It's Crunch Time

I grabbed the bag of pinecones we picjed at Ken's Nana's in Massachusetts, grabbed the peanut butter & a bag of birdseed....

spread peanut butter on the pinecone...

rolled the gooey-ness in birdseed....

And hung them outside on the lilac tree for our feathered friends....now hopefully we don't get pidgeons!!!!!!

This is the afghan I completed the other night. It's for our friend Janet...who happens to be his dispatcher.

There are still projects needing to be finished, including the cards & packages that need to be mailed!!! Christmas will be here before we know it. It's crunch time my friends!!

Lightbulb Ornies

What does one do when the fate of our country is put into voters hands? Why we paint lighbulbs!! Or at least I opted to do that this afternoon to keep my head from exploding. This election has me pretty fired up!! Anyways, onto the ornies (abreviation for ornaments).






I took my drawer of paints downstairs so I could still kep my ears open on the election stuff & went to town painting.

It's a pig in progress =)

On the far left we have a lady reindeer, then a boy reinderr & lastly a doggy. I know nobody wants to see the contents of my curio cabinet but it's the only place I could hang these semi wet ornies from to photograph. And well, we all know I'm not one for having much patience...expecially when I'm excited!! What a funtastical project this was. And a wunnaful way to use burnt out, or in our case the lightbulbs after you changed over to energy effecient ones!!

Don't throw out those bulbs!!! Make something!!! I double dog dare ya =)

A Bright Idea!

I cannot even WAIT to show you what I'm going to do with these!! Hopefully tomorrow...

All these lightbulbs were replaced with energy effecient bulbs. It really seems like we are both getting more into conserving energy & not wasteing and using natural resources. We would LOVE to put some solar panels on our house. But that will have to wait. Perhaps those new bulbs will pay for some panels with the savings!!!

I was talking to my neighbor today about how much Ken & I are changing the older we get. Like we actually give a care. I could not throw these perfectly fine bulbs in the garbage & know of noone who could use them....sooo stay tuned!!! =)
