Last week on one of my yahoo groups someone asked how many pieces we had done that had never been finished into something. I said just please don't ask how many UFOs (unfinished pieces) we had. So of course, someone asked me. I decided to go through all my tote bags, boxes, etc and see just how many unfinished ones I did have. I didn't count. Let's just say I have waaaaaay too many and I need to concentrate on finishing some of them. While I was looking I came across 2 round robins that I had returned to me. I had forgotten about them. It was nice to find them because I had quite a few that were never retuned. :o( Here are the 2 I did get back.


The Christmas lights one went all the way to Jerusalem! I need to do a bit of finishing on that one as you can see.
Speaking of RRs. I just received my newest one back finished. :o) My RR was LK's Halloween Highway (I think....) I loved how they turned out.

Thanks a bunch to Kristi, Cherie and Jana for stitching on it. The Halloween fabric is arriving in the stores so I can't wait to go and pick some to make small tuck pillows for the back of the couch. :o)
Our garden is finally producing and boy is it! We are getting over run with cucumbers and tomatoes! That's ok though. They are yummy! This is what was sitting on my counter today. And we've been sharing! :o)

On Sunday Jerry, Amy and I went to the annual chicken BBQ and craft show that they have in our town every August. We didn't eat any of the chicken dinner but we enjoyed walking around the craft show. Each year, even if I can't afford anything else, I look for 1 snowman to add to my collection. I look through all the places first and then go back for the one I want. I found several at the same place this year but only bought one. (I did ask, and found out these people will be in in Belvedere, IL for a craft show, in Nov. I think, though so maybe I can get the others. :O) Here was this year's newest addition:

Here are a few pics of the craft show. I couldn't get any good ones without people looking at me strangly. It's pretty big, over 100 crafters. And it was more crowded than these pics make it look. It's spread out and most people were coming in from the other side. The best part is when we leave we stop at the 4-H tent and get deep fried cheese curds. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm......that's the REAL reason we go. :o)




Well, I think that's all I needed to update on. Until next time. Thanks for visiting.
