Happy Halloween!
Join me and the others at Quilt Schmilt's Tuesday To-Do
link-up as we share Week 44's progress today and make our
plans for what we'll be working on next week, which is #45.
Week 45!?! Yikes! It's getting close, isn't it?

Work on Cascade #2, aka "Harvest Lane"
Lot of progress here.
143 blocks made and sewn together. If my stash will
143 blocks made and sewn together. If my stash will
help me out, I'll be putting a border on it today.
2) Start on Thanksgiving Blog Hop project
This uses the same size of strips as Harvest Lane so I just
cut extras for this project at the same time. It's a start!
3) Garden clean-up
With temps dropping to the 20's, I picked everything.
I never like to say goodbye to the fresh flavors but it's
always a relief to say goodbye to the garden work.
There were still quite a few partially green pumpkins
but I think they'll finish ripening up just fine. And now
there are pumpkins everywhere: on our front porch,
in front of the garage, IN the garage, on the decks...
I came across these fall fireplace screensavers by
Moodscape (Youtube) like this one that I've been enjoying
in the studio. I find the crackle of a fire very relaxing.
I recommend checking them all out! Gorgeous stuff!
that I want to save for cooking when the temps drop too low.
I usually just set them around my kitchen--but this! Well, it's
it's nothing like the screensavers but I'll keep adding to it.
Next year I'll have to plan ahead for better props!
(Candles, fall flowers--I can see it now!).
Soon, I'll be lighting a toasty fire and they'll all need
to be rearranged to safer spots anyway but until then,
I love having them where I see them all the time.
4) Walk the Walk
Get in at least 10K steps 6 days/week.
We've gotten so much rain so very little golf was played.
I still managed to squeak in my steps as required, usually by
taking a quick evening walk with hubs. I'm not sure I would
have pushed like that if it weren't for this challenge and my
accountability buddy. So grateful for her idea to do this!
Jumping right on into next week...

Between my Hubs and you and Roseanne, I was inspired to finally get started on treadmill-ing and stationary biking, and that motivated me to get serious about the diet, and I've lost 5 pounds. Losing motivates me even more! I hope to get down to my goal by the end of the year, so thank you!
