pig pen

 This again is my collection of pig cutting boards. I was not happy with my previous display, so when my buddy, Pat was here this weekend, we hit some flea markets as well as some retail stores and we got an inspiration for a different display.  I had picked up some fence pickets this summer for a quarter apiece and did not know what I would do with them, but being the cheapskate that I am, I hit upon an idea.  The Mr. got busy and helped with my project and after a little drilling, and screwing and painting, look here!

I have yet to finish with a sign at the top. But it is on it's way.  We decided just to lean it and then it can be moved so anyone who knows me understands that I move things all of the time.

This past couple of weeks has been so busy, and I am not complaining, but it has not afforded me the time to get to some things.  This week my friend was here on Sat and Sun, Mon I caught up a little, Tues I quilted, or sewed really at the library with several friends, Wed I had an applique session, Thursday was lunch with retired school employees and today again is UFO (unfinished objects of the fabric or needlework items) and tomorrow is to shop for Thanksgiving.  Speaking of that, my neighbor invited us to join them and friends so I volunteered to make several things to help out.  It was so very nice of her and she also asked if I knew of anyone else, just to invite them also.  She invited a couple of single neighbors also....what a sweet thing to do.  We are truly blessed with good friends and neighbors.

The library here is a wonderful place for the community to access!  We were able to secure a room every Tuesday to have for the day so that our little group can quilt.  We sign up for 3 months and there are accomodations for our machines and irons, and cutting boards etc.  There also is a coffee shop and sandwich shop in the building so it will give us a place this winter to congregate together.  Hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful!
