  Wow ...who would think we are already thinking about Fall....but after driving through the mountains of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming the last week and seeing the trees and bushes already turning the Fall colors I came home and decided it's time to get my list out and go to work.  I always like preparing ahead of time for everything......I always want to be ready.......so I prepared a list......my list and you can change it and make it your own...or just make your own....but a list keeps me organized and I love checking the items off as I go......and yes, I will probably be adding more as the days go by...no special order...just a list 1.  clean gutters 2. repair the gutters if needed 3. wash the windows inside and out 4. get out all lumber jack plaid 5. order firewood if needed...or furnace oil... 6.  make a batch of homemade chili 7. replace or clean furnace filters 8. get out Fall throws and pillows 9.  Mouse proof all house 10. change all bedding and lines to...

I started this snowflake afghan throw a few weeks before Christmas when we had just finished working on about 6 Peppermint Pinwheel afghan throws for sell for the shop.  I thought it was beautiful with the blue and white together.  Then the family started showing up and Christmas was in full swing.  The afghan disappeared and as the old saying goes "out of sight out of mind" well it was.  Then we were working on the basement yesterday and found the Tupperware with the pieces all in it waiting to be finished.  It had gotten stuck in the cupboard with the grand kids board games.  I worked on it for a few hours last night and will try to get it finished today. It is 29 degrees here so not much can be done outside.  A perfect day for homemade stew and crocheting.  This will be finished and put into our shop...check it out on https://www.etsy.com/shop/rustycupboard.....or www.pinterest.com/rustycupboard/.........or www.twitter.com/RUSTYCUPBOARD
