My Fuzzy Child




We have been so busy lately that my darlin' Lucy has been bit neglected. She usually get a bath every 2 weeks or so (being in the shop everyday the fuzzy child picks up sanding dust and dirt and she does sleep on our bed)  I realized yesterday that it had been probably a month since her last bath, when I looked at her little face and realized that her "bangs" were in her eyes.  So I cut the hair hanging in her eyes and gave her a bath last night...hoping to clip her tonight...too bad I can't recycle all that dog hair into a sweater.

Here Comes Autumn...



Happy Fall Everyone...We have leaves starting to turn on the maple tree in the front yard although the old oak trees are are still summer green. But we have acorns...acorns all over the yard. Acorns hitting the roof of the house and the shop. In the shop it sounds like we're having rocks being thrown at us. Wishing ya all a beautiful Autumn weekend!

Making Mummies...

Had the Grandbabies on Saturday night.  
Once I had Mariah J  down for the night, Dylan and I put together
Mummy candles made out of jars for Halloween.

 

 First we coated the glass jars with Mod Podge...a little messy when a 3 year old is helping but he actually did a great job. 


 He liked painting the glue onto the jars.   Then we wrapped the jars with cheese cloth and coated the cheese cloth with more mod podge.  Dylan liked doing this until his fingers started sticking together and then it was up to Mom Mom to finish wrapping the cheesecloth on the last 2 jars.

 

 Dylan was so serious when he picked out which eyes went on which jar.  He inspected several sets before finding just the right ones.


 We then added the small battery lights that flicker like candles.


 And the finished project...3 Mummy Candles for Halloween.

Along came a spider...my favorite.

2,977 American Flags May We Never Forget


Saturday morning, Lou and I went to the annual Fall Flea Market at Putty Hill Park.  As we neared the park we saw American Flags in front of Parkville Police Station and Fire Station. We then noticed the line of flags on Putty Hill Avenue.  They lined both sides of the street for probably close to a mile...between Harford Road and Old Harford Road
in Baltimore County.  This was quite an inspiring sight.
 We live just 2 miles from this section of Putty Hill Avenue and did not know of this yearly event in memory of the victims of September 11th.

Vintage or Old?



I smile at the word vintage. When we got married, 37 years ago, we furnished our house with all the "old" things family members weren't using or didn't want. Some of these pieces are still our favorite "vintage" treasures.

My 1968 Camaro had that foot pedal for the high beams you clicked with your left foot. 
I miss that car!

It's All About The Shoes...


There's Magic in The Slippers



Dorothy had it right...
A pair of shoes can change your life.


Faith, Hope and Love
can work wonders,
but Ruby Slippers can't hurt either.
