Fall heads for the exit

 Mr. Gadget and I took a little stroll around the neighborhood this morning--with heavy coats and gloves.  After a rare week of warm temperatures, things are starting to cool off.

"Please don't make me go!"
Looks a little like Target.
A lovely pink carpet
A little much.
He needs a mask.  I'm making plans....
He has a brother.  He's working graveyard.
One pumpkin, four squash, and me!
He refuses to make a smooth transition.
The nicest one on the block...on my own front porch.

Simple, tasteful, just right!

Sewing machine meets table saw

 I've been sewing more patchwork.  This time on behalf of Mr. Gadget.


He built a lovely new table out of red oak for the basement entryway.  And he requested a patchwork table runner.  He left the fabric selections to me so I chose Christmas prints.  Which means, of course, that there will be more table-runner sewing in my future after the seasons change.



There are an abundance of Mr. Gadget's tables around our house.  Many of them are handy for my various piles of interest.  Sometimes new hobbies require new tables.  If lined up in a row they would likely stretch to the end of the driveway and back.


Now I'm thinking about making a runner for the dining room table.  I think I've still got my patchwork mojo working and I've got my piles of Christmas fabric at the ready.  If only I had a table for them.
