Weekend Crafting

By MDH:

Dinner is ready... Come & get it!

From the razor wire from this weekend's estate sale finds...

For Halloween from a tiny gourd...

By AEK:

A head start on Christmas gifts...

The giant sunflower...

And Kitty is enjoying the new pillowcases...

Today's Estate Sale Finds:

I found:

An aqua pitcher with a scalloped lid...

A clothes line!

I used to have tan plastic one from the Rio, but I can't find it anywhere.  This one is better because it is metal and blue...

 

A bean slicer...

A pink angel ornament for my Gma...

Some Christmas stuff:

A king size pillowcase for MDH, a Little Golden Book, and some ribbon...

Some lights...

Pillowcases...

Some Mexican tin ornaments...

Insulators:

Our first green one!

Yarn wrapped hangers...

Holly garland...

I didn't know exactly what this was until we got home and opened it...

MDH found:

A triangle dinner bell...

Pencils...

Lamp parts & hooks...

Jingle bells...

Rusty railroad spikes,  a horse shoe, ax heads and a clamp...

Old ice skates...

And some razor wire...

Gourds

This is our best year growing gourds.
I think there are 7 or 8 big ones so far...

FPLP Collection Update

This used to be a book shelf.

At Christmas it is a Santa shelf.

Now it has become our Little People display/craft supply storage shelf...

Who says a farm can't have two silos?

This shelf needs some help.  I need to rearrange, and make room for the houseboat & the marina that are packed away in the basement.
The gigantors, some Sesame Street characters, and moms...

Going to the circus...

These guys are camping.  I am missing the truck, sink, toilet & ladder to the camper set...

I'm not sure what the ferris wheel and school bus are doing at the airport.

I can't believe I passed up the airport structure a few months ago.  Sometimes I can be so cheap!

Then we have these guys in the hallway...

And our trusty travel companions are in the bedroom ready to go:
De Oro, Montana & Lucky...

Giant Sunflower (and some icky bugs)

The only big one we have this year...

MDH noticed this tiny grasshopper...

And this horn worm devouring a tomato plant...

New FPLP

We drove to Pasadena to pick up some FPLP to add to our collection:

The Ferris Wheel...

It still works...

 

The train: I just needed the blue car for the lions...

The animals: I didn't have the giraffe...

Another barn....

Silo and tractor...

Farm animals, fence and trough.

I needed another fence piece & the trough to complete our farm set...

Cars to the garage, stop light & parking meter.

I also got the garage, but it is packed away because it is too big for my shelf...

A dump truck, jeep & tricycle...

Cowboys...

Girls...

Moms...

Dads...

Dog, clown, ringmaster & conductor...

Boys...

Sesame street lunch counter. merry go round & mini bus...

Some furniture...

And Kitty wants to play...
