Busy days...

Good Evening my dears..
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.. 

Concerts, shopping, decorating, and such has been the theme around here like everywhere else.

Anyway, just posting a few preparing for the holidays pics for you.. 

Tea dying some fabric... 
I am trying to make gifts to include with the gift cards everyone seems to want this year.. 
Including my Mother.. smile.. 

But we still need to eat.. 

One of our daily soups.. smile... 
Well, maybe not daily but quite often.. 
This is the Italian Wedding Soup that I posted the recipe HERE..

On Saturday we had some freshly groomed company...

You remember Charlie..
So cute... 

Made an apple pie with mostly all Splenda.. 
It was very good and only about a 1/4 cup of sugar.. 


It did not last long.. 
I supposed I should of showed a cooked pie instead of this..smile..

Another step towards finishing the the snowman heads...


Spray glue and glitz... 

Some dollar store articles to make over.. 

My new friend Lori from Texas was telling me about bleaching these trees and I think I may do a little reindeer bit somewhere... 
We shall see.. smile..

Well, I finally got all the garlands and such finished..
I came across a roll of country style old lace type ribbon.. 

I made some door knob hangers and sideways garlands, too.. 
Great to add to the regular gifts.. ...

Another salad... 


Again.... 

I did manage to get some decorating done today.. 

A lot more to do although I am trying to cut back on it all.. 
Trying to just add lights and boughs and not replace the whole house.. 

As you can see we do not have any snow yet.. 
Although, we had a bit driving to church yesterday morning..
It did not last and turned into rain... 

Someone loves playing on the his little tractor.. 
I tried to get a picture of him walking it.. 
It looked like it was a horse and he was walking beside it but by the time I grabbed my camera he was back on.. 
I wonder what he would actually do with that big tractor he dreams about.. grin.. 

Here is the piece of fabric I tea dyed..


Cloth labels.. 
Now what can I do with these?  
I will show you later.. smile.. 

Are you ladies making anything for gifts and such?  
I would love to hear what you are doing.. 
Thanks for your dear visits.. 
So enjoy hearing from you all.. 

Take care and will chat a bit later on.. 
God bless your hearts..
