Busy day planned

I have almost completed two more quilt tops, I must post photos, They are so cute. (excuse me Manly, they are for boys). Having Darlene here has been good for me.
However today, I am shopping and taking free stuff.

Free stuff? The local tile stores put their discontinued tile into a bin and you can have it for crafts or whatever. Mine is a whatever. We are using it to tile the garage bathroom. Hey it is a garage it does not have to be perfect or even great. Our friend Ron has worked out a pattern using them, Now to get a few more tile.
I have to pick up a bolt of muslin for the backs of my quilts. Then off to the quilter they will go.

I have to pick up a light fixture for the outside of the garage with motion sensor on it, That is from Costco.
I have to go to the local home improvement store and buy fall plants and maybe verticals for my kitchen and bedroom. Finally I found some I like, some that is not so generic.

I must buy pine sol, as that is something I must have to feel my home is truly clean and it removes greasy build up. That means a stop at another store.
Oh well it all comes out OK once I am moving my hiney.

I have a big list, List of to dos.

David just walked in and needs me to stop at FED -EX. See lots to do but it will be good for me to get out and get moving.
The guys are here mowing the acreage. It was pretty much in need. Not too many more mowing's though,before winter slows the growth.

I am thinking of redoing my pie safe. It seems so dark, Now everyone knows I like natural wood.This pie safe was made by my Grandpa for my grandma almost 100 years ago. It is HEAVY. While growing up, my Mom had one just like it, (he made it for her for a wedding present).
My Moms was white or off white and I always recall little nosegays on the doors. Tiny painted ones, I don't know who put them on or if they were stick on or painted on.
So I am thinking off white with plum colored background. Background as in the inside back of the cabinet this plum color.
Of course I will age the off white with a little steel wool to give it a well used look.
I will have to find nosegays as I remember them.

See good thing the quilts are done, Now I can concentrate on other things. David and the guys are bringing the safe up from the old garage. I can work on it in the house garage.
Warmer there and cleaner in this garage. I have not had it in this house since we moved in.
(One more thing that was on my to do list.)

So with that I should get moving, slap my jeans on and a tee shirt,tennis shoes and off I go.
Chat later.
Have a blessed day.
I love each of you so much. (Truly I do, I love my fellow man, Ladies too).
