Autumn the Redd dawg

Put the dang camera away, I will not open my eyes, I will NOT!
the cats laughing in the background!


Mom put these tupid antlers on me!

Matts big doe!

He was glad to get this one! After hunting became the main life focus, he was successful. Way to go Matt!

Christmas Stockings!

The stockings below are old sweaters that have been washed in hot water, then dried in a hot dryer. By doing this most felted pretty well. Then stitched them together by hand and machine sewed the fold over. Then hand sewed ornamental buttons for decoration.



These two are for Walter and myself.


These two are for Susan and Matthew


From left to right, these stockings are for Eli, Melissa and Ben!

Christmas Pine Cone Wreathes

These are fun to make but hard on the hands! One thing I don't do but should is bake these fresh fallen pine cones in a slow oven on paper for a little while to melt the sap off of them. But a little vegetable oil does the trick as far as cleaning my hands.
One wreath for my daughter the other for my daughter in law.

Autumn Redd!

Chillin (literally) with her country ball!





Autumn catching the veiw! Sporting her lady bug floral scarf!

Catskill Columbus Day!

Susan and I went for water to the infamous pipe that has flowed for eons. After driving round the mountain, we decided warmth would be a good thing so she starts a fire! A little bit of work but we got it going! Here she sits perched in front, where she would stay most of the weekend!

sigh...

Felling a bit melancholy this fine cool Sabbath days end. It is quiet, though one of the 'girlies' had to be put out of her misery tonight.
Always sad to lose a pet even though she was a chicken. One can say damn the devil! It was never the intention of Jesus that we suffer death/sin or what lays with in that realm. I cannot wait for His return in the clouds to take us home. My prayer is that all whom I love will have the same desire, that they will also except the invitation to live in the Heavenly kingdom. It begins here and now, as we pray "on earth as it is in Heaven..."
I just finished Jim Hohnbergers book, Come to the Quiet. He talks about having that intense one on one relationship with God and knowing God's voice, giving Him your all and excepting His all for our lives. The battles and sorrows as well as joys and triumphs! We all have them, but do we recognize them. I know some of mine, I know there are more. The book was his sequel to Escape to God. Peace peace wonderful peace coming down from the Father above, swing over my spirit forever I pray in fathomless billow of love...
