Two cards for friends.
One is more of a thank you and the other...just a note of encouragement! :0)
Weekends are wonderful....a time to be outside and also get some art finished....always a joy for me!






My letter is "S" for the banner........everyone had a color choice and then some a theme too. Here are my fabric banners for a swap for the word...ARTISTIC.

Today we cut the grass and edged and then set up our Fall fun! The little hay square, skeleton hand(coming from underground), spider on the real pumpkin, corn stalks(from Dad's garden) and little Fall scarecrows! Now, if you look in the left front window, you will also see a ZOMBIE! :0)Muahahaha!
Last weekend I worked on making the second little garden there on the right, and I plan to extend the left one some and then add a walkway in between to join to the sidewalk from the drive! It should look great when it is done! That might not be for another year! That is ok, we will get to it when we can. Everything is always MORE work than one thinks.....you know how that goes. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs,Patti

Amber took this picture! Isn't it beautiful?
We have seen a few monarchs lately and they are grace in the air! And every so breath taking to see up close! :0)
Hope you have a great start to your week!

Sad news at our home this weekend :o( Amber's little pet rat "Sweets" died unexpectedly last night. She was a very sweet and gentle little creature and will be missed. Lots of tears over her here.......sniff sniff. Amber loved her and you can see the happiness she brought in the picture of Amber and Anthony and Sweets. Such fun in a small bundle. Bye Sweets! <3

Here is an envelope for my Nephew Ben who is at Bootcamp for the Navy! I have been writing him once a week and getting more and more creative with his envelopes! Hehehe, I am sure he misses his family , so on this one....I have my Brother, his wife and the kids all there and I put a sailor hat on Ben! I think he will get a kick out of it! I will have some fabric art to share with you soon..........everyone have a happy Moanday (Not a spelling error! :0)
