Finished

Well, I WAS going to post a pic of Sammy in some UT garb and cheer on our team, but Ainge just got picked off.... we're tied with 5:35 left in the 4th quarter. :-( When Matt and I finished dinner, it was UT's game to lose (we were ahead 21-0). As so often happens, it seems UT is choosing that "losing" option. :-(

Either way, here's Sam in a UT scarf Gracie (Matt's sister's dog) sent her. :)


Also, I finished my secret project. Here's the glimpse you already got...

...and here's the complete project.


It's a pumpkin made of leaves! I originally envisioned a red and white gingham ribbon around the stem, and I was SURE I had some, but I haven't uncovered it yet in my ribbon stash. I think this red with do nicely for now. :)

I received the fabric I won from Sew, Mama, Sew! I can't wait to find a pattern and turn it into a new handbag!


And after much searching, I found the red berry wreath I'd been wanting. I never found any at our Target, but we found a couple (most were banged up pretty badly) in Ocala when we went a few weeks ago! Hooray! Here it is brightening up the stove top area.


On that same Ocala trip, we also bought this picture for the dining room. I also want to find a buffet for in there.


While in Ocala we also bought a K (our original reason for going)... but its final project location is not yet complete. So, stay tuned!


Lastly, I decided to take advantage of the pine cones our neighbors' pine trees are dropping in our yard (we don't have any pine trees ourselves). Here are some ways I found to use them...
