We're still enjoying the fall weather here....

This weekend we had our dear friends, Theresa and Brian down from Minerva for some relaxation and good food. Mark and Brian always cook for us on Saturday night which is such a treat for me and Theresa.

Today we went to German Village for lunch at the Mohawk. It was my first time to eat there and I really enjoyed the Black and Blue Burger with homemade kettle chips. After lunch we walked around the neighborhood....I just love looking at all of the old houses. This is a nice arrangement on one of the front porches.

During the day on Saturday the four of us got to go to the Ohio State Stadium Recruiting Room for a party thrown by BNY Mellon. They sure know how to throw a great party! Of course, the best part was that the Bucks beat Michigan!!!! Here's a nice photo of Theresa & Brian.

me and Mark We won the centerpiece on our table which I think is really pretty! Those are live flowers.

The Alumni Band was there too to play and help us cheer on the Bucks.

I just thought I'd throw in a photo of Luke here....who doesn't love to see a baby face?

On to some knitted projects.....here's Luke modeling the Buzzbee hat I made him. He loves playing with the i-cord straps that hang down.

Stefy bought me this pattern for this sweater for my birthday and while Mark and I were on our little vacation in Maggie Valley, N.C. I bought this yarn from the Yarn Paradise Shop in Asheville. It's a really pretty color of deep red made by King Tut. So far I have the swatch finished. I'll start this sweater after I finish seaming the Jeanne sweater.

In the meantime, I made the yoke part of a cotton top just because it looked so pretty in the pattern. I don't intend to work on this anytime soon, but I thought you might like to see how pretty it did turn out. The yarn is Eco Organic Cotton and the color is gray with a hint of green.

and last but not least, here's Papa corrupting Luke while watching TV. He's letting Luke hold onto his bottle of beer!

Fall in Ohio plus a trip to the Alum Creek Dog Park.....

This is Lily....tired after chasing her new friend, Gunnar the gray labradoodle.

Ivy isn't too interested in chasing dogs, she's just looking cool.

Lily playing Sherlock Holmes..."Hmmmm, I wonder who peed here"? Lily doing her Forest Gump impersonation...."I was running". Gunnar, the labradoodle and his owner on the left, Lily on the right of the tree and Ivy coming back to me because what she thought looked like fun chasing Lily, wasn't really fun after all. This is the road I drive on when I go to the barn to visit Marshall. Isn't it the best?

Burning bushes I passed on the way to the barn too.

.......and a lovely gold tree.

....and a gold tree with red tips on the gold leaves.

Today I noticed that all of the pear trees near and in our neighborhood are showing off. They are a beautiful deep orange and red. Glorious fall....I love it the bestest!

Lots of photos to look at this time.....

I'm not sure if anyone really looks at my blog because no one posts comments on it. I'll still post to it though.

I believe I made mention that I was working on a baby quilt, but couldn't post the photos yet. I have finished the quilt and mailed it to the recipient, Bailey K. Meyers who lives in Olympia, Washington. I knew she would be a free spirit so created a quilt that I felt would suit her. This first photo is the back with her name appliqued at the bottom.

This is a close up of some of the quilting..... more of the quilting..... and more of the quilting.....

This is the front of the quilt..... This is the label on the back....

Time for some Luke photos! Here he is chillin' in a hat that his mom bought him....isn't he cute? Here he is in a hat that I knitted for him to go with his new Gap Bomber Jacket.....

It's called Retro Flying Helmet from Debbie Bliss's book Sublime 600.

Here are some thumbless mittens I whipped up for him too. I made them before he got his new coat so they don't really match, but they work all the same.

I'll leave it at that as far as things I have made recently.
