Thursday On My Mind

"I am thankful for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home...I am thankful for the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby."
 
~ Nancie J. Carmody 
 
 
Thoughts on this Thursday before Thanksgiving ~  It is very cold and very windy and I love it very much.  Every time I look over at our dog today she is staring at me with total love in her eyes...right back at ya sweet pup.  Who, what, where and when were all of these clothes in the laundry pile worn?  I love acorn caps, jingle bells and piles and piles of fabric.  My glue gun is quite Hot.   I really, really love these quite days before the holidays begin.  I have gleaned enough crafting goodies to last me and ten of my friends until the end~of~time.  I love Uggs.  I want to marry 'em.  The old fashioned pressed apple cider that I am drinking is really stinkin' delicious!  Maybe I will marry it too!  I think I will make French onion soup for dinner.  I wish I lived closer to my Mom.  I wish this war would end.  Just some random thoughts swimming round my ol' noggin today.
 

This face of fur and I walked a couple of miles today for the third day in a row...take that high blood pressure! 
 

 
 This tennis ball should be a food group!
 

 
She looks like she's singing...la, la, la...

 

Made some of these for ETSY...

 


Blowing in the wind...

 

 I love copper spray paint for the holidays...

  

Cut up an old vest...re~purposing gone wild...

 

 It's coming...I can smell the sweet smell of freshly cut pine...

 

And now, back to painting burlap and gluing acorn tops to anything that will sit still!

I hope that your Thursday before Thanksgiving is full of wonderful thoughts and activities.

Smiles ~ Ramona

Ramona, your pup is just precious. My old girls still look at me with love too. Dogs are just the best!

Your pillows and acorn bells are adorable. I admire your talent.

Hi Ramona,

It sounds quite chilly around there! We had a couple of pretty cool days then today I have been able to open windows again. I LOVE having my windows open with a breeze blowing through.

The quote is beautiful because yes, we do have a home.♥

Your pup is just absolutely adorable every time I see her picture.

I want to be one of the 10 crafting buddies you have. Guess what I did for a while today? I glued little acorn caps to jingle bells and glittered a few of them. They are just too cute and I hope you don't mind.

Good for you with your walking. I desperately need to get to a walking program because my weight just keeps creeping up and up and up........

Hi Ramona,

I don't know if you will post again or not before Thanksgiving so I want to wish you and your family a wonderful and blessed one!♥

I received my pillow and the extras and I absolutely LOVE it and can't wait to put it out on Friday!! I also am having a hard time not buying all those pretties in your shop. You know a couple more pillows may HAVE to come to my home!

Ramona, you totally inspire me! So I learned to sew in Home Economics which was some years ago but I just never loved it. Maybe it was because we were making waterproof lunchbags and unflattering fleece hoodies! Anyway, I got a sewing machine last year for Christmas and now I love to sew! I have discovered a love for BURLAP. I saw that you paint your burlap and I am curious if you could describe how you do it! Thanks!!!
