Pumpkin felting class...

 A couple weeks ago we had a pumpkin felting class at the tea shop...

and then a week ago we had a couple pumpkin hooking classes...

It was so much fun for me and I think everyone who came had a good time.

 Next month we are planning to do a needle felted cardinal class and maybe a wool holly candle mat.

Next weekend Barb and I are vending at the craft show in Grand Rapids at the Timber Lodge. I have pressed everyone into service to help me get ready and I feel a bit sinful sitting here at my computer as opposed to being at my sewing machine... Oh well...

The finished projects!!

Summer memories...

What more could you ask for...    the boys have all grown so much this summer. The chances to get everyone out together are so precious. Everyone has so much fun!!

Not too sure about this badminton game...

Oh heck... not too bad...

Cole's School Sunflowers

The flower bed in the back of the shop has filled in so beautifully. The morning glories have taken over the headboard and slightly covered up the smaller flowers... see the little garden nomes peaking out from behind Cole?? A friend of ours has so kindly kept it mowed all summer (thank you Dex!!) and it looks so cared for! It has brightened up the little corner and we have received so many nice comments!!
