Show week starts tomorrow with the take in of the quilts. I have all my quilts ready, threads trimmed and tidy.
 |
| Quilts in bags, sewing machine table ready for the demonstrations... |
My bears turned out kind of cute. Not prize winning cute, but nice.
 |
| Aye caramba! Daca grew a moustache. |
 |
| Elmer is ready for hunting season. |
All the other stuff is ready for price tags. I have a few more items I hope to finish, but if I don't, they will be nice Christmas gifts!
 |
| It will all go in boxes later today. |
 |
| Basket full of chickens! |
 |
| I attached snaps to some of the bibs, but it was a frustrating task! |
 |
The squeezy tool was nearly impossible to line up with the snap parts, and I wasted at least ten snaps. Prying them off the bib was difficult, and I managed to do this before I switched to velcro...
 |
| OUCH!! Pinched it and made a blood blister. |
Mr Wazoo took a partial day off from yard tinkering and quilted a couple of customer projects.
 |
This quilt is so cheerful and pretty! I love the fabric selections.
 |
He used the panto, Small Splat, which is perfect for quilts like this.
 |
The backing is this soft polka dot fabric
 |
This lively, colorful quilt makes me happy!
 |
The hearts and flowers panto is called Springtime
 |
Yowza! I love this backing!!
When Mr W finished his quilting, he was off to the nursery for some plants. He has enough shrubs for the rest of the driveway now.
 |
Why does every shopping trip he takes end up looking like this?
 |
Or this...
 |
I guess its okay when it turns into this
 |
Or the driveway looks like this!
Here is the tree that fell in the back yard. Way back and not bothering anything. We'll leave it where it is.
 |
| I'm glad it didn't fall toward the house. Its a tall one, so I think it would have hit us. |
|
Later, we were sitting in the living room with the doors and windows open, and I mentioned it smelled like dog poop. Old man says, "oh...it could be the compost in the truck..." Turns out, he also bought a load of cow manure and parked it below the bedroom windows. I had a fan going in the window, and it was dispersing the aroma through the whole house. Yum...
What would I do without him? Its always an adventure.
 |
The source of the smell
 |
My windows, with a fan wafting the smell into the house.
(oh yeah...Go Packers!!)
Everything was fine by bedtime, so I guess its okay to have a load of manure under the window overnight. But, today, it has to go!! I'll be in the studio.

Your bears are adorable, and you KNOW I love those chickens! I will miss being at the show and taking in the quilts tomorrow. Thinking of all of you setting up and having the best weekend of the year!
