Reproduction or use, without permission, of editorial or graphic content in any

Subscription price: 1 Year, 6 Issues, $18.00. Single copies: $3.00.
The paper is furnished free at each advertiser, highway welcome
centers, tourism centers, shows, events and other selected locations
throughout Maryland.

The cooler – maybe slower pace – timeframe of October and November is
here. Ah, Fall. Enjoy checking out the advertisers within this issue. Have fun
exploring the special events that are
summarized in our Shows & Events
Listing – mark your calendar now
for all these great events!
We hope you are enjoying the
new logo on our cover. We incorporated a slight change from The
Country Register to The Maryland
Register. We want to personalize
the publication to focus on the
area it covers for unique shopping and events – of all types – not
just country. We will continue to
feature country businesses, but
also want to have a more inclusive publication for all shopping and events.
There are so many great categories of shops such as primitive shops, garden
shops, quilt shops, needlework shops, painting studios, etc., etc. and yes,
country shops too.
Our new web address is www.TheRegisterWeb.com and our email addresses have changed to reflect that new domain name. However, you can
still reach us with our www.countryregisteronline.com info too (in case
you use it out of habit).
You can find our page on Facebook now at www.facebook.com/TheMarylandRegister or search by The Maryland Register. Please be sure to like our
page to stay up to date on new posts.
Would your group or guild like to receive FREE COPIES of each issue
of The Maryland Register? Just send an email to staff@theregisterweb.
com or call 1-866-825-9217. Let us know how many copies (25 minimum)
and a street shipping address.
We do ask that you please let the shop owners know that you saw their ad in
The Maryland Register – it is extremely important! Advertisers want to know
that their ad in our paper is worthwhile and they like it when you mention you
saw their ad. Without the advertisers, there can’t be a Maryland Register so they
need to know the paper is working for them. Also, feel free to pick up extra copies of the paper for your friends … we’d love for you to share it with them.
If you know a shop that should be advertising in the paper, please let us know
(via email, phone, or mail). We are always looking for new shops to add to our
list of great advertisers. We are also running an online survey that we ask you
to complete. The details about the survey are on page 3 of this issue.
Rachel is enjoying the start of her junior year of high school! She has a challenging course load while continuing her recently-found love of rock climbing as
she starts to plan her college search (not busy at all)! Grace loves middle school.
She is trying a new sport – volleyball. This is in addition to her year-round swim
team and a once-a-week horseback riding lesson, oh, and church youth group.
Busy – yes! You can find me – in the car getting the girls to their activities!
Have fun shopping this Fall season. Don’t forget to use The Maryland Register
as your road map. Amy , Dave, Rachel and Grace
Pumpkin-Spice Latte
by Carol J. Alexander
Harvest Your Own
This is the time of year when just the
word pumpkin makes people
swoon. Everything from
pumpkin lattes to pumpkin
muffins to pumpkin soup
invades our Facebook feeds
and dominates our Pinterest
boards. If you’ve found
yourself pinning some of
those recipes to your own
boards to try someday, try
processing your own pumpkin
instead of relying on the canned variety.
It’s a great activity to enjoy with the kids
and may even inspire them to bake some
pumpkin cookies of their own.
To process your pumpkin the easy way,
simply bake it in a 325 degree oven, whole,
for about an hour. When a fork can be
inserted easily through the skin, take it
out and allow to cool. Now you can cut it
in half to remove the seeds as easily as
cutting butter.
After removing pulp and seeds, peel the
skin from the flesh and place chunks of
pumpkin in a thick-bottomed pot with a
few inches of water. Simmer until all the
water is cooked out and the volume is
about half. Stir frequently to prevent
scorching.
Freeze your puree in quantities for your
favorite recipes. It will keep in the freezer
for six to eight months.
You use pumpkin puree just as you
would canned pumpkin in
pies, muffins, cakes, cookies
and soups. In fact, that
pumpkin-spice latte everyone
keeps raving about only takes
about two tablespoons of
pumpkin puree.
To have the perfect portion
for
your
afternoon
indulgence, freeze the puree in
ice cube trays. Once frozen,
remove and store in zip-shut bags. Use
in the following recipe.
Pumpkin-Spice Latte for Two
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups whole milk
2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree
1-2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon half and half cream
1 cup strong, hot coffee
Cinnamon
Heat the milk, pumpkin, and sugar
until hot but not boiling.
Remove from heat and add the spice,
coffee, cream, and vanilla.
Pour into two mugs. Top with
whipped cream. Sprinkle with
cinnamon.

Linda! As always, they headed down to the garage to get the jeep out. Little Anna had
a great time being driven around by her big sister and older cousin. But it wasn’t
long before she was tired of being the passenger and decided it was her turn to
drive. Of course nothing we said could deter her from trying.
Anna confidently climbed in and took hold of the steering wheel. Placing her little
foot on the pedal, she pushed, let up..pushed again…let up. Frustrated, she scowled.

