Although we are always puting around on a projects...my recent task I must complete is painting the wood room's floor, I painted the walls barn yard red and I LOVE it!
Next is TRIM and half walls for my kitchen. John swears to me it will be done by the holidays and I am assuming Christmas because Thanksgiving is just around the corner and there is NO site of pine boards and polyurethane. I figure if I get this in writing he may accomplish this....I swear it is ALL I want for Christmas!!!!
I am afraid until John gets a deer My Maine Man WILL NOT put on his carpenter belt. So PLEASE send out some good vibes, cyber prayers, ANYTHING so this Great White Hunter can Get er' done because I WANT my HUSBAND BACK and of course a little finish work. :)
Boy, I really got side tracked, that's the ADD kickin' in. Back to this darn time change.... After chores, dinner, helping the kids with their homework I am just about done for the night. Ready to cuddle up in bed with a book, my lap top, and well of course, My Maine Man. I must stop the madness because I have lots of projects, gifts to make, etc. and there are not many more days left.
Real soon I will have a post on making earrings , constructing a wreath, and making a no-sew blanket. I will also have my 1st GIVEAWAY so stay tuned. I promise you all the projects are REAL easy, there is no Martha living here on the farm!
Rock painting anyone? This kept the kids entertained for hours while I made my first time ever pumpkin puree that my blogging friend Angie posted about here. Silly me never knew that you could cook any pumpkin. I always thought they had to be special baking pumpkins.

A love of fabric remnants, ADD, hating the time change, we sure have a lot in common.
We haven't had luck this hunting season either.
Yep, winter has snuck up on us here too!

Hey Kim:
Sounds like you guys are coming along good on your dream. I wished you didn't live so far away from me, I would love to give you a hand with the wiring, and maybe the plumbing, as that is a lot of what I do down here every day. Our trees here on the Gulf Coast are changing the colors of the leaves now, with the amount of light getting shorter every day. Not the same dramatic change of the season as you get, but is still is nice to see. Take care!
Love the first picture- everything looks so... frosty!!
We're into winter now too...our first snow came last night. My winter depression begins!
I don't like the time change either....my goats certainly did not change their clocks and it takes weeks for them to get used to it, calling me to come feed them an hour earlier every evening. And, you are right, you race through the evening chores, trying to beat the darkness!!!

You guys sure have done a lot of work to your home, but it's so worth it!
I have to admit also, I never knew you could bake any pumpkin til about about 6 months ago either. I always bought the "Pie Pumpkins" because, well.........you understand! HAHA :)
change of season??? should be Dear Hunting Widow's Lament. Yes winter is upon us in all of it's splendor. I hope your hubby gets that buck soon so he can finish your room in time.
When you get a chance stop at my blogsite and pick up your award.
Boy, do I ever know the "running around with a flashlight" routine. Our property is so hilly, I'm constantly slipping and tripping over things...snorting and mumbling under my breath..I probably sound like a mad moose. Hope I don't get shot by some wandering hunter. Where'd you say your man was right now? :-)
I love the rock painting. Very cute.
I like the change of season but not the time change. Get home from work and it's dark.
Hey, I know what you mean about running around like a chicken with it's head off doing the chores and then make dinner, help kids with homework, baths, story time, etc etc etc... by that time i am too pooped out to do anything other than sit in front of this computer and read a few blogs before i hit the hay with my main squeeze too! LOL Take care and try not to get too overwhelmed, what ever we don't do today WILL wait for tomorrow right!
Oh, and about the hunting... thinking good thoughts for you and you better be doing the same for me cause we don't have ANY other freezer space over here!
in our province we have a lot of chicken too.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR COMMENTS!
COAST RAT, THANKS FOR THE THOUGHT OF LENDING A HAND, THAT WAS KIND!
WARREN, WE'VE ONLY HAD A FEW FLURRIES, NO ACCUMULATION. I DON'T GET DEPRESSED UNTIL FEB/MARCH.
ERICA, GLAD I'M NOT ALONE!
FG, YOUR FUNNY!
