Revamped Aprons for Cliff's!!

Good Morning Look what I did this morning, revamped some aprons from Cliff's. Yesterday I went to the Methodist Shop, a thrift store next to Cliff's, and got these cute quilt blocks, there were like 12 for a buck. So anyway when I got back to Cliff's (the place where I work) we were talking and thought they would look cute on some aprons they had that no one would wear cuz they were long and had no pockets, so.... I turned the bottoms up and made pockets all along the front and zig zagged these cute blocks on the front. Then I thought 'I wish I had time to embroider Cliff's name on the front', I'm not an embroidry nut, but I remembered some fabric paints I had so I used them, I only had gold and black but they turned out pretty good. I started at about 6:30 this morning and just finished, Yeah!!! Now I gotta get ready for work, have a great day.
Happy Createing~~

Well it's off to Cliff's today!

Good Morning All,



Well I worked some more on the chair and now all the white is covered. The rest will go a little more quickly and be more fun. Still no theme but it reminds me of a fun gramma's chair.

Here are some pictures of our wood hauling last night. Whatever was wrong with the chain saw is fixed now and we were all there to watch dad fix it. In the picture is Norman, the big dog, Blueberry, the smaller dog and Joe the cat on the roof of the pickup, oh and that's Dennis fixing the saw. We filled the tailgate!!

Here is a picture of the cows waiting for Dennis to feed them, they were a bawling to beat the band, now they like us. Oh yes a a picture of my very cool cat, Joe!

Well I'm off to pickup pictures to show Mary at work, she does not have a computer so I just print a few off for her when I go to work each week. She gets a kick out of it. Thanks, Donna

Today it's back to Work!

No painting today as I'm off to work. I work at Cliff's Country Market in Caldwell, ID. If we don't have it Cliff will try to find it for you. The owners are Cliff and Marilyn Metcalf. They're good to work for but it is definatly no nonsence and very few frills. Fall is the season for Apples so I'm off to bury myself in a bin of beautiful apples and sort the little ones from the big one. Big ones go on the table and little ones get bagged, 4 lbs for $1.99. Great value!! We're small but growing all the time. We even have an in store bakery and Wednesday is Gluten Free day. People come from all around to get homebaked gluten free baked goods like cinamon rolls, pies, sandwich bread, pizza crusts and fruit breads. Jennifer (the baker) has tweaked the recipes just so and they are fabulous, I should know I work on Wednesday and she gives tastes test ever so often. We also have a big assortment of Mexican foods and spices not to mention of local fruits and vegetables availabel right now. The nectarines this year have just been Gorgious. So come check us out if your ever in Caldwell, Idaho. I'm there on Wednesday and Thursday!!
Have a good one, Donna
