My fall list is needing to happen in short order since I'm due with my baby at the end of October, but this is my list as of today:
1. Get well - I got an icky flu this last week and it's really brought me down, so my first order of business is to recover.
2. Sew a quilt for my new baby - I have all the material and a plan, I just have to sit down and get it done.
3. Finish cleaning the house and get ready for baby - with my two older sons (7 and 4) it seems a constant battle.
4. Contact the local hand spinners group as I would like to take lessons on hand spinning this winter after the baby is born and I'm back on my feet.

Molly, thank you so much for the link to "Getting Cozy with Posie" I see she has the pattern for the shopping bag available, which you are right, would be a fantastic Christmas present! I'm going to download it and try it out myself!
Dawn, thank you for the congratulations but Dan and i didn't get married, he's just calling me his "weekend wife" LOL!
I had a bit of a meltdown this morning, poor Dan. I get so overwhelmed and impatient with where I'm not. sih. I have many, many blessings and will try to count all of them today!

I understand about your meltdowns, I've been under a lot of pressure these past months too. Mine have to do with my side of the family and some stuff at work.
Like you, I stop and count my blessings, which are many, too many to ignore! I hope things get better for you. I think we both need to take a nice long walk & enjoy this beautiful day!

Thanks for the understanding Dawn! Amen to the walk. I'm going to venture into the world of Gluten-free cooking today. A friend of ours just had a baby and is gluten-free. I'm going to cook, bake and create a bunch of tasty dishes for her to help with the transition. This should be a grounding, happy challenge for me today.
I hope yours is full of smiles.

I love it gals. You are so energetic when you're young.
Bonnie, there are days I feel so old and then I have to shake myself and remember that 48 is nuthin'. (Quit whining, already!) DH asked me yesterday how I have so much energy and he is always so tired. My answer was 'excess caffiene!' This would get me in big trouble with my weight loss surgeon so don't tell!
Looks like a gorgeous day here today, hope yours is too!

PS...Linda, add a little 4" long narrow-hemmed loop just like the commercial bags have on one side in between the grocery bag handles and you can eliminate a small percentage of the grumpiness from store baggers who hate using these bags. <G> Helps the bags attach to their stands for somewhat easier loading. |

I know that you can be energetic when you are young and when you are advanced in years. I guess sometimes it is a state of mind or not enough sleep. Mine comes from chronic illness and that stupid broken leg I broke. Pain is not for sissies. But I'm not complaining too much yet. With a full list I don't have time to check out, ho,ho.

Now THAT'S what I call energetic! When you finish all that in one week, be sure to let the news media know and your method will make millions (lol).

What a wonderful idea!
My Fall list is to work on the fiber side of our farm.
- Go to SAFF
- Learn to Spin (I've had terrible luck with it up until now)
- Purchase a Drum Carder and a Picker
- Dye lots of fiber!
- Knitting a hats for my children
I'd also love to learn to crochet but there are only so many hours in a day!

Sometimes I think my wish list is bigger than my farm, but I'll try to cull it a little bit!
1. Learn to spin
2. Get a small herd of Pygora goats and Angora rabbits -- in order to spin
3. Finish up some of the projects we've started
4. Finish my raised bed garden
5. Talk dh into letting me have a couple more areas for corn -- for meal and for canning
6. Jersey cow -- I want to milk!
7. Finish the inside projects
8. And most important -- GET A NEW ROOF!!!!!!
Can y'all guess which one'll probably have to come first??????

Make a fall wreath
Make a small quilt for my grandaughter
Paint an old armoire I've had for 20 yrs.
If I get even one of these done I will be happy.

~Try to make dinners from my pantry to minimize spending
~Kick up my exercising a notch or two :)
~Do more research on gardening to plan for next year
~Paint the kitchen and maybe the spare bath
~Finish those unfinished craft projects before I begin new ones ( like numbers 1 & 2)
