Looks like a lot of fun! You're growing your own cotton! What a neat thing. I knew what it was because one of the decor stores in town had wreaths made out of those cotton balls. They were quite popular. Hope you get lots of lovely rain that you need.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-27333053975076519302016-10-29T20:05:21.311-07:002016-10-29T20:05:21.311-07:00Im in So Cal too...wasnt the rain fabulous this we...Im in So Cal too...wasnt the rain fabulous this week.

Seems like a great thing for someone so interested in fiber arts!<br /><br />I also love that went to a painting party. I went to my first one some months back and had a blast.<br /><br />I was unable to Friday's Fave Five recently because of ... well ... life. I hope to be back soon.<br /><br />So Sue from Welcome Heart is a college friend of yours? You're so right, it is a small world even in cyberspace. I love Sue and her topic of hospitality ... something for which I need coaching. I love the idea of being hospitable but have trouble making it work in this hectic life of mine.Jerraleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303751802364926617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-37043203469743061532016-10-29T12:04:35.168-07:002016-10-29T12:04:35.168-07:00I'm glad you've got your hubby back.

Do you have a spot for it.<br /><br />Cotton - I knew that before you told us. Are you going to spin it? Maybe not spin, but do something with it using needles. While I might know what cotton is, I am not knowledgeable about how to use it.<br /><br />Hurray on getting your gloves done. They look warm and cozy.<br /><br />Have a great week.Susanhttp://fruitfulwords.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-8083890083223819442016-10-28T16:00:03.779-07:002016-10-28T16:00:03.779-07:00I grew up in north Alabama and knew it was cotton ...I grew up in north Alabama and knew it was cotton immediately. :-) Beautiful plants!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121222198887672974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-13352518934763492872016-10-28T11:10:50.205-07:002016-10-28T11:10:50.205-07:00I did recognize the cotton!

Haha, at first I thought you were showing us the one leaf you had to pick up until I read about the raindrops. We have a yard waste bin plus 4 extra trash bins that will be full so we had to buy those leaf bags from Home Depot for the rest of the leaves...such is life up here in the land of maple trees and other leaf dropping trees. ellen bhttps://happywonderer.com/2016/10/28/up-and-down-five/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-46217574674912958642016-10-28T04:31:40.257-07:002016-10-28T04:31:40.257-07:00That is such a great quote...I've seen that be...That is such a great quote...I've seen that before either on FB or pinterest or somewhere.

I've only been to a paint and sip place once but it was loads of fun. Happy bday to your friend.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy a much needed rainy weekend. We received our first bit of snow yesterday. NO one was amused. But it will quickly melt....after all this is upstate NY! the weather changes quickly around here. <br /><br />Happy Weekend!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06608258814596465122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-91903008061359083012016-10-28T04:05:10.119-07:002016-10-28T04:05:10.119-07:00I remember seeing fields of cotton when I lived in...I remember seeing fields of cotton when I lived in Arizona. Is that going to be your next spinning challenge? The new fall leaves are very nice for a change....one of the reasons we enjoy seasonal variety. My prettiest maple has already lost her leaves, but there are still a few on the other two. Looks like you will have fun with your painting! MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
