World With Octobers/Missouri-Made Mondays

It's been a beautiful October weekend here in central Missouri. Just look what I opened my truck door out into.......

If only we could bottle this up.

Love this time of year!

Also love the fall colors as you will see in this latest kitchen helper.

Stop by Katy Trail Creations on Etsy for other great Missouri-Made items!

Those Monday Blues/Missouri-Made Mondays

Blues in this instance are symbols. Looking into the symbolism of blue I read that it can convey a sense of trust, loyalty and understanding. It's no wonder it's a favorite color of most people.

So when I worked on various projects this weekend, I wasn't surprised in the common denominator of blue I ended up with. Time to share them with you....

This wrap took me through 5 skeins of Homespun Yarn. It's extra wide and was nearly part of a new garment, but I ran out of yarn. sigh! Maybe next time.

Maybe it's width will qualify it for a "Super Wrap", (Super being the trend in crochet this season)

More blue in this vintage fabric. Storage never looked so lovely!

I hope these pillow cases I embroidered by request will make the newlyweds feel like royalty. Thanks to my cousin for letting me help out!

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

Luckily for us, there's not too much Bad around here,

But for myself, Bad reared its head in the shape of a Fiesta Ware Black Pitcher that I actually liked.

I broke it. Sorry Ron.

Here's the "Before",

There is no "After".

The Ugly is my rendition of a dinosaur foot made from Wallpaper book samples that I taped together.

It definitely wasn't pretty, but we are thankful that the kids weren't critics.

The good was the baby blanket I embroidered for my father-in-law. He's always finding someone to gift a baby blanket for. Guess that makes him "good" too.

Been awhile since I listened to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

So here ya go.......

Yellow Blankie

Papa Finnell has some friends.

They had a new baby.

He had this creative idea & I took it & this is my spin on it.

This project was divided into sections......

Before supper.......

And After

Congrats to the new parents!
