Back from Vacation

Hello there stranger. Welcome. ๐Ÿค— How are you doing on this fine autumn day? I hope you are fine and dandy and are enjoying the 1st day of October.  

My latest thrifty find is the "Welcome" needlework from the dime table at the thrift store. 

 It has been a spell since our last visit hasn't it?  Well it is still travel season for Mr. Pinker and I . We have been taking it easy and enjoying the last days of September. In between the adventures,  we have also been visiting family some of which has been sick and in the hospital. Thankfully, they are out and doing better with each passing day.  

 Over the weekend, little daredevil  Mr. R. , my oldest grandson , broke 2 bones in his arm while riding his skooter. Eeek and Ouch! 

 He flew over the handlebars while rounding a curve.  He has an appointment with an orthopedic doctor tomorrow. Poor baby.  Mr. Pinker had an appointment with his doctor yesterday- he broke his arm too while camping in NC a few weeks ago. 

Hmmm, what else is going on . ๐Ÿค”

Oh, we have some new additions to the farm! 

Meet Mutt who is one of Molly's new babies! Isn't he cute and teeny? 

Here comes Molly with one of her new babies!

Baby Jeff is not far away.  Yep , Molly had twins!  Can you guess who the dad is? Ole' Rodster!

Little Jeff. Look at that adorable face! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿฎ

All three are fiercely independent and spend much of their time away from one another except when the twins want to eat. Bless their cute hearts! 



Molly and her twins have been getting the extra special treatment in a pasture all to their own where a close eye is kept on them. 

Jeff is ready for a nap. 

While roaming the roads this past week or so, I picked up some yardage for a quilt that I have been working on. The butterfly fabric will be perfect for my Pretty in Peach butterflies quilt that I began in January of this year. 

New fabric purchased for my Pretty in Peach Butterfly quilt. 

I will pull more fabrics today and begin making the secondary blocks for the new butterfly quilt. 



Well Sweeties, I will let you get on with your evening. Thank you for dropping by and enjoy the rest of your day.

I do apologize for being behind on visiting lovely blogging friends and checking messages; it may take me a few days to catch up. Sometimes, I am as slow as molasses. ๐Ÿ˜‰

As Always...


Happy  Stitching and Quilting,

 y'all
