Love it!

This is one of my favorite things! Whenever I catch F.W reading it makes my heart swell with joy and pride. I am so happy he loves to read. The boys have always enjoyed a good book but giving up TV really got them reading even more. F.W. loves Percy Jackson

Coffee Cozy

I've been a crumby blogger and I am playing catch up today. The month of October I have been working on these coffee cozies for a baby shower. I finished 35 fantastic coffee cozies. I used flannel receiving blankets to make them. The flannel is really thick so that was a bit of a challenge.

Halloween

Laura's party table

So many goodies

Macgurber!

Halloween being on a Sunday was fun. It was like a 3 day Halloween celebration. My sister had a great Halloeeen party for all her nephews. I didn't do home made costumes for the kids this year. However they did reuse the trick or treat bags I made for them last year. I'll find any reason to wear a wig.

X-Mas already??

"Get a head start on Christmas" That's what I saw when I clicked on marthastewart.com for my moment of zen. Seems like Christmas comes earlier and earlier every year! Day before Halloween and Target already had fake trees adorn with ornaments sheesh!

I have never been but I love their blog and I am looking forward to going!

HOT!

Who wants to make 35 cozies when it is 100 degrees out? Not me! Yesterday was so hot. I think the heat hit me hard because we had such a mild summer. Anyway I didn't feel like doing much of anything in the heat. Today should be a little cooler so I need to get some work done.
I am making 35 coffee cozies out of receiving blankets for a baby shower in November.

Books

I liked Bloodroot but the subject just seemed so bleak. characters with rotten teeth living out in the middle of no where. I could tell if I kept reading that book I was going to get in a depressed funk. So I stopped...Its not like me to start and not finish a book 2 in a row has never happened. I need a novel to distract me from my everyday life! So I am reading Everyone worth Knowing By Lauren Weisberger. I want to read her new book Last Night at the Chateu Marmont but its not at the library yet.

Hooray for Fall. Unfortunately we are having a heat wave this weekend. It's really going to feel like summer tonight at Petco Park when we go see the Padres play.
