| I hope you get all the wheat in before the rain Julie. When is harvesting over? I take handwork just about everywhere I go so if I have to do any waiting I can have something to keep my hands busy. |

| You gals are doing well to declutter and get rid of things. I still have lots of boxes in the garage that we were going to put out in a garage sale. Now I am thinking I will just put it on Marketplace for Come-and-get-it. LOL! Don't want to deal with all of it - and I am sure there is someone who can use it. |

Linda,
Marketplace seems to work well and you don't have to go to all the trouble of a yard sale, toting things out. JT only bring a few tubs in at a time from the shed but I am determined to get the stuff out of here. Some of it is from my dad yet. I thought I had gone through everything of his but I guess we must have stored stuff out there for him. The thrift stores are open here so I am very glad I can load up the car as I go and drop it off when I pass that way. The sooner I take it the better off I am. So far I have only taken one thing back out from all the boxes I have taken there. I think I can sell that item myself.
I have noticed while doing some sewing and things for swaps I don't seem to have the stash of fabric I used to. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. LOL!

My fabric stash is dwindling, but I have so much that it really isn't very noticeable. LOL! I have not been buying as much except when needed. I have been using some for the swaps I've been participating in.
I have sold a number of things on Marketplace and still have quite a few listed there. Just last week I sold an antique chifferobe. The smaller $20 or less items are easier to sell than the few antiques I don't need any longer. People are good about wearing masks and some I just leave on the porch and they leave the money in a jar I have there.
I will have to take things down next week when we go on vacation. Maybe then when I put them back on they will get some new action. |

Linda what did your chifferobe look like. I have one too. Mine has glass in the long door, which is on the right side of it. I keep Quilts and chinelle spreads in there.On the left there are drawers. Above the drawers is a flat area with a mirror.
Was yours similar??? I've thought of selling mine, but have no idea what to ask!I'm guessing but the wood grain tells me it is oak. |

| I would like to say, we are finishing wheat in a few days however we were rained out Sunday afternoon and got hail early Monday morning. So we are done until later in the week. I have been catching up with the garden and working on a few projects for our fall swap. |
A little rain can straighten a flower stem. A little love can change a life.

So to hear about the hail and rain stopping you from getting all finished up Julie. I'm sure it is a relief once the harvest is all in.
I have been working on some things for our fall swap too. |

Marilyn -
Here are the pix of my chifferobe. I sold for $320 (was asking $350). I paid a bit more than that 8 years ago. It was the closet in the spare bedroom in the farmhouse but I did not need it here.

| Linda that is a nice one. I believe it is more modern than mine. Mine has legs. My door is on the right side. |

| Mine has four drawers on the left side with the tilting mirror. It has a hanging rod, made of wood. It runs from back to front. The legs are curvy and have little rollers on the bottom of each. |

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done.
Philippians 4:6
Just follow God unquestioningly.
Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.

Thank you - it is beautiful. Glad I found someone who would love it like I did.
This has wheels, but I hadn't used them. The closet side also has a metal hanging rod from front to back, and it would slide out to make getting clothes out easier.

Yes I think yours is more modern. Fancier.
Back in the day folks did not have as many clothes as we have today. |

| Julie has a lingerie cabinet. It is in the barn apartment. She used it when they lived on the college farm then in the barn apartment. I bought it for her. It is about 6 feet long and about that tall too. |

| My parents had a similar piece when we were growing up. It had a desk on the side where you have drawers and a clear glass door on the other side that had shelves in it. I don't remember what was up where the mirror is, it may have been a mirror. I'm not sure what he called it. Maybe a side by side? |

LInda, you buyer got a beautiful piece at a very fair price!! It is gorgeous and will make a sweet addition to someone's bedroom.
It has been so dreadfully hot and humid here that I have been inside this week doing little cross stitch bowl fillers in fall themes. Just little things to have fun with and that I can give away or just keep. I used one of them for an upcoming fall pincushion swap and then I kept having new ideas so I keep on stitching. I also found this cute Amish Apple tree cross stitch pattern on the internet and can't wait to get started on that too.Tis the Apple Season you know! |

| Denise, I have been using a few basic patterns from my artist friend Heather Sleightholm. You can purchase some easy digital patterns from her Etsy store. Then I just take a bit of this and that pattern and put them together. I also purchased a notebook with grid paper and try and make up shapes. I made up an apple that turned out OK. These little bowl filers are on 4’x 4” squares of either 14 or 11 AIda. I just make up stuff as I stitch. I will down load a few photos later and post here so you can see. |

Debbie,
You can see in the picture three stuffed candy corn that Linda sewed up for me for the fall swap. I can't get the picture to upload right now but if you go to the swap thread you can see them. |
