Hexies, Jars and Bow Ties

 I stomp my feet and yell at the top of my lungs! "No I refuse an intervention!" Hee! Hee! 

Good morning y'all and Happy Tuesday . Are you wondering what I am being  so obstinate about? 😁😛 Well, you know that I went thrifting the other day.  And guess what I came home with?  

Yep! Another cookie jar and bean pot! I know. I know.  Some of you are saying , "Girl, what's up with you and cookie jars. " Hmmm I just don't know. I just love them especially if they are old. And in my defense, my Granny got me hooked on bean pots. Love my Granny! ❤❤❤

Anywhoo, I am as happy as a lark singing on a summer's day. Of course, a couple of pitchers came home with me too. 

 

In celebration of my thrifty find, I hung up one of my crock cross stitches that I purchased years ago. It matches my bean pot doesn't it. 

So now down to the nitty gritty. What am I working on today. 

Over the last few months while camping, I have been working on my hexie flowers. I have one more to piece, and then I will be ready to  applique them . Now I just have to choose a background fabric for them. 

Hmmm what else can I work on?  Another house is in the works.  Of course I am putting in the garden before the construction of the dwelling begins. 😀Every house needs a pumpkin patch doesn't it? 

Harvest Moon Saltbox in the works. 

The hoop has been moved in my Otis Payne Bow Tie. 

 Alrighty, y'all I better get off here. I got cookies to bake and beans to cook . Gotta make those thrifty finds  useful. Don't I? 

Hmmm , Ok, you caught me! I came home with another cookie jar that  I failed to mention earlier.😀  Or is this a biscuit jar?😁 Either way, let's just keep it between us though .Shall we?  Hee Hee!

Now you have a beautiful day!
