Cool Mornings

The past couple of mornings have been between the forties and fifties here and its so invigorating. The cooler mornings makes me enjoy my coffee so much more. This weekend I tried to do some crafting but I was pressed for time. Yesterday DH and I went to a clam bake out in Montauk which was very nice. The weather was absolutely perfect. At night they started a fire on the beach which was comforting. The night as beautiful as the day. I think almost every star was out last night. We saw the milky way and probably every constallation known to man. Todays weather promises to be the same. We are headed out to see the oompa bands that come from Germany for the Steuben Day parade. There will be much schnitzel and bier and dancing. :) I just love dancing the polka. I'll make sure I bring my camera. I've posted a couple of pix of my attempted crafts and outside fall decorating. Hope you all have a great day. Prim Blessings,

Remembering Those Who Made The Ultimate Sacrifice

It's hard to believe that 7 years have past since that awful tradegy that changed our country forever. I just wanted to take a moment to remember those who gave their lives and lost their lives. May they all be in God's company. God Bless America.

May we never forget. Warmest Regards,

Gettin' Crafty

This past weekend I got the crafting bug. I've never been a crafter but for some reason I felt that I could possibly make something. I attempted to make some candy corn ornies and some sleeves for my jarred candles. Surprisingly, they did not turn out too bad. I tried to tea stain the muslin, but I guess I did not use enough tea bags and possibly used too much water. I do have to respect the crafters out there because I can't tell you how many times I messed up because I was either side tracked or not paying close attention to what I was doing. All in all it was fun. My mother in-law was rather impressed with my candle sleeves and actually wanted one. :O She made me feel good. Anyhow, I think I will try my hand at some simple crafts for the coming holidays. There's a kind of satisfaction that one gets when they can say " oh, I made that! So to all the crafters out there, I tip my hat to you because I now understand how focused you must be, how much time, effort and creativity goes into making your creations. I have attached some pix for your viewing. Don't laugh because they are rather simple and they are my master pieces lol (do you sense the drama).

Warm & Humid Weather is Back

Just when I was acclimating to the nice dry cool whether, summer has to make a comeback. The rest of the week is suppose to be warm and humid and I really am not looking forward to it. I really wanted to get some painting done but I guess I'll have to put that on the back burner for now. In any case, I did get some fall decorating done in the house. :) The outside will have to wait another week or so. Its just as well because I really can't relate pumpkins, haystacks and scarecrows with 90 degree whether at least not here. Perhaps if I lived in the middle of the country or on a farm, possibly. I have attached a few photos for your viewing, hope you like.
