Fall is on its way!

It was 90 degrees here in Arkansas today but I can see those small changes, a slight breeze and leaves are starting to change. Fall is on its way and I am ready for it!

Perry's mom gave us some purple hull peas, so we spent part of the day shelling them. It was a nice time  to sit together and shell peas.

My fall leaves tablecloth went on the table today and my wreath is on my door!

I made a couple of dishtowels last week. I didn't pay attention and my pattern went the wrong way on one of my towels, so I improvised and made a small pillow, it says "Happiness is a kitchen full of family"  I agree, I love having a kitchen full of family around me.  

Sewing and Canning

I have three granddaughters with Easy Bake ovens. Alexa reminded me that her apron didn't fit anymore so she needed a new one. I forgot it had been about 7 years since I had made them aprons they were little girls then!  My oldest granddaughter has outgrown an apron (very sad for this nana) and the youngest one's apron still fits.  So here are the three new aprons.

I also made a  pretty  tie on for the back of my chair in my sewing room.

I have been busy lately canning! I have quite a few pears on our tree, so I made pear preserves and also did some apple jelly. I like to can veggies but I really enjoy canning fruit jellies and preserves!

I hope to make more blog updates but I get so busy I forget. The grandkids keep us busy, we had two birthday parties this Summer and they start over again in January.  But they are growing up so fast I don't want to complain about any time spent with them.

I am looking forward to Fall it's my favorite time of the year. We hope to go camping in October, we enjoy fall camping on the lake. It's so pretty outside and so nice to sit around a fire at night and roast marshmallows.
