Hey Ya'll!

Well it's officially Fall here and the garden is about pooped out!  Alot like the rest of us too, huh?

I have alot of catching up to do on all my favorite blogs as well as around the house.  And since I'd rather catch up with you guys than do housework, figured I'd start here!

To get things in the spirit of the season and because it's therapeutic, I have been sewing away!

And since I promised a purse post, here is my latest one:

It's corduroy and I love it!  It's 'slouchy', like me! 

I didn't put a closure on the outside pocket, that way I can just toss my keys in or grab and go! 

Gonna have to find me some more corduroy and make a few for every outfit, which would mean like, ya know...something to go along with my PJ's :)!

Fall also ushers in a Milestone Birthday for my SIL Jen.  We totally side swiped her two weeks in advance for the Big 3-0!  Anything closer and she would have known!  Just a good old fashioned girls night and most importantly for her...no Screamin' Mimi's! 

In celebration too, she completed her first 5k run!  I personally think she is nuts, but hey...some people dig the run thing!  Good Job!!

Tomorrow should be fun too, we are going to a Fall Craft Show here!  Fall is the most awesome time for decorating as the colors go best with my house.  Love it!

And even though I say the garden is almost tuckered out, we still have lots of root crop that needs to come up and then of course pull all the old plants and get some good manure spread.  Nice thing about these tasks, we don't really have to get it done on a timeline.  Which is why I have been SUCH a slacker!

Man, I feel some good Chili coming too!  I love soup weather!  I plan to pressure can some even.  Never tried much along that line, but I intend to be fearless! 

Now I gotta go...time to read about a zillion of your posts this slacker has missed out on!  Oh, and get started on my next project too...

Isn't it cute???  The house doesn't really need to be cleaned, does it???
