Catchup - Oct 13th-23rd

Oct 13th

I saw this on a friend's page and just had to share it! 💞


Hmmmmm I truly hoped this forecast would be wrong too! Wonder how long it'll last? It started sleeting yesterday when Angela and I were off to get my curio cabinet but just briefly. Thankful for that!


Oct 14th

My version of Sweet Mongolian from Wok Box! Yummy!!! Can't decide if it's with fork or spoon!


Oct 15th

YEAH it's on again! Gotta get my Food Bank stash together!


OMGG!!! I swear this is uncomfortable!!!!! My back aches watching Sam turning in this bed! He has one more his size, but nope, picks this one or the couch!




Okay I played with the pattern of Little Winter Snowflake by Robin Perfetti to add beads to it. Beautiful pattern!  
So I added the beads for the inner rings and outer points with beads on the rings shuttle thread. The middle beads were added by shuttle joins between the three rings with the second join on the side of the smaller ring or outer side of the bead, allowing the bead to sit next to the larger ring!

With beads!

As per the pattern, without beads.

Ohhhh this is so CUTE!!!! ❣️❣️❣️
Hopefully someone has tires lying around to set on a dolly to put out when snow is here to stay, then in spring put away? If so please post a picture!


Aaaahhhh the Bernese napping after some FRESH air and BRISK winds! WOW look at these effects! Origin follows.




Hmmmmm I'm trying that FB effects on my doll. WOW!!!!

On my chair at home.


Taunya I found this FB effects and totally love it! So I'm trying a few of your dogs! Then I just screen saved the video in various stages and saved the best. Not sure if I like it as much with their lighter coats than the Bernese.

OMGG thank you very very much Monica for cleaning up and redressing this beauty for me! She's adorable!!! 💞💞💞




Oct 19th

Got out for another awesome walk with Edna!  Wanted to reach Wellington Ave but only got to Hamilton Ave before giving up.  What's this vine over everything?









Oct 20th

Now here's an easy front door welcoming committee! ❤️❤️❤️




Great idea!


Oct 22nd

Lovely layout for festive gatherings! ✨️
Could be any shape depending on the event!


Thank you Cindy for forwarding this.

Cindy:  Check this out next time you park on John Bruce Rd.



Another good walking day with Edna and Nestor.


Oct 23rd

WOW that wind today made up for the calm we had yesterday!!!! Still a lovely walk to the Forks with Edna and a shared pickeral lunch at Fergies Fish n Chips and a mango passion fruit radler! Yummy!!! 

Then back to my place so Edna can choose from my large Christmas stash for her table topper for the 29th's sewing weekend at Sylvia's! I guided her with cutting all her pieces out, so she's set to go.  

Now to select my own fabrics and prep them too!

Life is Awesome

Oct 11th

Okay I must be sick as I ventured out for another walk with Sylvia and Edna, this time to show Sylvia Kildonan Park.  Thats 4 days in a row for me, but not pushing myself.  And Nestor was there too to join us!  Another lovely day in Paradise!!!!  Who knows when we'll get another chance in ideal conditions, without mall walking!!!

Love the yellow light standard in autumn glory!




Beauties!!!

Nestor and Sylvia trying to figure out the makes!

Chevy truck and twin Cadillacs. 


Oct 12th

OMGG!!! I'm so happy I could have a crying spell! THANK YOU to Angela for being a sweetie with her truck coming with me yo Lockport and picking up this awesome corner curio cabinet! And thank yous to my neighbour Said and great nephew Keirnan for helping on this end to unload and cart upstairs for me!

It's beautiful and when I get my bedroom tallboy dresser, this will move there also to the inside corner visible from the hallway. Then my wall units can space out again and my bears back onto the floor between them! ❤️❤️❤️




Hey Jeanette do you recognize the wrap my 24" doll has on - that oversized tee-shirt had to go (that Sylvia and Len bought me before I started school)?

Catchup - Oct 8th-10th

Oct 8th

Now it's completed, needs washing and starching.  Then try this pattern with beads on the ring shuttle, hope it works up good!


Oct 9th

Another AWESOME AUTUMN DAY!!!! It even inspired me to head out for a walk, so called Sylvia and both of us went for a stroll in St Vital Park then off to Smitty's for lunch! AWESOME!!! Even working on my Snowflakes while catching up on my Boost curling games. Then notices this view and decided to try 'panoramic' setting. 🥰💯❤️

This one was 1X setting.

This was 0.5X setting. You can see the bike route that took away two way traffic AND  half the time cyclists are still on the nearby sidewalk or on the vehicles lane dodging or obstructing traffic!  So stupid and annoying!

Oct 10th

Another lovely fall day and this time Edna joined Sylvia and I for a walk through some of Royalwood and saw the stump where Woody used to be. I'm glad there is a marker at the path intersection as a reminder. Definitely have to go back again to see if any newer carvings again. And apparently the artist was there working on a carving but we didn't see him. Also a couple mentioned Woody was moved to the St. Boniface Museum and got a refurbishing too, that too I've got to see!!!







Ohhhhhh I'm having fun today with my version of a landscape postcard for this month's PFA swap!!!!! Hope it works out!
