Six Pies, Some Crafting and Hot Chocolate

-

Friday night had me making three butternut squash pies
for a gathering on Saturday.
Quite the mess,
I finally got them done
and
the kitchen cleaned!
Whew!
Not a kitchen person,
I was glad that was over for the weekend.

Some got eaten,
some were given away
by JWS.

Sunday,
at church,
our pastor asked where his pie was?
Guess I forgot that when he GAVE me
the squash last Sunday,
I promised him a pie.
So...
this Sunday found me making three more
butternut squash pies.

At least this time,
JWS was there to help keep the mess cleaned up.
Crunch time for our Open House.
I am finishing up things!

One last owl pillow waiting to join his friends.

Some homespun lapel flowers.


And
a bunch of snowmen
ornaments and magnets.

A few more magnets.

Friday morning,
these three were at work with us.
It wasn't long until
all four of us
got kicked out of the shop
and sent home.
After lunch,
we had hot chocolate on the deck.


Then they retired to the chair
to watch a movie.
How could you kick these three out?

Let me tell you,
they weren't this calm most of the time.

Morning Cathy,
really, how could you forget the Pastor's pie??? Is butternut pie made the same as pumpkin? Never had any but sounds like it would be good.
Love all your little ornies and the picture of your helpers....being so calm! ;-)
Have a great week and I hope the open house is a huge success for ya!
hugs,
Sheila

Butternut pie! Really you need to share that recipe with us Cathy! My father made pie from squash once and it was so good, but I never asked for the recipe! I'm glad the pastor got his pie!

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
