Funnel Cakes and Corn Dogs

Yesterday I woke up with a little end of summer cold. And today there is a chill in the air that predicts what is coming. With those two things I actually made a pot of tea instead of a cup this morning. Now I'm all jazzed up on caffeine and will probably be running for the bathroom all day! I do love my tea though. A busy day of shipping and sewing ahead. Pot Roast in the crock pot then tonight I'll be updating the Early Works Mercantile site for September 1st.



Last week we visited our local county fair. It was so much fun and a cheap date for the family as well. One pass buys all....carnival rides, bands, demo derby, livestock, the blue ribbons of veggies, flowers, baked goods and quilts and crafts. I love it. Plus all the good "healthy" food. Caramel apples are my favorite. We had a great time and even won a fish "Robbie" who now hides out in our pond.

All the animals were sleepy.

How rude!

He looks like a killer.

Sending warm happy thoughts to you today. Jenn

Working Working Working

Good Morning! I've been working on a little update for August on Rabbit Hill Primitives website. Stop by this evening if you have a chance ~ 8:00 p.m. eastern time.

We are having leftovers for dinner tonight, ~Penne a la Betsy~ which I made last night and it was delicious. I have to rave about this Pioneer Woman recipe! My family was waiting patiently while I take this picture ~ NOT!! I didn't even get a chance to mix it before snapping the shot. Made our house smell great and all our tummy's were rumbling. 20 minutes to make ~ that's my kind of meal.

Now back to work for me. I've got a busy day ahead!! Have a happy one ~~ Jenn

School Time

Goodbye summers lazy days! It's time for the new year to begin. If your a mom then you know the new year begins with the school year not January 1st. I can here pots and pans banging all over the neighborhood!

The beginning of the school year it is still my favorite once I know Lydia is settled in AND once I've come to realize I can't stop it. Plus it will be good to have a schedule again. I think us moms all feel that way. I know my mom did. Growing up every time a locust would cry out waaah, waaah, waaah, (can you hear it?) my mom would get a little twinkle in her eye. Now every time I hear a locust I freak out a bit that summer is almost over. Those last weeks before school starts I hear the locust say "swim at the pool" "go camping before its to cold" "your laziness is almost over" "hurry hurry hurry"....you get the picture.

Now that it's happened I am looking forward to autumn and the coziness of the season. I still miss my girl though.

For those of you who have a sweet tooth like me (I do love my mini-muffins) enjoy a good laugh and watch this.

Sending happy thoughts today.
