Art Show

My display at the art show. Gourds, pins, ornaments, crosses, a golfer and the gnome home. Sold a little but had a nice time seeing all of the people. I bought a few things that are still out in my car. I'll take a picture later of the things I bought. After the show it was off to Hackney's for a burger , fries and their onion ring loaf. There were seven of us and we couldn't finish it off.

It's Wednesday

I neglected to mention that I did buy something at the art show in Lemont. It's a copper butterfly that caused me to rearrange some of the art on the walls.

Still busy trying to get stuff done for the Art show and sale at The Center in Palos Park. It is Sunday, Nov. 15th from noon til four. I will be selling carvings and and gourds. Its an intimate show held in the lodge at the center. Artists display their work in different rooms of the lodge. Students and teachers will be there.

Advent Project

This is the sample that we put together yesterday/ There are 26 clothespins with little envelopes clipped on which contain a small picture of different things(Moses, Joseph's coat of many colors, Mary, Jesus and they are called love letters from God. Each day of Advent the family opens an envelope to see the picture and reads devotions that relate to each picture. Advent starts on November 29th this year.

Friday

After 3 meetings and getting home at 10 last night, I finally got to rest today since tomorrow will be a busy day. Tomorrow morning is the Advent Project Workshop and then Lee and I will be greeters at the Lemont Artist's Guild art show for an hour.
The praise team will be singing in Church on Sunday followed by a catered meal in the gym in honor of Consecration Sunday. Won't have to cook on Sunday.
Tonight will be going to my sister-in-law's house to see our Florida relatives. Won't have to cook tonight either.

Work on Advent Project

Today we dyed 1300 clothespins green. Here is Nancy stirring the pot. We used regular Rit dye

Here are the clothespins laid out to dry. It only took three of us two hours to get them done. Now ready for the next step. The next work day will be Saturday morning. Hope we get a lot of help.

Zagnut

I googled Zagnut and they are indeed still made. They are owned by Hershey and are sold at Meier and Family Dollar. So I ran over to Meier and purchased a couple and also a Mallo Cup which I haven't seen in quite a while.

Halloween

It's over, not my favorite holiday. There were 81 trick or treaters yesterday between 3 and 6 and then it's over. I watched Beetlejuice last night for the very first time. Karrie has watched it hundreds of times, she says a thousand. They showed a Zagnut bar in the movie; I used to like them. Do they still make them? I'll have to google it so see if they do.
Our Church service had 2 trombones and 2 trumpets accompanying the organ and choir today in honor of All Saints Day. It was quite majestic.