Why Resist a Rest?
With the busy days of summer behind us, it’s
time to take a deep breath and recuperate for a
while. On the route I take for my morning walk
there are several inviting places to sit and rest. Clean and comfortable benches,
picnic tables, big flat rocks…all seem to say, “Stop and rest awhile.” Yet unless I need
to tie a shoelace I seldom stop. Why not? I am there for the exercise, it’s true, but
won’t I still take the same number of steps if I take just a minute or two to sit
quietly and absorb the beautiful mountain views? Why do I tend to resist a rest?
Rest is critical to our well-being and ability to function in this world. And it’s
vitally important for those who are grieving. A close friend of mine recently lost her
father. She has gone on a relaxing trip with her husband simply to rest. To read if
she can. To gaze at a river flowing on its course. Just to rest. Such rest is necessary
if we are to allow the Holy Spirit to sift through the memories we have of a
departed loved one and separate the painful ones from the joyful ones, the ones
that will bring us comfort in the days to come. To grieve well, we must rest well.
In fact, in Matthew 6:28 Jesus suggests we can put much of life into perspective
if we will simply “consider the lilies of the field.” This time of year the lilies in the
fields of Colorado are the wild Black-eyed Susans. Jesus didn’t say, “stop and
consider the lilies if you need to tie your shoe.” He said intentionally noticing and
appreciating them will reduce my worries and remind me that my real treasure is
stored up in heaven. I can’t really understand that message unless I rest in it.
I find fall invigorating. Maybe it’s because my biological clock is still set to the
beginning of the school year—and because I still love sharp pencils, clean
notebooks, and new shoes! Yet it’s a busy time for so many moms, dads, and kids. I
sense the buzzing all around me wherever I go, and I just want to say, “Take a
deep breath, and make time to rest.”
Our elders can also find rest elusive, for any number of reasons. Some of them
just feel “bone tired” as my mother would say. They are worn out by life in general,
and by how difficult it can be to do the things they used to do so easily. In my
senior devotional The Hope of Glory, I encourage these seniors to ask the Lord to
give them the rest they need. He promises He will in Matthew 11:28 when He
says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
On my next walk, I’m going to take time to sit a spell. I will consider the lilies. I
will not resist a rest. What about you?

The Knitting Savant
By Andrea Springer
Charting Our Success
Our beginnings as knitters are humble.
We learn to make the knit and purl
stitches, cast stitches on the needle and
bind them off. It’s the variations of these
basic skills that build every knitted object
we aspire to create. These skills – and a
good pattern.
Patterns are the roadmap between
inspiration and finished object. Our
ability to interpret the writer’s design can
mean the difference between a handmade
item that ser ves its
intended purpose or an
unfinished project in a bag
at the back of the closet.
Every pattern is different
and each knitter brings a
preferred learning style to
a pattern. Par t of the process of
becoming a better knitter is
understanding how you connect with
written directions. Are you someone who
prefers reading the instructions in each
row or working with a visual schematic
like a chart? Do you need a lot of detail
in the pattern, or do your eyes glaze over
and you pass up a pattern that has page
after page of writing? Do you need
measurements and photos or not?
Knowing your preferred learning style
and then finding tools to help manage
the information presented in a pattern
will go a long way towards making the
knitting experience enjoyable and
successful. Here are a few things to
consider:
Take the time to look the pattern up
online. Search by the pattern name and
add the word “errata” to the search. The
results may reveal corrections to the
pattern that were made since it was
published. A little time invested in the
beginning may save you hours of
frustration down the road.
Learn how to read charts. Many knitters
avoid them because they look foreign and
complicated but again, with a little
investment of time, understanding how
these pattern “pictures” work can save
time and frustration.
Develop tools to help
you navigate a pattern.
Pencil in notes as you go
about
changes
and
adjustments. Sticky notes
and highlighters work to
mark specific rows and
sizes. Charts can be enlarged on a
photocopier (for personal use only) and
their individual stitch motifs identified
with colored pencils so they’re easier to
read and follow. Experiment and learn
what makes the process easier for you.
And – as always – swatch. Making sure
you’re getting the same gauge as the
pattern is the first building block in the
success of your finished garment.
Our handmade projects are built on a
foundation of basic skills and a good
roadmap. Chart your success with a little
preparation and the right tools.

