Outside My Kitchen Window

Hello World!

I'm still here, 

but have been locked in my sewing room.

When I haven't been at work,

I've been sewing.

More to come on that!

For now, I just wanted to let you know I was still around,

and share some photo's I've taken.

I have two bird feeders right outside my kitchen window.

I love it because while I'm cooking and/or doing dishes,

I get to see all kinds of cute little, feathered angels.

Like a chickadee.

Or a Wren

Or our state bird, the Gold Finch

Or how about the finch from 'the other side of the tracks,

the House Finch

:)

And saving the best for last,

my absolute favorite,

the Hummingbird

I could seriously watch them for hours.

They are on a feeding frenzy now,

gearing up to head to their winter homes.

My son gave me a new hummingbird feeder.

It's BEAUTIFUL!

I will get a picture of that soon,

before they leave.

A little off subject,

but just in case you are looking for a quick & easy project

for a gift, or just for yourself,

how about a cute little box pouch?

You can find the tutorial HERE.

I added the decorative stitch with a variegated yellow thread.

Have I told you I'm so happy to have my Josie back?

And to leave you on a peaceful note,

here's a photo I took before work the other morning.

I love walking around our property

(we don't have much...just 3 acres),

but surrounding the 3 acres is just beautiful country.

I have to say I think this is my favorite photo ever.

I love Iowa.

I love my life.

And I love fall!

Stay tuned, because I'll be doing a blog post on the most

incredible swap item I received over the weekend.

I seriously about fainted.

Make it a good one folks!!

xoxo
