I saw a flag quilt on Pinterest the other day and decided that I needed to make one! So I ran and got some fabric and put this together last night! It was really easy to make, but when I washed it to make it “rag” out, some of the fabric shrunk differently than the other and it came out a little bit crooked. I was just going to leave it, because it is just a seasonal decoration, but my OCD got the better part of me and I had to straightened it out! :)
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend! My husband and I had a great one! We went out to dinner and I had Steak and Shrimp for my Thanksgiving dinner! It was delish. He had the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but I have a hard time passing up shrimp when the opportunity is there! :)
That is one thing about being empty nesters, we have to share all of our kids and their families, so every other year we have them and then on the off year we usually go somewhere. This year we just went to Park City and then on up to our cabin. It sounds kind of lonely, not having family for Thanksgiving, but all of our kids live close by and we get to see them every Sunday, so it is OK to share them for the Holidays! :)
I got all my decorating done early this year, because I knew that everyone would be gone and I would not have help, so I took advantage of the grandkids when they were here.
This is my front porch: It looks really fun at night, because it is all lighted up!
My daughter had this dead tree that she brought over to me and said that it would be perfect for a Halloween tree! What do you think?
I had this old, yucky pot, stains, cobwebs and all! 
And I spray painted the pot and the tree and…
Added a bunch of decorations.
And this is what I got!
I added the witch hat to the base of the tree and this is what it looks like at dusk.
This is my little flower cart on the front porch.
My favorite find at Swiss Days a couple of years ago!
It’s beginning to look a lot like… Halloween!
