Show and Tell

My wonderful Mother in Love gave me a beautiful cart for my eating area. Remember the metal carts from the 60's? My mother had one....I believe it was red and silver. This one is a beautiful wood. It replaces the high chair. Yep.....No more babies. :`( Emerson is a big girl now and really does not need a high chair. When they can take the tray off, unbuckle themselves, and fall out, it is time to retire the high chair. I have a booster seat so she can just sit at the table. The other day, however, she ate outside with Aunt Charlotte.They had a picnic and both of them got quite silly.She played with Sassy....though Sass was none too pleased about it.
And she gazed out the window. What was she looking at??? Her brother and Zach, along with the other neighborhood boys, all playing matchbox cars on the curb.It was a nice Sunday afternoon visit from the grandkids!!!
I got a new computer...new to me, anyway. My mother got a real new one and gave me her "old" one that is really not old at all! Sweetheart got it all hooked up for me and then we could not find the disc for the modem. *heavy sigh* I am so frustrated with myself. I am not an organized person by any stretch, though I work VERY hard at it, and it just frazzled me that I lost that silly thing! I will need to call Comcast and see what we can do. In the meantime, I got my old computer hooked back up and will just try to get a new disc. Hopefully, my mess up will not cost us any money!
On a different note, I wondered what you quilters, knitters, crocheters (is that a word?) do when you go to a class, a bee, or even to an appointment, when you want to take your "stuff"? I have a bucket that I LOVE. Linda made this for me a while back. It has been one of my favorite "totes" for the last couple of years. To hold my needles, thread, scissors, and thimble, I use this little pouch that Nancy made me. I just toss it in the bucket and off I go!What do you use???
Tomorrow is September 1st. I am SO excited!!! I get all my fall decor out on that day. I know...it is still summer but too bad, so sad....I am in fall once September hits. Winona made me the most GORGEOUS table runner last year and I got it too late to use in the fall season, so that will come out FIRST thing in the morning! My amazing mom bought me a big fat Yankee candle....Home Sweet Home scent....and that will fill my house with cinnamon goodness!!!! I'll take pics and show you next time!

Bren! I know I haven't left a comment in a while-blame google reader not making it easy- but this post deserves multiple comments!!
1st, Emerson is getting SO big? Is she almost 2? Our big day is coming in a couple weeks! ;) Lunch dates and maybe a concert are planned for my 26th, what are you guys doing for Emmy?
2nd, I bought one of those "old metal carts" at an antique store this summer! I painted it leaf green, it's so cute!
3rd, I'm taking knitting lessons this winter with my friend. I am so looking forward to it! That way I'll be one of those ladies that knits at my kid's basketball games! ha!
4th, so glad to see more of your grandkids around in your posts these days! ;)

Emerson looks so pretty! She really looks like a kid now, no more baby!

I LOVE Fall! Last week Andy and I went to Yankee Candle to get a Fall scent. I think I live the Fall candles more than the Christmas ones!
Have a great day!

I'm SO looking forward to fall weather and I love the scents of fall too, the cinnamon, apple, and other candles are always good.

That Emerson is soooo cute!! Hey, what is Sassy doing on the dining room table....Bad Kitty!! LOL.

I have many different things I use for hauling my hand work around, ranging from a sandwich size ziplock bag to a LARGE tote for hand quilting. Nothing as pretty as yours though.

I'm pretty sure you don't need any kind of disc to get your internet set up on the new computer. Just call comcast and they should be able to give you instructions via phone.
