STRESS RELIEVER

Michael attended a Stresss Relief workshop at work last week.
and brought home this little yellow guy with wild hair.
If you squeeze it a voice says..
RELAX
CALM DOWN
DON'T STRESS NOW
TAKE IT EASY
Brandy went crazy over it. It was pretty cute watching her.
Enjoy the photos.



WOOL BOM TOP READY

I purchased this wool BOM kit from the
quilt shop in Hiawassee in December 2008.. Here it is the end of September and the top is together and ready to quilt.
I plan to hang it from the loft at Hunter knob.

EATIN MEETIN OF THE QUILTING CLAN






During my last visit to Hunter knob I invited some georgia friends and some florida friends who have homes in georgia for a lunch and sit and stitch.
Since we ended up mostly eating and doing as show and tell the ladies referred to the day as an EATIN MEETIN... and the group as a quilting clan.
We had a great time and hope to meet again next month.


Little Visitor

Yesterday when Michael came home
from work he noticed ab tiny
squirrel walking back and
forth in front of the front door.
he called me to come out and the
little squirrel walked out to the
grass to see Michael.
He scooped it up and we called
our BIL as he is the squirrel
expert.
Got details what to get to feed it
and off I went to the grocery store.
We made a little nursery
out of an amazon box.
It seems to be eating well and
I have been feeding it every 3 1/2 hours
during the daytime.
Good news is our BIL Jimmy and
my sister Dotty are on their way
today to pick it up and take it
back with them.
They have lots of experience
raising baby squirrels.
Once they arrive my BIL
can tell the gender and
can select a name.
We have been bouncing back
lots of names this morning.
Stay tuned.

NATURE PHOTOS


As always I try to capture a couple of nature photos when are in the mountains.
God sure makes a beautiful display of the morning fog as the day begins.

SAVING A HUMMING BIRD


A little hummingbird flew in the garage and flew upstairs. Michael opened the windows hoping it would fly out but it didn't. Later when he came back the little bird was laying with it's wings stretched out about dead.....He picked it up and brought it to our feeder and put it's beak in the feedding hole. He was panting and not eating well so I filled a plastic lid with the food and Michael put it's beak in the food and it started drinking.
Within several minutes it was strong enough to stand on it's own and to our amazement it flew up in the air.
We looked at each other and couldn't believe it.
Pretty awesome.
I was able to capture the event with a few photos to share on the blog.



Three new quilts at Hunter knob


Here are the three new quilts for hunter knob.
Brandy enjoys her new quilt to lay on at the end of the bed. she likes laying there looking out the glass doors.
The hunter knob quilt fit perfect at the bottom of the stairs.
The colors matched well on the star sunflower quilt to the quilt on the bed downstairs.
