Random pictures

One morning about a week ago it was foggy out and then the sun started appearing.  I hurried to get the camera as the pine trees were dazzling with sparkles. (I love sparkly stuff, just ask my friends)

As I got closer, I noticed thousands of spider webs all over the trees.  Here a few of marvels...


Notice the long web stung between the trees. It was very hard to take pictures once the sun started burning the fog off, I waited just a bit too long.


On to other things.

I had told my Mom I was on a search for glass flower frogs.  My parents like to go to flea markets and antique stores so she kept an eye out for me.  Here is what she found me within two weeks.  Wow.  Aren't they marvelous?



It's that time of year for Halloween cards.  Here a few that I've worked on lately. 

At the Tiara retreat I finally finished my Peony Hill.  I will be taking it to my LNS this weekend for framing and take a new picture when it is back home again.


I forgot to share a photo of the floss tag that the lovely Lisa made and gave to me at the Tiara retreat.  She and I have a 'thing' for bees. I just happened to say that I hadn't made a floss tag for myself yet as I was admiring one of hers and she dipped into her bag of treats and handed me this. She's one sweetheart of a woman.  I LOVE it.  It sits on my crafty, stitchy desk so I can admire it.


Last weekend we went to the Fall Festival at Blooms and Berries with DSL, DD, DH and Evan our grandson.  This slide is always a favorite.

And the hay bale mountain.


And shooting pumpkins and gourds with paint balls with DH.


Then it was off to the hayride to go to the field to pick out pumpkins.  To get there, you go through the woods and see the funny pumpkin scenes.  This one tickled my fancy.  Those are knives.  On a tree across path was the pumpkin knife thrower.

Here's my lovely daughter Dana and her handsome husband, Joe.





I came home from swimming one day and the light was shining through my sweet and low container.  I love the autumn light.

Not too many stitching pictures.  But maybe next time.

Great pictures Marsh! I am totally jealous of all your flower frogs. I have yet to get one for my scissors. Can't wait to see your framed piece. I agree, Lisa is such a sweet friend. ~~ Christie

Isn't autumn just great? wonderful pictures!
I love your new By the Bay finish. I've never stitched a design by her but I have on kitted up and will start on it next year.

I love the way you captured the spider webs! Even though they creep me out normally. LOL

I have to agree, the autumn light is like honey in the late evening. I just love it too!

Awww (blushes) you and Christie are sweeties too. As well as my other peeps. I think we make a pretty great circle of friends.

{{GREAT BIG HUGS}}

Congratulations on the finish!! I love the floss tag, too. I didn't know that you have a thing for bees--very cool! I associate you with your (fabulously wonderful) taste in dogs, so now it's bees, too. ;) Great nature photos and family photos, too!

I laughed at the comment that you posted on my blog. The tranny on the soap that we watch goes by Marcia, definitely said like "Mar-SEE-ah", the name chosen to capitalize on his name being Marc, I guess. So yep, my magnifier is MarSEEah. ;)
