I started this post with a sob story about how hard I have worked raking leaves, only to look out this morning to see the ground covered again. The wind got up overnight! :( So the heck with the leaves!
Here's the apron I finished last night...
Manager of the Wake Forest Farmer's Market called and asked if I would like to be a guest vendor at their Christmas market this coming Saturday. I said "yes"! Sure hope the weather will be better for this one.
I still have several things made from the Christmas market in November. The dolls...
Plundering around, I found these paper angels and trains.These are fun to make and something the children love. I'll put them in a box for fifty cents or a dollar....

Something else I want to make (an idea from Shelby) are those little pot holders that fit on the handle of a cast iron pan. These are harder to make than a bonnet! The problem is getting the bias tape sewn on neat and even around the four layers (fabric on outside and padding in the middle). Any suggestions? These just don't look neat enough to sell...
Before I go...this was the best part of being outside raking those leaves...little sweet Smokey right there with me...
I'm leaving the leaf post on the bottom where it belongs!! :( Thank you for visiting.
Love, Henny
Before undertaking the big overwhelming job of raking leaves this year, I made a promise to myself that there would be no stressing out, no getting mad at the wind, no beating the side of a tree with the rake...but how can I not get disgusted? That eight hours of raking last week looks like this now, well even worse. This picture was taken yesterday!
For five hours yesterday I raked and cleaned the front flower garden. I couldn't say how it looks now. I purposely don't look that way when I go out!

It will be okay. Really, it will. :)