FREE ADMISSION
October 8th & 9th, 2016
If anyone had told me a year ago that
I’d be moving next week, I would have
laughed and probably even have said
‘never’ as in, “I could never move, my
husband would see how much fabric I
have.”
And, all joking aside, I would have
added that it would take several things
for me to move. I would have to have a
hundred-year-old house that had already
been restored (I restored an 1889 many
years ago and loved it but was a lot
younger at the time)
or a wonderful log
cabin. It would also
have to have the
kitchen of my
dreams and a huge
quilting studio.
But that would
have been then and
this is now—and I
am indeed moving. No, I did not get my
historic beauty nor did I get my log cabin.
In fact, I am getting a three-level
contemporary that is totally not my style
and am moving into a house with stairs
after having lived on one level all my life.
Am I nuts? I have wondered about that
since signing on the dotted line.
What I am getting is the quilting and
design studio with the space I have always
dreamed about and a kitchen that might
actually make me want to cook. Hubby is
getting a sunny yard with enough space
to plant a garden and we are doubling our
square footage, which gives the ‘fur
children’ more space to run, play and
shed. All of this combined was enough
to make us ‘bite the bullet.’
And so, as we approach moving day,
we are both very excited, but I am faced
with a dilemma. My husband knows that
I have a lot of fabric since I am a Creative
Grids designer. He is fully aware of the
double closet, four cupboards and the pie
safe filled to the brim in my sewing room.
What he does not realize is that many of
the boxes in other parts of the house hold
fabric as well. They are in ‘disguise’ and
are part of the reason we are feeling a
little crunched for space.
For instance, the box in the guest room
closet that says ‘fall clothes’ with the ‘f ’
circled is actually fabric in fall colors. One
fall sweatshirt rests on top of the fabric
so it really does contain ‘fall clothes.’
There are other boxes with a letter circled
as well. Example: The box marked ‘winter
clothes’ and a circle around the ‘w’ holds
a white sweater on top with gorgeous
tone on tone whites in the bottom. A box
in another closet labeled ‘plastic tubs’ has
a circle around the ‘p’ that stands for
pieces and parts of quilts in progress.
(The pieces and parts are in plastic
containers within the box so the labeling
by Deb Heatherly
Quilting with Barbara
by Barbara Conquest
is somewhat correct.) I know the ‘code’
so I know exactly where everything is
when I need it.
With this move, however, I worried that
my secret would be discovered. What will
he think when he realizes? Will he call
‘Hoarders’ to have them do an
intervention on his wife? I was getting a
bit apprehensive until we were discussing
the move last evening. Our discussion
went a little like this.
“I’ve reserved two trucks,” Dear hubby
said with a smile.
“Two trucks,” I
asked, “Whatever for?
I am sure we can get
everything in one if
we get a large one.”
“Well,” he said, “I
figure we’ll need one
for the household
things and one just to
move your fabrics and keep it all
together.”
“I still think we can get everything out
of the sewing room into one truck,” I
said.
Not missing a beat, Dear hubby
responds, “Well since you are finally going
to have the design studio and space that
you need, I thought your ‘fall clothes’ and
‘plastic containers’ might want to join the
other fabrics from the sewing room.
Keeping it all together in one truck might
make it easier on the other end.”
I tried not to crack a smile but before
long we were both laughing and I asked
him how long he had known.
“For about a year,” he said, “I was
looking for a plastic container to put a
few nuts and bolts in. Once I realized that
‘plastic containers’ did not mean what I
thought they did, I realized other things
might have a different meaning as well.
The clincher was when I was looking for
wrapping paper to wrap your birthday
present and found a whole box of red
fabric underneath. I realized then that the
circled ‘r’ was code for red fabric and
began to notice all of the boxes in this
house with a circled letter.”
“What you don’t realize,” he added, “is
that I’m a fast learner. Those boxes of
mine that say old clothes and have an ‘x’
marked in the corner are actually things
for hunting and fishing.”
With that, we were both laughing again.
When we finally stopped laughing, all I
could say was “If anyone helps us unpack,

The Dawning of a New Day
Traditionally with the dawning of a
new year we tend to want to make
resolutions that will improve our life such
as vowing to lose weight, stop smoking,
or starting an exercise prog ram.
However, before long the vast majority
go back to their old habits and their
resolve is gone until the next year. But,
why…why do we let a whole year go by
before we resolve to try again? Perhaps
it’s time to change our mindset for every
day is a new day – a new opportunity to
start anew.
Using that strategy, with the new
school year beginning, now
would be the perfect time to
determine you are going to
start out strong and not give
up. When things get tough,
seek help through your
parents, a teacher, or tutor to
keep your grades up and to
prove to yourself that you can do it.
October is another popular month for
weddings. This is the time to rejoice in
your new life together and strive to keep
your vows to each other fresh and
renewed every single day.
If today you have found yourself
dissatisfied or disappointed with the way
things are going, remember tomorrow
is a new day – another chance to turn
things around – another opportunity to
make a difference in your situation. Life
is not always easy. But remember, each
new day affords us the ability to start
anew. So, as you head out the door to
work, or school, or starting a new life
together, today is a new day. The past is
just that – the past. Today you will resolve
to take that first step toward making
positive changes in your life.
To get started, why not sit down and
over a cup of tea begin to draft a plan as
to how you will reach your goal.
Remember, mornings are the most
beautiful time of the day. Wake up
anticipating the day and what it offers – a
chance to start again, and a hope that you
can try once more. Don’t let anyone or
anything stop you. Step out
and let the process begin,
perhaps learning through
your experiences as you go.
Someone once said, “Every
day may not be good, but
there’s something good in
every day.” So persevere to
the end. As you move forward; remember
tomorrow is a new day, and so, you just
pick yourself up and start anew.
With hope in your heart may you greet
each new day with a sense of purpose
and dedication toward reaching your goal.
May you have a happy new day!
