Whoever said weekends are for relaxing definitely didn't have my weekend in mind. It is only just after 8pm on a Sunday evening and I am all tuckered out. I was actually feet up on the couch reading Outlander and I could feel my eyelids getting heavy and then they were shut and I almost dropped the book. Not going to bother you with all the busy stuff but I just wanted to share a few moments from the weekend with you before I take a hot bath and get some sleep.
Deborah took those lovely supper in the backyard pictures. I adore the one with Edgar wandering in the background. Dinner was Chilean chicken and corn chowder with garlic toasts. It was delicious. I want to thank amy for the cuff I have wrapped around one of the Lake Huron stones. She saved the fabric that wrapped a stone she purchased from my etsy shop and made a perfect cuff with it. She makes beautiful cuffs and sells them in her etsy shop.
Which reminds me I need a little etsy motivation so I am setting a date for a big etsy shop update. It will be on Monday, October 18th, time to be determined. I will have crochet covered stones, necklaces, new prints and even a slow stitched fabric bowl or two. I am also contemplating taking some custom orders at that time for the season of giving.

I love the picture with the raspberries and the little pumpkins. I'm looking forward to your shop update. I've only been reading your blog for a couple of months but I find your work inspiring. You make me want to make things and take pictures. Thanks for the inspiration.

Your pretty tables always amaze me, especially after such a busy day ! It's probably Edgar who set the table and cooked that appetizing dinner for the tired family :)
I love your pumpkins photo ! I had never seen orange raspberries : congrats for the "sleight of hand" :) I'm sure Mister Fall will love them too !
What a great news your Etsy appointment is for all of us !!! I guess your magic hands will be very busy during the autumnal evenings ... Lucky us !!!
Happy pre-autumn-Monday, Margie !

A very yummy weekend! And be careful with falling asleep with Diana Gabaldon books--they are weighty!
