Summer is falling away

 I'm trying to get all the bedding washed and aired for the fall cleaning.  The bees and wasps are enjoying the last of the raspberries.  :{

Our local scrapbooking store is closing with some great sales.  Too good to pass up and I'm doing my bit to help clear out the wee store.  I will be bringing home a shelving rack that I hope to store my stencils in.  That means 'something' has to leave.  In the meantime I have also been buying all kinds of markers for teaching the grand kiddies to draw.  Imagine how much I will learn as well.  lol  I also have a plan for making up collage kits for my gal and I to work on.  I am not satisfied with the way my journal pages evolve and I saw a blog where she begins her collages with a 'collection' of things.   The Rooster is pulling in some of the garden produce.  I do luv those tiny tims!  Just like candy!  :)

It is full steam ahead on the barn as the son in law is arriving with his sprayer on this coming weekend.  We are watching the weather as we prepare.  The Rooster is now doing ladder work and he has me cutting boards and running them up to him.  I'm using the chop saw!  eek!  He is also hoping for greater accuracy after we get the rough patching done.  vbsigh!

Chop-saw?! Mind your fingers! As to accuracy...maybe with all that practice you're having...

Love that blue sky above the barn!

Linens on the line is always so refreshing. Bless you dear for shopping local and helping the owners. The Rooster is lucky to have you chop sawing boards for him. As for accuracy...that is what Big Stretch Caulking is for...filling in those tiny crevices! Falling into Autumn Bliss...

A quilt block would sure look great on the barn. Maybe a project for next year?

I love the tomatoes on the board with the hammer and nails. Barn looks good.

I have faith in your ability to handle a chop saw. Just pretend it's free motion work, without using a foot. Gotta keep those hands away from the needle......blade. Even your laundry adds to the fall scene.
