Life is GOOD

The fall bug has hit.  I have been working on some little projects. I love this time of year as the temperatures cool, the colors change, and the smells become warm and comfortable.

I made a new valance for our kitchen window.
This runner will be great for the month of Halloween.  I haven't made a runner on point like this before, so it was fun to do.
I am still getting this quilt together. It has great fall colors, so I hope I can finish it soon. There sometimes does not seem to be enough hours in the day to get everthing done that I would like to.

I was thinking this morning, how GOOD life is. You know, it is not easy, it has its trials and heartaches, but it is good to be alive. It is good to hug my kids and kiss my hubby. It is good to read, sew, bake, run errands, laugh, call a friend, sing, watch a hummingbird from the window, know that Heavenly Father loves me, drive a car, eat chocolate, and think!!  I am very blessed.
Hope your day is just as you wish it to be or better!!  Life is GOOD....
Be Nice to People,
Julie

Hear, hear! Life is good and I am looking forward to those inviting fall comforts too. Maybe next week. Temps are predicted to remain in the high 90s here through Friday. Hurricane Earl is supposed to miss us here in Maine, but the rainfall is expected to usher in cooler, less humid weather. I sure hope so!

Shall we make a plan for some swapping?

Julie, I love your outlook!

...and I also love your valance! Where did you get those great clips to hang it? I really think seasonal toppers for my windows should join my ever growing to-do list!

Hugs, K
