Goodness, this has been the most amazing weekend! I got a ton done . . . finished one quilt top, finished a patchwork shower curtain, started and completed a quilt top and made 4 little primitive felt pumpkins. It is amazing what you can get done when you have no responsibilities . . . if I could just figure out how to bottle this and bring it home with me . . .

Hugs & Blessings,

Brenda

Thanks Girls . . . it is wonderful. I will get the info. for you, though I think she does them all different locations in Idaho each year. This is my first year and I just came at the suggestion of my friend, so I don't know much . . . she knows the gal that runs it through following her blog. I will start following her blog and will post the info. for you all once I get back.

Not to rub it in (well, okay, maybe just a little . . .) but we had the most amazing breakfast today . . . peach and berry kuchin (Is the the right spelling . . . I know it is pronounced kutchen). I make one with peaches all the time, but have never added berries. It was sooooo good. And amazing quiches too. Lunch was more basic . . . a nice chicken and pear salad with bruchetta with fruit and honey cream sauce. Still very good. Can't wait for dinner.

I did the most hilarious thing today . . . I am embarrassed, but I will bare my soul to you farmgirls . . . I decided to make some funky purses out of some funky pants I had. I had one pair that were jeans with darling embroidered pockets and another pair that were jean style but were a funky rose colored paisley print corduroy. Anyway, I have observed these cute purses out of the pants for years and just assumed I could make them without any instructions. I didn't take into consideration that the butt is bigger than the front and there is a silly curve in the croutch. Anyway, the first attempt was the jeans one. I somehow, in trying to not have it look like a croutch, made it "concaved" in the center and it looked very bizzarre. So, thinking I had learned from this one, I did the corderoy one. This one I believe has a tumor in a very bad place . . . I tried to remove the tumor but it just got worse . . . LOL! My friend laughed hysterically at me, I quickly hid them from the other crafters and we will be burying them before we leave McCall. I am thinking I will actually read some instructions for the future. I have always made fun of my husband for not reading instructions and now it seems I am just as guilty! LOL!

Hugs & Blessings,

Brenda

Not jealous, not jealous, not jealous. It is not healthy for a person to be jealous. Not jealous, not jealous, not jealous.

Looks beautiful there and amazing weather for this time of the year! Enjoy your weekend and looking forward to seeing more pictures.
