I'm not going to post my stats for today because I have a different number to post. I am 94% of the way to my Bronze Level Presidential Champion Award!! I have a feeling I will reach it by the end of November! Hooray!!


But I was disappointed with our performance. And know we will do MUCH better at the show in November because the course is sure to be MUCH more well thought out than the ones we had this weekend. Yuck.
And this month is reserved for Thanksgiving crafts including a plastic canvas turkey and that stupid turkey hat that I have to say is the WORST written pattern I've ever purchased and I would encourage everyone to STAY AWAY from it! The person who wrote it and sold it to me is not very helpful either so I don't have very nice things to say about the Turkey hat right now.

And this leads me to my fall project! Wardrobe Refashion! I will be making over some of the clothes I already own. I have taken the two month pledge so throughout October and November, I will be refashioning old clothes or using up my fabric stash to make new ones. Visit the blog to see my first two shirts.
And because I haven't posted a food picture in a long time, this is a lasagna I made to use up the garden veggies, peppers, zucchini and tomatoes. It was darn tasty!
Polar bear is giving us a nice smirk. Or is that a snarl?
Adorable baby giraffe, scratching it's foot!
Our favorite type of cow, the Scottish Highland.
Zebra, doing zebra things.
And who's this?? It's Red, in the window where he can see us when we're in the backyard!
Tasselflower won me over with its tall stems and adorable deep orange-red button-sized flowers. I like tall plants!
Burro's Tail Spurge was a plant I saw in the Zoo, not the gardens, but it form such lovely large clumps I knew I had to know what it was. In the spring, it has yellow flowers at the tips of the stalks. I LOVE succulents, especially larger varieties that are perennial here in central IL. However, Euphorbias are toxic so I'm going to save this one for when I turn the planter beside the house into a rock/cactus garden so that it will inaccessible to any animals in the yard.
