Autumn Round Here!

Hello from the comfort of my dining room table!  The dining room looks out onto the back deck….which looks down over a very leaf covered lawn!

You can see the deck railing, and part of the gazebo where the hot tub is.

I was amazed after being gone 9 days how much has changed.  We stopped last night to get the Hubster’s pick-up---it had been in the shop the past few days and he had been using my Shamu.

I drove on home with Sadie, while he went off to an appointment --- and I took in my surroundings.  WOW!  What a difference 9 days makes!

When I left for Illinois and Texas there weren't any leaves down yet.

Not a whole lot of leaves turning color here, but there has been a lot of rain, and quite a bit of wind and they are falling on the ground!

I love the smell of the leaves in the fall!

My driveway is covered since we are surrounded by woods.

There will be much leaf blowing going on soon……things were very wet, and wet leaves don’t blow ---gotta wait until they dry.

I was also greeted by this lovely surprise:

White Camellias in Bloom!

It LOVES these cooler fall temps and is bursting with blossoms in every direction.

So pretty!

Chloe even loves the cooler temps!  She was very chatty this morning and winding around my ankles for attention – which NEVER happens.  She is usually quite stand-offish and just wants your attention for FOOD, not for petting – but this morning she was purring up a storm and pushing her head into my hand for “more, mama, more!”

Okay, now you can feed me!

I had always heard that Ragdolls were cuddly – not so this one!  She may let you pet her a bit, but don’t try to pick her up – she will scramble to get down and get away ---we take her loves as she offers them, few and far between, and are happy with what she allows us.  LOL

Today is a busy bustling day!  Guess what was on my doorstep last night when I arrived home:

Ring Around the Hexies!

Pre-Orders will start filling today, and orders will go out in the order that they were received.   I’m hoping to have those in-waiting out by Tuesday when I leave for Colorado.

If you haven't ordered yet --take a visit to my online book store HERE; 

We are headed to the cabin late this afternoon for the weekend ---where I will be putting our Mystery Quilt top together ---deadlines are swirling all around me, but we will getter done!

In looking at my calendar and figuring out WHEN is the best time to send out Yardage Requirements, it looks like it's going to be October 23rd after I get home from Colorado.  I want to be sure that I have this right and I am going over every unit to make sure we list the correct amounts (This is not a piece of cake when offering 2 sizes)

And I've got to pick up our paint chips at Lowes! :)

I've been asked when the next Quilt-Cam will be -- so I'm giving you a heads up for Monday Night at 9pm Eastern, and that is a MAYBE.  It depends if I can get all done I need to do before leaving for Colorado on Tuesday.  So stay tuned for updates on that.

Much love back home in NC,
