Layer Cake Quilt Along / New Blog Picture

Have you joined yet. I just joined, this looks like too much fun to miss out on I am going to use AWSOME Layer Cake by Sandy Gervais. I just love her stuff!

Have you ever tried to take a picture of your animals and they just do not want to cooperate. I am having my blog updated for Thanksgiving and the month of November. They will need a picture for the header of what I am thankful for, well the answer is "my boys" . My wonderful husband Virgil and two dogs Melvin and Oliver. I tried to get our cat in the picture "Martha Stewart" but that was just not going to happen. My husband and Melvin the schnauzer were fine, but Oliver the shitzu mix would just not look at me, I think the camera scared him. So 30 minutes and 3 treasts later I used the best one I could, we shall see. I am told they will have the blog updated in a couple of days, I can't wait.

I am thankful for a loving, caring best friend my DH and my animals. I do not have children but my animals are my Kids! We are lucky we have good friends and family and love.

I am posting the 30 minute picture. What are you thankful for?

Have you had one of these yet?

Have you been to the apple orchard yet, I went Saturday. One of the reasons why I love fall, all of the goodies and the apples. Have you tried a newer apple called Honey Crisp? A woman I work with introduced me to these apples and they are the best apple, my favorite. They are a bit pricey due to being new and all, but oh are they worth it.

My husband is a fan of the McIntosh so a bag of those came home as well as donuts. If you are from the Genesee County area of Michigan there is a wonderful Craft Show being held at the Wolcott Apple Orchard in Mt. Morris MI. If you are in the area stop in for some fall fun, we will be there with a booth selling candy and fabric coasters (my new addiction). Hopefully we will see you there, if not go find some Honey Crisp Apples you will not be sorry (mmmm good)!
