I’m loving my living room these days since we rearranged it and put the dining table in half of the living room and moved one couch into the dining room. Before the living room seemed so huge and uncozy. We were used to living in a much smaller house, like 900 sq. ft. and I never wanted to sit in that room. We added two more area rugs and recently I’ve decorated for fall, so it’s feeling much cozier. There is just one couch facing the fireplace, a cozy plush rug, a wing chair and ottoman and a side chair, which is all just enough to accomodate a few guests. The dining table is right behind the couch, you can see part of a chair in the picture. I’ll get an overall shot of the room for next week.
My pointy kitty now has a new home on the mantle with some light reading material and a few immitation pumpkins. I love the real thing, but I just didn’t want to deal with the rot this year.

As we were heading out to collect the day’s eggs; we noticed this beautiful rainbow in the sky. It was windy, cloudy and rain was looming, but somehow the rainbow managed to cover the entire sky. It went from horizon to horizon – the largest rainbow I’ve ever seen!
I had a morning all to myself in my craft room/studio, because my mother-in-law has been taking the boys to bible study with her on Wednesdays. It was so nice, I had uninterrupted sewing time. I worked on baby girl’s room; a pillow for the glider and the crib skirt, which I have been dreding. I’m glad I started the bumper – it’s almost done.
Once all the baby girl stuff is sewn, I’m going to concentrate of Christmas gifts and maybe some stock items for our new website. Jay setup a shopping cart through Google, so you can buy items directly from our website with a credit card. So now all we have to do is design the site and of course I have to get busy sewing some stuff! Any advice on what I should make? Handbags, diaper bags, bibs, burp cloths, blankets? Sick of those things, anything else?

This morning we ventured out to Conner’s Corn Maze in Callahan with our homeschool group. It took us about an hour to get there and it was a typical Florida morning with lots of warm sunshine. The corn field was a little short this season due to lack of rain, but it benefitted us moms with young tots. We didn’t lose any children - that was a plus! There was lots to do after the maze, like a hayride where we fed the cows some of our “seats” as Ian described. The cows came up to the wagons when they stopped in the field and munched on the hay bales we were sitting on. Everyone got a kick out of that. Then, the children loaded up in the cow train, which was a homemade ride made out of barrels. It looked a little scary – there were no lap belts, but everyone made it out safely. After that, it was off to slide down the PVC slide and play in the corn box and other child-friendly toys. We spent about 3 hours there and the boys passed out on the ride home. I had fun too, and got a nice nap once we got home while Ian raided the craft boxes and kept himself entertained.
