Nippy in the sewing room...

I'm on a bit of a break trying to warm my feet in front of the space heater; I have way to much STUFF in my sewing room to have a heater in there. Once I get "sewn down" some perhaps then I will dare to have a space heater in there. For now I'm going to try a second pair of socks.
My shirt and skirt are all cut out and ready to be sewn together but I want to complete two more St Gregory quilt blocks before I change the thread to black for the shirt.
Here are a few pictures of my handsome Sea-bee son from yesterday morning when he was heading out for his drill weekend...

Ecclectic Update

This is a "little of this, a little of that" update.

I got a "spiffy" new pair of sneakers day before yesterday and wore them for the first time yesterday and wore my legs out running. It's nice having shoes in good shape to run in - but it makes it really easy to over do.

Today I walked and just enjoyed the time by the river.





And this morning - with Tesla's help I got a few projects completed and ready to mail. He can be quite a little annoyance at times... but his cuteness makes up for it... I think.





The projects I completed were two Round Robin's and one of the 9 Pastel Blocks that I need to have mailed before the end of May. They are quite time consuming as there are so many smaller blocks that make up the 12 1/2" blocks. But they are quite lovely...

The Round Robins are quite fun and it's always exciting waiting for your's to get back home after each participant has added a "round" (border). Here are the two I added the first "round" to this morning....


A a single photo of the new water treatment plant -It's HUGE!
This is only a small portion of whats going up down by the boat ramp...

Current project


Actually this is a project that I am SUPER late getting to a recipient in a swap.I am hand quilting it this morning and hope to have it ready to mail by next week. I so wanted to add some beading but will just complete the quilting and bind it off; apply a hanging pocket and a label and get it to her. She has waited long enough.

July 2024.... really?

 Here it is another year since I have written on this blog. Since I found You Tube and started doing videos over there this blog has become ...
