  LeeAnna  and the gang are discussing will you hand out candy this year? what kind? Will you wear a costume or something funny like cat ears or tiara or face mask? Yes, we will hand out candy.  I think we have only ever missed one year.  We don't get a lot of children on our street.  It is supposed to be rainy tomorrow, so we likely won't get a ton of kids.  Still, I have hidden the box of candy from my hubby.  He can't resist it.  It is best that he not know where it is! I will not wear a costume.  That really isn't my thing.  My granddaughter can hardly believe it.  She started talking about her costume way back in July!  So cute. As I mentioned last week, I love clearing things out!  At least, when I am in the mood for it.  I have been in the mood for it big time lately.  This week I took a carful to the thrift store.  I have started working on more things to let go, including my photos.  Yikes, the...

Work in Progress Wednesday

 I added the blue flowers to this wool mandala.  I think they look great.  It doesn't hurt that it is my favourite colour! I think that finishes this one off.  I am dithering and wondering if it needs just a bit more of something.

Mandala Monday

 These aren't colours that I typically use.  Nor is this the style of mandala that I typically do.  It is good to break out of the box and do things differently.  These colours are perfect for this time year don't you think?

Slow Stitching Sunday

 I added the blue teardrop-shaped pieces to this mandala.  It needed just a tiny bit more to be finished.  Now I am happy with it.  It feels so good to be working towards finishing this project.  Definitely in the home stretch! I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

  LeeAnna  has asked do you still rake fallen leaves or just use a blower to clear them? We usually rake the leaves in the fall.  We might use the leaf blower over some tricky parts though.  I remember the year that Banksy was a puppy.  It was a gorgeous day and I was watching our son's dog, Whistler.  The three of us went out back, and I raked the leaves into piles.  Those two puppies had an absolute riot running and jumping in the leaves.  So cute! I love to travel!  This photo was taken when we were in New Zealand seven years ago.  Hubby sent it to me this week and commented about how cute we look!  He found a good deal on flights to NZ and wanted to tempt me.  Such LONG flights!  I am not keen to do it again.  Besides, there are so many places that we haven't seen yet! I like clearing things out.  I have to be in the mood for it though.  We have lived in our house for almost 40 years!  So, there are...

 I added beads, butterflies and stitching to this wool mandala.  Now it feels finished to me.  Yay, another mandala gets moved to the definitely finished pile!  Progress feels good!

Mandala Monday

 Maybe this mandala isn't yet finished.  I thought when I added the butterflies it was done.  Now looking at it again I feel it needs just a bit more.  I have a tendency to stop too soon.  That isn't a huge problem because I can always return to a project.  It is easier to add more than to take away!
