Thank you so much for your encouragement and thoughtfulness. I'm feeling much better! Today will be spent at a soccer tournament watching my daughter play. It is a beautiful Autumn day and should be a pleasant sit in the sun. I am bringing some hand applique but knowing myself, unless I sit in a corner away from every one, I'll just be chatting with the parents and cheering my baby on! lol As most of you know by now, I can yack! lol
Given that I don't have much quilty things going on, I thought I would share with you the barn.
Tah, dah......
Dad and my brother came down last weekend to put the tin roof on. Stephen had been busy getting the cupola constructed and ready to assembled.
They worked all day Saturday and in the morning on Sunday. Afterwards, they all went sailing on Lake Champlain! A treat well deserved after all their hard work.
Stephen has been busy this week putting the finishing touches. The only thing left to do is to install the doors!
I do like the way he did the windows on each side. The glass panes came from a couple of original windows from our home that were replaced last year.
As for the weather vane, I had originally picked a witch on a broom. Unfortunately, the way it was mounted would not have worked with the cupola.
Since I love anything celestial, a sun, moon and star worked just as well.
There you have it, our barn! It is certainly a nice place for my husband to keep a stash of wood!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day every one!

Your barn is lovely - especially the weathervane. Enjoy your afternoon and some great fall weather.
Carole, Love that barn! Now is hubby going to use it for real barn use or do you get to make it into a quilt studio? Either way it's marvelous.
