Yay on the fencing supplies!
I'm trying to imagine seeing an acre of land entirely mulched. Not something you see in my part of the country.

I would think that he would take it as a compliment, and accept the free manure!

What a score! DH wants to fence in my darling chickens. They LOVE LOVE to scratch out the tan bark out of the ground level planters and the courtyard area. I'm always sweeping it up, while he's yellin' at me and those d*** chickens. So we have some of those old rusty t posts and alot of CA oaks. If I could scrounge up some more fencing, I'll staple gun it to the trees and put a t post inbetween for strength.

great score on the fence!
You can try putting household ammonia on your finger, it sometimes will help the sting.

So my SIL has this project. She has invented and is trying to patten some fancy diaper bag that rolls up and you can do one handed. When she was in the planning stages we sat down together to plan it. She really is not very experienced in sewing. I explained how I would do it to hide seams, etc.. She took my advice an stitched up a sample. Now she is going to attend a craft fair and wants to take several to sell. Yesterday she asked if I would help her sew them. I don't mind helping but I don't want to do them all. Even if she does offer to pay by the piece. I like to sew but I don't want to do it as work.

The best diaper bag I ever had, opened up completely (zippers on the sides) and was lined with a PUL type fabric, it was lightly padded, and served as a changing pad when open. I took it everywhere - disneyland, seaworld etc. It didn't hold a heck of a lot as far as changing supplies, but once I got into the groove, I knew exactly how many diapers I'd need etc. it was perfect for a day trip. I would use a clean diaper as a pillow and the pockets held extra's and wipes and a zippered pocket for the dirty ones or if disposables you could throw them away.

Thanks to all.

Yes the fence was a great gift from the SIL. She is the one who I find all kinds of bargains for on CL. She is very successful and very busy. I found her a Free 4 horse trailer once. Took some fixing up but it was cool. I found her a great shed for her ranch. The guy was moving and he sold her an 8 x 10 Tuff Shed for 500 bucks. I would have bought it for myself bu I did not have the means to move it.

We still have some issues on placing the fence in relation to property lines. I am not going to fuss about 2 feet. These people help us watch the animals when we go to the desert. So I don't want to burn any bridges.

I took a Benadryl for the hornet bite. I totally forgot about it until now. So It must have worked.

Second SIL is selling the diaper bags. Well the first diaper bag is done. The fabric was rather thick and I broke two needles I think my needle is out of alignment. Not sure how managed that. Hi tech tings.. Jeesh.

She is coming back tomorrow for another bag. The first two are already sold. I told her I would do them with her but really did not want to do them on my own. She had like fabric pieces cut for maybe 50. Now their sitting on my dining room table. She has a website and has applied for a patten (sp). Good thing we have actually made a couple.

She is going to a craft fair the first week of Nov. Wants to have a few more to sell. She paid for a booth and said if I had anything I wanted to sell she would take it. Uhhh how am I supposed to craft if I am sewing her bags???

Comming to a store near you!!! http://myforgetmenot.com/#

I might whip out some beanies based on the yarn I have.

Anyways. It's raining here again.

I guess I should try and sew some diaper bag stuff.
