Catching up from the weekend

This was our booth at our show on Saturday

Held in a nice little school in the town of Berthoud, the facility was clean and pretty well lit for a school's lunch room

While this was not a real big show, we did sell a couple of small pieces and gave out a lot of cards with our web site information on them

So now there are a few pieces on the "to sew" list, but no hurry on them

Considering the state of the country's financial system just now, we really can't complain

It was also nice to spend part of the weekend with our daughter and her husband who live fairly close to where the show was

Now that we're done with bear shows for the year, I'll be working more on some of the jewelry pieces that have been "on hold" for the last month or so while we prepared for the last two shows.

This is the first of those pieces to be finished

The cab was originally bezeled with the idea of including it in a bracelet I did last fall, but adding it would have made the bracelet too long, so it's just been sitting in the work box.

Since I'm trying to focus on some smaller (and less expensive) pieces for the upcoming school shows, I decided that with the addition of some fringe it would make a nice necklace.

I have a couple more of this type of pieces to do and some more beaded leaves to complete as well, but I have time to do this as the first school show is not until the first weekend in November.


And work continues on the quilt

I finished up this block last night while watching TV

Like the previous one, the edges are all raw, ready to be appliqued to the stripping after I put the other blocks together

So today I will be pulling out all the fabrics to do the last of these blocks -- the center one


Meantime, there are the usual fall house chores to start considering -- the tomatoes seem to be done, so we'll be taking them out soon -- maybe today; the green beans are actually doing better now that its cooler, so we'll leave them in a while longer -- and the pumpkins are starting to ripen -- pictures soon!

Last week, before we went off to do our show I ask our neighbor to move the items on his side of the fence that were making it lean against our tool shed. The plan is to reinforce the fence and hopefully get a coat of paint on the shed

Time to get movin'
