More from the Weekend - fn

We were so excited that Bob & Shirley were making a trip to the east coast doing some geneaology research and wanted to stop by the farm!  And - we were going to be there at the same time.

Bob - Uncle Bob, not Grandpa Bob had assembled a toy kitchen for John.  We were amazed when we opened the box that it was all small snap-apart pieces that had to be put together.  Fun project though.  Now John has his own kitchen.  We had a wonderful time.

Work Weekend at the farm - fn

We had several days at the farm.  Bob says we got lots of things "half" done.

They worked on building a woven wire fence which is our first.  The neighbor had put in the posts and Bob and Charley rolled out the wire.  They had to stop, though, because there was not a brace post at the end of the length of wire, so charley will have to take care of that and then he can stretch the wire and continue.  So, right now, it looks very "saggy," but it will get there.

Any fence tips from Dale or Daryl - or anyone - would be welcomed.

Labor Day with the grandchildren, S & R while Mom and Dad were on a roadtrip. Legos are from about 20 years ago when their Dad and Uncle Sam were young. WL

Marblehead, OH Lighthouse - Coast Guard Reunion WL

Wendell and I attended a Coast Guard Reunion in Port Clinton, OH.  I climbed this Lighthouse and the guide took this picture.  Notice my back is against the wall, never went to the railing.

Newest Project - fn

Here is our current project.  C&J are expanding their chickens, so needed more nests.
Bob & I really enjoy working on things like this.

We are going down to the farm tomorrow.  Then Bob & Shirley are stopping to visit as they are doing a road trip to the east coast.  We are excited!

Progress

Another one done.  A made this for M while they lived in Panama.  It needs a label.  I just need to find my pen.

Gooner is helping me with this one.

And it is done.  Except for the label of course.

This one is for La & Q for their wedding over 2 years ago.  The backing was from the curtain from their wedding.  The front is a paper pieced pattern called Twisted Star.

I think Gooner likes this one.

It is pinned and I have started sewing but it isn't done.

And this one is pinned but I haven't started sewing it yet.

It will be a while for this one.  We weren't happy with our quilting job so I am taking it all out.  One disaster out of our week wasn't so bad.  We are still learning.

First one Completed!

The binding is done!!!

Here is a pile of binding waiting.
