The Loot!

I thought I better share some pictures of all the loot that I brought home from my little road trip last week. 

There were books:

Patterns:
Some fabric:

Even a kit.  I don't usually buy kits, but this was too good a deal to pass up.
Everything has been put away, and I've been doing lots of sewing.  I had to get a few things finished and off the sewing table so I can start Mr. Jack O'Lantern.  After all, it will be October in just a few days. 
And what, you ask, did hubby do while I was away?  He went out and bought his annual pumpkins and mums.  He says he's cutting back this year - one year he bought 19 pumpkins!
And in other hubby news, we went out to dinner with friends on Friday night.  He ordered a bowl of soup, ate it, and ordered and ate a second bowl!!
Tonight he ate my homemade chicken noodle soup.  Yeah!!  He's finally turned the corner and is beginning to improve.  Hopefully he'll be eating solid food in the near future.  I think he's lost over 40 pounds.  Thanks you all for your prayers throughout this ordeal.

Counting my blessings......Sunny

  4. Whoa, my comment disappeared before I'd finished, so if part of it appears followed by this, I'm sorry.

    What I was trying to say was that I am glad for both of you about the improvement in your husband's appetite, and also that I love some of the patterns you bought.

    What on earth, though, did your DH do with 19 pumpkins?
