It suddenly occurred to me the other day that I never showed my October calendar completed nor had I even made my November. Geesh…talk about falling behind.
I love the colors of Fall…warm and cozy.
My November page I’m not so fond of…the color dried my lighter and more pinkish than expected. But I’m just going to roll with it. I totally forgot to photograph November before writing on it….oh well. It’s a sneak preview.
Happy Tuesday! It’s Veteran’s Day here in the USA. Time to remember and pay tribute to those who have served and are still serving in our armed forces.
Here’s my favorite veteran…my dad…in 1946.
Below is the original scan of the slide image.
I’m thrilled I was able to coax the colors back to a more natural look. What a difference.
As for the rest of my day…I’ll be home catching up on housework and shoveling out the end of the driveway. I’d forgotten that it needs to be widened at the end…if it doesn’t we windup with a very narrow driveway once the snow is several feet deep at the street.

EDIT: I almost forgot…my second sale went well. I sold out of one item and nearly of another. It was a good day.
For the first time in a very long time…since August I think…I created an art journal page. 
I noticed after completion that my color scheme is leaning toward Christmas. It must be that we are getting our first snowfall this season. They say it’s going to be a big one too!
Little J was supposed to leave on her first overnight field trip this morning but they postponed due to weather. It will be interesting to see how they deal with the disruption.
I’ve already shoveled the driveway once and I know it’s only the first of many.
This also is the first blog post that wasn’t a T stands for Tuesday post in quite sometime. I’m getting back on track…hopefully.
Happy Tuesday!
After my endless talk about creating a craft sale inventory, I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you about the event last Saturday. 
It started out really slow…I was genuinely getting worried….but then it picked up. I sold quite a bit and got such wonderful comments. Little J helped me for the first couple hours and then left with my in-laws.
One more sale on Thursday! I’m really excited for this one. Last year was great, so I’m hopeful that with much better weather this year (no blizzard) it will be even more successful.
I’m off to vote, errands and knitting…for the first time in ages for the knitting. Hope I remember how. ;)

Happy Tuesday!! Thanks for joining me for another edition of T stands for Tuesday.
Yesterday I set up my craft sale table to get a handle on what fits and how it should look. I thought I’d share my wares with you.
This candle will likely look familiar to some as I have used it as my T Tuesday “beverage” in the past. I’ve decided to part with it after all….unless it doesn’t sell, of course. :)
Upcycled t-shirt baby bibs are a new item for me this year. I made a few for a friend who just had a baby and everyone loved them. So I decided it was a great way to upcycle some of those outgrown t-shirts.
These bottle cap flowers are the 2.0 version of my original design. Each one is unique…plus I get to use up a bunch of those beads that never seem to get used.
I figured I’d just share the rest in a little collage since time is of the essence. I’m heading out to walk in a bit but I’ll be back in a while to visit.

Happy Tuesday! Time for another edition of
T Stands for Tuesday.
Once again I come to you a little late since I was out walking this morning.
I, of course, had my favorite water bottle with me…never leave home without it. My friend and I have been making a habit of walking at least once a week so we can catch up. We used to see each other twice a week at other functions but that has changed.
It was funny because even after walking and talking the whole time, we stood in the parking lot and chatted since we still had more to say. 
I’ve been busy at crafting too…more inventory. Today I think I’m going to pull out my boxes and see exactly what I have ready to go. It always feels like a lot but you just don’t know what will be the “hot ticket” item each year. I’m in love with the sideways spool ornament. I may have to keep that one for myself as I used some scraps to create it. It is definitely OOAK.
