorgeous day!!


It's been such a beautiful summer here...perfectly beautiful days...no heat..pretty dry at the end but now we are making up for the dry....
I feel so sorry for all those in the drought...not fun at all...


still loving embroidery...just never enough time!!
 I'm really hoping to get my etsy shop finally going soon....I believe this will be in the shop as a pillow!
I may also sell some things through this site too!!
Like this baby blanket...
 I've been stockpiling things so I can put a few things on all at once...

 I finally decided that it was time to buy some of the Stylecraft DK!
I found a place' Deramores' that will mail it to the US... free shipping over $50.....sooooo I had to spend $50 and ummmmm maybe a little more!!
 What lovely yarn it is...I've made 3 blankets so far!!  The colors are glorious!!
 O.K so I'm a foodie....a Major foodie.....This is one of my all time favorite cookbooks and favorite  chefs!!!
This book has many of his New York Times articles and they are a foodies dream!!  So if you too are a lover of food and cooking you might be interested...:)
 This was a gift....A Concord Grape pie...let me tell you it was...the Best fruit pie I have ever ever had....The Best!!!
yes I was the one who ate the corner ......so so good!
 More Flowers!
 So this was My Concord Grape pie...and it was just as good as the first!!  if  I do say.... :)   My grapes too!!
which thrills me to no end because my mum always used the grapes we grow but I have not had the chance to use them myself...so I can feel her looking down and feeling very happy...
                         I kid you not....I have never had a pie as good as this!!!!
Happy to share the recipe.....I don't know what part of the world or country that concord grapes grow....
but if you can get them.....you must try this!
 More flowers!!! these are the end of summer delights!!  the one in the front is a fall crocus...one of my favorite fall flowers ever!!  My beautiful mum always planted them so they always make me think of her...
 Oh !! the finished project!!


Fall in New England!


 Kitties.......:)         This fellow has to sleep in the crook of my arm...such a sweet boy...

  1. Happy birthday! lovely embroidery - I can imagine it being a pillow with the little sheep scattered, very pretty. Hope your Etsy shop takes off soon, good luck with it. I don't know where zone 6 is but imagine it's pretty hot there?! growing grapes and tomatos so successfully? I found grapes in tiny bunches on a cottage wall up near the windmill I visit here - it's not something I had thought of trying to grow although I just remembered there is a vineyard near here - I would certainly like to try that lovely pie with some.
