Takle It Tuesday - "Presents"

Here is a picture of a table runner, I finished. I may use this for my mother-in-law's birthday present. I'm getting ahead of the game this year. Her birthday is not until August. (excuse the wrinkle look, still have to iron this.)



I also want to get ahead on making any Christmas presents this year. So I started this to give to someone for Christmas. Believe me this is way out of character for me to be doing this, this advanced!

Tackle it Tuesday

This week (well actually for a few weeks, and a few more to come) I have been tackling the leaves in my yard.

Here's a picture taken before raking: (actually this is our second time clearing the yard, we had cleared a lot of the back yard, then it rained and more leaves came down, so we had to clear it again)




Here's a picture after we raked up as many leaves as we could (it was very cold and windy over the weekend):



Here's a picture of all the bags we raked up over the weekend (like I said we had already raked up another batch a few weeks ago)


I feel good we have gotten a lot accomplished with raking the leaves. Last year it had already snowed around this time of year so we had to wait until spring to rake up a lot of the leaves. I hope it snows doesn't snow soon so we can don't have to rake up the leaves.
