Thursday.........

 Getting lots done around here....finally.  I took all the brush I had cut down and put it across the street.  I called City Hall to tell them and they put me on hold so long I finally hung up.  The heck with it.  I shook rugs and vacuumed and tomorrow I'll wash the floors.  I paid bills and I put away some clean clothes, and then washed a load of rugs.....there will be 2 loads. 

Today is the 13th so I worked on a Halloween XS.....I will work on it again on the 31st.....

Remember the pansies I planted last Fall?  Well, they are hardy because they are up and blooming!  I want to press some so I found a pattern on Home Depot for how to make a flower press and it's a beginner woodworking project...just what I need!  Woodworking is something I've always wanted to learn.  Here's the pansies.....

I also got an Amazon order........I hate dragging my ironing board out for just pressing quilt blocks or pieces or a cross stitch finish.  I tried using a towel but it's too squishy and it doesn't press well.  So, I finally ordered a wool pressing mat which will be great........... it also comes with a silicone iron pad.....  

I got some lavender scented crushed walnut shells and emery for filling pin cushions.....

and last but not least...this is the bees knees.....self-adhesive clear sleeves that hold an index card.  I'm going to use them to label  plastic bins.  You can remove the card and change it and/or remove the plastic envelope.  This is a game changer!  I can put an inventory of what's in the container without having to rifle through it.

The reason I blog about these things is that I find out about them from podcasts and other bloggers or I wouldn't have known they even existed.  So.....I figured I should share the info just in case it is something you might find useful in your life.

 Here's a little funny for today although where I am it is in the 70's and beautiful...no humidity so far!

Happy Trails!!!
