Visions of Pumpkins & A Beautiful Gift

My days are still filled with visions of

pumpkins...

All sizes

all shapes

&

even all colors...

For the first time ever

I put some items in our

Pumpkin Festival

Craft Sale

with the girls from my LYS.

My goods did quite well and I was just

*tickled pink*

{not orange mind you ~ I am still not a lover of orange,

which is why I am attracted to pumpkins in other colors!}

I just love these sweet little

pumpkin egg cozies.

I found the pattern on

Wool Free and Lovin' Knit

I will probably make a few orange or pumpkin colored ones also

but.......

I had to start with

cream

&

flamingo pink :)))

OH!!!!

And my other

exciting news ~

My friend Neicee

over at

Insomniac With A Hook

had a recent

Give Away

and

I was the

LUCKY WINNER!!!

Just look at all this

Yarny  Goodness!

:)))))))

I can accomplish a whole lot with this lovely

treasure trove!

Plus

she was sweet enough to include

a bag full of assorted teas.

They are not in the picture

because

I confess~

I have been drinking them up left and right.

I am a true addict.

It is all very yummy...

yarn ....

tea....

aahhhhh..........

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!

**Thank you,

thank you,

thank you

My Dear Neicee!**

You sure know how to treat a girl nice :)

A Harvest of Good Things

Once again it's

Pumpkin

time

here in the

Pumpkin Capital of the World!

Our Pumpkin Festival

started today

and runs through Saturday.

I, of course, look forward mostly

to the

Craft Sale

on the last day :)))

Living here and being surrounded by

pumpkin mania

this time of year

keeps me on the constant lookout

for new pumpkin patterns.

I love this one they gave me at my

LYS.

I did tweak it a bit here and there {naturally}.

It has been a fun pattern to work with.

Cute, huh?!

And on a personal note~

My Mother~In~Law

is doing better,

however,

due to her age she has some

longstanding health issues

 that will be with her always now.

I still keep a close watch on her,

take her to all doctor appointments

and fill her medication keeper each week.

I am so thankful she lives next door to me.

And I thank each one of you for your kind comments,

concern,

&

prayers.

It means so much.

Also, I had a new experience today.

For the first time I gave myself an injection.

The doctor put me on Enbrel for my RA.

Rather than going into the office for a weekly injection,

I opted to self inject.

It went quite well.

I feel just fine.

Much better than when I was on Methotrexate {UGH!!!}

So~

So far so good.

I have high hopes for this medication

and

who knows

maybe next year

I

will win the Golfing Championship

{maybe I should learn to golf first...}.

And one more thing~

Tomorrow we hit the 2 year mark from Scott's Pancreatic Cancer.

Can I get a good

AMEN!!!

I pray this finds you all

Happy

Healthy

&

Blessed.

With Love,

Danette
