Update on the feral kittens that I found in my yard a good while back:
About two weeks ago, the solid black kitten, now cat, came through. I looked at him and thought...wow, you've grown into a big ol' strapping young man. He was all fat and muscled up with a shiny, solid black coat, and lime green eyes.
Wrong
, **she** came slogging through a few days ago with her mammary glands just about dragging in the grass. I suspect the kittens are in the yard next door. I can't wait until she comes through with a line of little kitties trailing behind.
I've been doing a little decorating lately:
A faux Roman shade that I made for the 1/2 bath - totally no sew - put some hippy bead trim on it:
Two of these for a bedroom that I am still working on:
And some pillow shams:
I've also been doing some yard work lately since it has cooled off some. I haven't been doing much cooking, but all that is about to change

My name is Jimmy Procrastination too! LOLI've been finishing up yardwork for the year. Yesterday I put on the last lawn application. It's supposed to be applied in September. Met the deadline with two days to spare...procrastination is my middle name
Had all month to prep and set up for my wood pellet delivery. Coming Thursday, and there I was yesterday; setting up pallets and getting ready for my 6 ton delivery, before the big rain and storm event tonight and tomorrow. I'm all pooped out! Phew!!!!
Where are the kids when you need them?

I made a run to the commissary and the PX. Earlier was house work and unending laundry that's still going. 
I need to get on the yard but decided it can wait till tomorrow - I'll be mowing till after Thanksgiving.

Here's one... We had a Labor day cook out / bbq....ok?
Jim JR brought 6 folding chairs and a folding table of his for us to use.
Well.... Those darn chairs are still stacked in the dining room against the wall.
They keep saying, " don't worry, when we come into town, we'll stop and get them.
HELLOOooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Stuff..... Stilll sitting here and I counted 8 trips to town so far.

Garbage and recycles pick up tomorrow. had to cart all up front.
Then... Have to cook for supper, and babysit uncle for the rest of the day.
Mommy Tina is up at the church wrapping Christmas gifts for the poor children.
In between, I have to clean the bathroom exhaust fan filters.

Our recycle is every Monday morning so I get it out on Sunday night.
It's a marine air morning with lots of fog - did the hot tub and the steam was heavy. Later I'll go babysit the granddaughter but the rest of the day is the usual crap. Yesterday subbing grade 1 was a killer and wore me down. I need to sub older kids and get back in shape.
Yesterday my bud in B.C. killed a bull moose and his buddy still can get one but, usually, one moose is enough for the two families.

The weeds I sprayed the other day, before the rains, are dead and am chuffed.
Yesterday I subbed a grade 5 class and the kids were just wonderful. I had about a 1/3rd of them a lot last year and they were smiling when I said hello to them by their first names having not seen them for over 4 months.
Last night didn't feel like cooking and was hungry for broasted chicken. The road houses that have it were packed and ended up going to Bob's Burgers and got fish and chips, with a side of onion rings. The beer was a Lucille IPA which is excellent. I got to watch two football games at the same time and loved to see Hasselbeck win another game and; Bow Down to Washington beat the hated USC Trojan's.
I'm baby sitting the granddaughter tonight and have no dinner plans. I was going to the Oktoberfest but then don't allow kids after 7 PM.
Sorry for the poor picture quality.

It was my day off, so I went shopping with my best friend, then ate at the Mom and Pop place.

Ghost hunting.
I am making chopsticks from exotic wood. I hope to have a dozen pairs to sell at my table. Having just upgraded my bandsaw, I preped what may be my first bowl. Five years turning and before this, I had no desire to turn a bowl.
Here is a pic of yesterday's cutting boards.
They go on display for the first time next show.

VERY NICE PATTERNS
Great idea on the chopsticks! Thai food is really hot around here right now, and Chinese has always been popular. I'll bet those will be great sellers. I want to see them. Beautiful boards too!
I hope some high end restaurant comes by and buys up every last one of yours. You might could do a little marketing by going to the restaurants yourself.
Andy, I love your beautiful cutting boards!!!
When I went to my favorite craft fair this summer, I almost bought a French rolling pin. The craftsman had a bunch, made out of different woods, and he was charging $20, which I thought was reasonable.
But I thought, if I was going to buy one, I'd buy one from YOU.
Do you make those?
