Hi-diddly-O Friends! For the first time ever working out of my color comfort zone is actually fun. Whoa...must have something to do with Mercury being in retrograde. I've no idea what that means, all I know is right now the planet Mercury is doing some weirdo stuff and some say it makes strange things happen. OOOOO....SPOOKY STUFF!
Well.... out here in Podunk strange stuff happens everyday. Spooky? Sometimes...but that's a story for another day. We'll stick to the strange stuff today. Example....yesterday morning while letting the chickens out to roam I noticed this ugly little guy in our raccoon trap. Opossums aren't real destructive so he was free to leave. For some odd reason he decided to nap in the cage all day. When hubby came home in the evening he quickly gave sleeping beauty his eviction notice and sent him on his way. Never seen a critter that wanted to be caged....strange. It wouldn't surprise one bit if he comes back tonight...I'll keep you posted.
For now I'm back in the Studio stitching my little nine patches....and craving a Pumpkin roll. This strange craving has nothing to do with Mercury and everything to do with orange fabric. Orange fabric = pumpkins in my mind. And pumpkins = PUMPKIN ROLLS! YUM!
Have you ever made a Pumpkin roll? This is one of the desserts the family insists I make every Thanksgiving. You could smear cream cheese on cardboard and it would be delicious! I wanted to share the recipe with you but was too lazy to go digging for it. Well, I found the same recipe online with a quick google search. And the plus was this gal is also a crafter/quilter/chef. The picture and recipe below is courtesy of Adrianne of HappyHourProjects.com
She has several awesome sewing projects that you can find here. But the one I thought was super cute and on my list of must makes is this cute little bandanna pumpkin. It's a no sew project, perfect for a quicky seasonal decor project. I'm pretty sure Walmart and the Dollar General have orange bandannas. My laziness paid off this time! Hmm...maybe Mercury is working it's weirdness after all....SPOOKY!
