Book Project...
 |
| This is a large book box with a stand... |
 |
| This is the inside of the book... The front cover opens... |
 |
| The inside of the window sill... |
 |
| Closer view of book and candy on window sill... I started making this at a workshop in the Spring and just finished it up... Well, almost, because I am going to make a grandfather clock for the left side of the room. I'll show that when it's finished. I belong to a dollhouse and miniature club, "Small Impressions", we are working on a door wall that we can decorate for all the different holidays. Mine is finished and I will be showing that on my next post. It came out so cute, can't wait for our next meeting to show it off. And can't wait to show you! I guess you could say I'm "hooked on minis". Should I start a new blog with that name? haha Hey, maybe I will... 'Til next time, Love ya, Jean |

Some more minis.......
 |
| My mini alcove... I went to a NAME (National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts) workshop and this was the project that everyone worked on... I love how it came out... This will go into a Shabby Chic kitchen that I am planning... |
 |
| This was another workshop that I attended... a pantry... |
 |
| I am getting enthusiastic about Christmas... I put my Christmas lights out the other day when it was 70 degrees, better than waiting until it's freezing cold out there. Right? The garden has been put to bed and we've been cleaning up leaves... More to go, they are really hanging on this year... I have also been working on some more baby quilts, they are about half done, and I will show them when they are finished. That's about it for now... Oh, I also made a book room box, (another workshop that I attended), but I didn't get the pictures edited, so I'll be showing that next time, too! See, I have been keeping busy.... haha 'Til next time, love ya, Jean |

Garden surprise...
 |
| A Praying Mantis on my Dwarf Alberta Spruce... |
 |
| You can see how large it is... about 5 or 6 inches long... |
 |
| Ligularia with ferns... |
 |
| Stream running into the pond... Look closely at the frog spitter... so cute! |
 |
| Close up of the goldfish... |
 |
| Hosta in a pot...raised up to highlight it... |
 |
| Old pot... to add interest... |
 |
| My old ornamental cherry tree... about 55 years old and in decline... I will have to remove it within a few years... I will keep it as long as possible, I do not want to take it out! |
 |
| Clockwise starting at bottom left... Hellebores... Sedum... Lambs Ears... Hostas... Ferns... Japanese Forest Grass... I love my garden and it is a forty-something years work in progress. A garden is never done, so one must love to garden for it to be successful. I worked outside almost every day this summer, in mostly 90 degree temperatures, and I loved every minute of it. Now, I am thankful for more mellow temperatures, and a change in the air. I will be able to get back to posting more, now that Fall and Winter are upon us, and I am inside more.

Jimmy Stewart Museum.....
While I was on vacation in Pennsylvania,
I had the pleasure of visiting the
Jimmy Stewart Museum in Indiana, PA.
It is a large museum dedicated solely to the actor.
He was born & raised here.
His career spanned the years from 1932 to 1991.
He won an Academy award for his role in
"The Philadelphia Story" in 1940.
He starred in a total of 81 movies and numerous TV appearances.
Some of the most famous films were:
"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington",
"It's a Wonderful Life",
& "Harvey".
A movie camera at the entrance of the museum...
A poster of his commemorative stamp...
The home where he grew up. This is just a short distance from the museum...
A view taken from the end of the street where his home is...
If you ever get a chance to visit here, this is a very well done and thought out museum. Plan to spend some time here, there is so much to see. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did!
