THE BUZZ FROM THE HIVE

Wednesday, November 1, 2023

And It's November.......


 .....and the calendar has been updated!!! It finally feels like fall around here. After a weekend of temps in the 80's, today we have a high of 51, windy and leaves a blowin'!!! We had some fun over the weekend playing in the leaves!


Yes, we made a trip to NC to see Jax...and his parents! He wasn't feeling his best.....teething.....but we managed to have a great visit! Here is our little Cookie Monster.

I am so proud of my daughter...she made his costume!!!

Needless to say, I did not get much stitching done (some car stitching I will share another day), but I managed a visit to Anabellas in Waynesville, NC. It was about an hour drive and we had Jax with us, since his day care provider was sick. The shop is in a log home that was a model home for a builder...very cozy and inviting. Sadly, they had just put on a retreat nearby with the Housewives, so there was no fabric to be seen and lots to still be put back out. Here are couple photos:



While we were at the Halloween event in Brevard, I got to see a 'Book Bus" they have in their school system. The students helped paint, build shelving, etc.. The books are free for the taking!  What a great idea!!!



Carol, I thought you'd get a kick out of this!

Ending, I thought I'd share a photo of my parents...all dressed up for Halloween! At 91 and 95, they still "just wanna have fun"!!! And  a shot of me and Jax, where he is actually sitting still!!! :)



Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!

  1. It's always a good time when you get to spend time with the grandkids! Oh, Stasi, Jax is precious--and that Cookie Monster costume is amazing... Your daughter obviously inherited your talent :) Is she a cross stitcher, too? Anabella's looks like a delight--I would just sit in front of that fireplace and stitch the day away! And the book bus is so cool--wonderful that the books are all free, too. Love the photo of your parents--still going strong in their 90s. How wonderful :) Have a great November ♥

    Jax is so cute in his awesome costume, your daughter did a great job.
    The Book Bus is a very cool idea, & your parents are awesome to still dress up.
    Great costumes!
