Pumpkin Picking 2015

Good Morning! 

We finally got to go pumpkin picking on Wednesday this week..We were supposed to go last Saturday but there was too much rain the night before so they didn't open the patch ..

 This is my daughters car with her pumpkins :)
I only ended up getting 87 pumpkins this year ! But it is enough ! Lots of white and blue and the peachy pink ones ..

 We have them as always lining the front flower beds ..on the porch and in the vintage wheel barrow..

 and why couldn't that red grass pick itself up and look pretty for my pictures ! LOL!

 Can I tell you how much I love pumpkin picking day ! We are off to the airport to go see our #91 play football at Penn State ..so excited!

A Weekend in San Francisco

Good morning! 

Last Friday we took off for San Francisco ..I stitched my way there on this Judith Kirby Halloween Victorian .. I finished the first part , I am stitching the 2nd chart with it as one piece. I saw after I took this photo that I missed the backstitch on top of the house :) I am stitching it on a light blueish grey 28 count Monaco that I tea/coffee dyed ..I have had these charts for so long and this one didn't take very long to stitch up! I don;t think I am doing the border, I will wait and see after I finish the second part.

On Saturday we went to see our #91 play his second game this year as the punter for San Diego State University..They played in Berkley at Cal State. 

 They started out winning their game but then lost ( by alot) ..But it was great to see him and see him play ..I can't even tell you how exciting it is to see your son play college football!!
Looking forward to next weekend when we are traveling to Penn State to watch another game !

 Sunday we went to San Francisco ..we stayed in Oakland at the hotel the team stayed at . We ended up taking the subway to both the game in Berkley and San Francisco .. That was a little interesting :) But it did work out great! We went to Fisherman's Wharf.. The Ferry Market, Ghiradeli Square..We walked and walked and walked some more !

This was our view at lunch .. He /she was sunbathing on the dock ..

Alcatraz in the distance..

We then went back to the hotel and got our rental car and drove over the Golden Gate Bridge.. It was so foggy ..but very pretty!

Our plane left for home at 5am Monday so I didn't stitch very much.. but I started on this Prairie Schooler Halloween ..
