Happy September!!

Isn't that a gorgeous quilt?? Winona made it for me for my birthday last year. I can feel the love!
I can not walk by it without stopping to admire it and running my hand across the beautiful hand quilting. It is the "center piece" of my fall decor! Thank you so much Winona!
I added a few more touches of fall in my home. I did not go all out....yet. I will add more when it gets closer to Thanksgiving. For now I gave the entryway a little flavor. The fireplace and mantle were dressed up a bit for the coming season.My old friend came out of storage.....Sassy was a bit bewildered by him. She quickly realized he was no threat to her happy existence, so she went back to her snooze.
Of course the new Yankee candle gave the house a wonderful scent! I am anxious to get my hands on an Autumn Wreath Yankee candle....my favorite.Adding the fall decorations took little time. Most of my day was spent in the sewing room/office. We made a trip to Comcast and picked up the needed disc and my new-to-me computer is all hooked up and running. The whole "lost disc" thing frustrated me to the point that I decided to organize....and I mean organize....my room. Things do not have to look messy to be unorganized, so I did not take any before pics, because it really did not look that bad, but I got some after.....it is dark down here and if I turn all the lighting on, the pictures are just a big flash of light, so forgive the quality. First I got the computer desk all cleaned off and out. All nice and neat and everything in it's place. We are still in the computer stone age....no flat screens here, but they work!I cleaned out and re-organized under the cutting/sewing table. It is all orderly and even my scraps are all sorted in different boxes...lights, mediums and darks. I hung a new light...it is the white thing under the shelves. I ALWAYS ask Sweetheart to do stuff like that for me. This time I thought I would try it myself....I am more than capable.....so I thought. I did a beautiful job, with Zach's help, and even used a small level to make sure it was perfect. Only problem is, I hung it upside down!!Not that you can tell in the picture, because, of course, I tore it all down and hung it properly. *sigh* I did it though! I cleaned off the top of the table and even picked my fabrics for my next Libby Quilt. Not all that exciting to look at, but when it is done, it will be dramatic!So far I have 2 Libby Quilt tops done (Prairie Children and their Quilts, to you) and they hang on my design wall.Sweetheart set up an old desk at the other end of the room for the old computer. He will do his music there. It will be nice to have his own "stuff". I moved out the weight bench, cause, let's be honest....I am not using it. He quickly filled that space up with guitars and amplifiers. I did have plans for that space, but, oh well. We must share.I did NOT clean out and organize the file cabinet. There was not enough hours in the day or week to do that job. I did clean off the top and organized my wicker basket of journal keeping supplies. My television is not hooked up. I use it to watch VHS tapes while sewing or walking the treadmill. Yes, you read that right. VHS tapes. We have hundreds of them and why let them go to waste! Another thing that needs cleaning out and organizing is the hutch. That will be another day too. The upper part is all good. The drawers are another matter altogether. It will be done soon. The bench in the eating area and this hutch are on the top of my "clean and organize" list!It was a productive day! I LOVE September and look forward to enjoying the rest of the month! Thanks for the visit. Praying your week is going good!
