Thank goodness everyone didn't show up to last night's Guild meeting at my house...We filled it up with 14 members, everyone was comfortable and we got a lot of work accomplished. I didn't take a photo, but just imagine a room full of the most generous, kind and wonderful women a person could know...
That's my guild sisters!
These are a few photos of some WIP's... I loved this fleece pattern, looks like toile. I was trying to match the navy blue knit cuffs I found a while back. Remember when you could go into any fabric store and purchase those cuffs or yardage you purchased by the inch? I snapped up the two packages I found at a Ben Franklin in Wisconsin.

Never too old for a cozy throw...someone will get this for his birthday next week after I crochet a manly edge on it. ;-)
Home made mittens I need to decorate, they will have some lace and a floral arrangement in them and will be for hanging on the wall...I'm going vintage on these babies!
Speaking of vintage... While cleaning I found this bowl...A $500.00 ash tray, what my Dad used to call all the things I made in High School art classes. He was actually a big fan of my arts and crafts, but my parents wanted me to go to a public high school. With 5 kids and my brothers already Catholic High School graduates, they thought I would be fine in a city public high school, and they would save some $$. Little did they know that all my friends were testing at Alvernia...the local all girl Catholic High School, tuition, $500 (or something like that) a year! (1970's pricing!) 
At Alvernia, I found the amazing School Sisters of St. Francis, A progressive order, amazing women! Sister Anne taught art. I took drawing, ceramics, enameling and metals, calligraphy and blossomed under her guidance. That's where I tinkered this aluminum bowl over 40 years ago. It's not much to look at, but oh the memories it invokes!
Have a great weekend my friends, I've got some crocheting to do!

Penny,
Happy you enjoyed your guild sisters and that you accomplished some things.
Love the hammered aluminum bowl . . . tucked away, now found, do you have some plans for it?
I just came inside for a break from the leaves. Out at 11:00, in at 4:30, rested now and back I go.
Quite a sight I was under a huge Norway Spruce . . . I was blowing the leaves from under the tree and tripped on the cord and went down on my rump . . . (smile)
I don't think the neighbors saw me!
Happy November!
Love, Lynne
Sounds like it was fun. I like the guitars. My son would like that. Have a great week-end.
