What do you mean its Monday? where did last week go?

Ever feel like you can not squeeze in another thing,,, and then you do? lol I have been burning my candle at both ends and in the middle these past few days!

I have so much going on and so much left to do, and I kow that I have been a bad bad blogger, but something had to give lol! I promise to try and stop by you blogs and see what you all have been up to just as soon as I can!

I just added this turkey to etsy. It is my last fall creation of the year. You can read all about him at http://www.angiesraggedypatch.esty.com/ or follow the link. Thanks to Tennesse Ridge for the fabbulous pattern!

My daughters basketball team remains undefeated!She is number 32 there. They just won first place in another tourney that finished up Saturday. They are all playing so well! I am so proud of them and the hard work they are putting in~ and in our school, they must be on the B honor roll at least to play... most of them are on the A honor roll, so they are not only winning, but also working hard in the classroom.:) They play again tonight, tomorrow night and again on Friday, so you'll know where I'll be in the evenings! I have signed up tp be part of Out of the Box Sampler. You can read all about it at http://www.outoftheboxsampler.com/ This group collects samples of your work and then sells boxes of samples to customers all over the country. In an attempt to get some more exposure I signed up for the December box and have over done it. I signed up for 200 samples!!! What was I thinking????? oh yea I know... I wasnt lol! I have about 100 done so far and will have them all ready to mail out by the 15th or die trying!... more than likely my fingers will fall off by then lol

annnnnnnnnnd I had to look at why I was doing this and it dawned on me that I hadnt updated my website in forever, sooooooo I got some great new graphics from Penney Layne just in time for the holidays and got those up. I have also added some new goodies and have more yet to add! I'd also like to get some Christmas music playing over there too, so I still have some work yet to do.. but you can see the main idea at http://www.angiesraggedypatch.com/

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd last but not least... I will be having a hugggggge sale on Cyber Monday. I will cut my price to the bare minimum. This will be on allllll my places from Lemon Poppy Seeds, to Country Fried Primitives to Country Crafts Sgow Online to my website and esty.

A Halloween joke for ya...

A man is walking home alone late one foggy Halloween night,when behind him he hears:
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...
Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...
Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him..
FASTER...
FASTER..
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP.......
He runs up to his door, fumbles with his k eys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him. However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping.
clappity-BUMP...
clappity-BUMP....
clappity-BUMP...
on his heels, as the terrified man runs.Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, he locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.
With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door.
Bumping and clapping toward him.
The man screams and reaches for something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup!
Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket...and,
(hopefully you're ready for this!!!)



The coffin stops

They are made of muslin and have a very cool cutter quilt tails. I am thinking of making a set for my Ma to use as place card holders for Thanksgiving, but they can be bowl fillers, tucks or, if youd like ornies.

Did you ever wonder about turkeys? Where they got the goof ball persona? Why is a crazy person a turkey?.... well I'm sure I dont know and if you find out let me know lol!

We have all kinds of wild turkeys here in Northwest Missouri, and I would never call them goofy. Goofy looking maybe,,,

at our old farm house we had a metal railing going up the back porch steps. Every night I would go out and "slop" the dogs( they got our left overs). One night I walked out, did my thing and was walking in, when I realized that I had walked right past a wild female turkey roosting on the railing!

Turkeys can be vicious if provoked and have very long back claws that they use for fighting. I think (think) that these back claws are prized by hunters as well.

annnnnnnnyway~ there I was spoon and bowl in hand and staring down a full size turkey. I'm 5'5 and she was staring me eyeball to eye ball siiting on that railing! This turkey had to be at least 2- 3 feet tall and about 20 pounds at least.

Some how panic overtook me and I pried the screen door opened and screamed for the hubby

..... I never scream when I'm scared, I just go all spooky silent, which probably saved me a beatin from this ole gal in the long run!

The hubby could not believe this bird was sitting there. He even got up from his chair and left the remote to investigate!.... I know~ he left the remote!

Every night the old gal would come back to roost on our porch railing. We learned to always look before going out at night, to not disturb her.

One day she was gone, but not gone gone. She had laid her eggs! Where I am still not sure, but it was close to where we kept out trash barrell. Any time I would try to take the trash out, she would come at me.... and friends turkeys are super fast. They can run fast and fly fast! I think I read somewhere that they can fly at about 45 mph!

As it turns out~~~ I am super fast too when chased by a wild turkey!

The turkey became so bad, that I literally tried to DRIVE my trash to the barrell only to have her attack the truck!!!!!

goofy????? not one bit!

over protective mother hen attack turkeys????? I believe so!

side note:

the pictured turkeys will in no way attack you, they are your friends and will love you...

Soooo this past weekend the 14 year old and her fast pitch softball team placed 2nd in Districts!
They had a great season and with only 2 Seniors leaving, they have a great shot at going just as far next year.
It has been very cold here in Northwest Missouri, we had 35 degrees Saturday for the game! and we were lucky! Not too far away from us another game was being played while it SNOWED! Needless to say, the girls were very cold. They huddled up on the bench when they could under blankets and quilts.. and you should have seen the OTHER team...
their uniforms are SHORTS! egads!
