Whatcha Working On Wednesday

Good morning! It's Wednesday once again, so what has everyone been up to? More on that later...

I actually planned to wake up earlier today. This whole "sleeping in until I wake up" thing isn't working so well. I'm more tired than I am if I wake up early to an alarm. So, I set the alarm last night but when it went off at 7:30 this morning, I shut it off and went back to sleep! LOL I was tired from Af waking me at 2:30am because she had a bad dream and then I went back to sleep and had strange dreams all night and didn't sleep well. Maybe tomorrow I can start my new routine? LOL

Yesterday was another calm, relaxing day at home. I worked on laundry. I washed and hung the kids sheets out to dry and ours on Monday, so that's all done for a bit. Everything is caught up now :)

I also picked up and did the dishes several times, as always...froze some more blackberries, made venison chipped steak sandwiches for supper and baked another blackberry pie for the family last night.

Jeremy came home close to 6pm last night, ate supper and went back out to work on his project. Things are really coming along. It doesn't seem like it until you realize how many cart loads of dead briars he drug up into the woods to let them rot and how many rocks the guy has picked out of the ground. Now he's working on leveling the area a little bit more so it's easier to mow.

On Sunday, Scott asked if we would like to go to their cabin in Pine Creek like we did last year. (If some of you may remember, Jer took us up there for the first time last summer on our anniversary weekend. I was a bit cranky about the idea, not because of our anniversary but because he would be leaving the kids and I all day at a strange place with Scott's wife, who I only talked to maybe three times in my life and Scott's mother, who I knew nothing about! But it worked out. The kids enjoyed themselves and everyone was wonderful, so two weeks later we went back :)This time there is not huge 3D archery shoot that the guys will be attending so Scott thought it would be the perfect time to have us up so Jeremy can enjoy the cabin a bit more. He was up last fall and spent a few days for archery season but he missed out on a lot of fun stuff last summer because he was really only there to eat supper and sleep and then gone the rest of the day. So, it should be a fun weekend...

The last time I was up there I decided I wanted to make something for the cabin, as a gift. They have it decorated in a lodge theme and I thought about several things all winter but figured I had plenty of time. Well, time is up! LOL I took some time to myself yesterday and worked on some stitching :)

I found this pattern a while back and it seemed perfect for now...until I have more time to work on what I was really planning...



And here is Af's block that I worked on on Monday....she insisted on a red boot.
And I'll finish with some photos from Monday...

Aften in her "boat"

Shane and his "Fossil Rock Museum"

A cool rock with a hole in the center that Jer found in the ditch...
Aften wanted to make her own museum so she pretended stuff on the porch belonged to her...

This is Aften's birdhouse and her "hanger" for it...she came up with that herself! LOL


Shane said Af was crazy...

And she caught him and said he was kicked out of the museum...

Some blooms from around the yard...

My pink daylily...

My Astillbe....I love how this flower blooms and then dries and stays nice looking all season.

Have a great day :)
