I know, I know, it’s Halloween week and I should have had this posted a few weeks ago. But. Stuff happened. And I really wanted to share how cute this doll was before Halloween! It’s not too late to make. If you spend every free moment cutting, hand stitching, and stuffing. While perusing Instagram, I came across this absolutely adorable … ….oh there’s more
Back when I started blogging, I posted a LOT of photographs. That was my main hobby back then. Along with gardening, playing piano, and reading. I’ve expanded my interests over the years and got away from posting my pictures. So many other things to do. But, I still take snaps, with my Canon DSLR and my iPhone. And I thought … ….oh there’s more
This is a pic of my “feral” cat attacking my sandals. Have to admit that the cat has a thing about feet. If socks are left on the floor, she carries them into the family room like they are a trophy. My shoes or sandals are attacked as soon as I remove them. Cracks me up. I found the cat … ….oh there’s more
I’ve been working on headwear for two of my grandkids’ Halloween costumes. Haven’t been able to get back to sewing totes or quilts yet but should be finished with this fun project this week and send them off in priority mail. I did get all my Autumn decor out although it’s 90 degrees here in Homosassa and I’m wearing a … ….oh there’s more
Happy FIRST DAY OF FALL! Although, there’s not much difference between August and September here in central Florida. Still Hot. Still Humid. Still Raining. We have had more rain this year than in the last 60 years! Yikes. But anyhow…. I finished my second test “Let’s Go” tote. And it turned out beautifully. Of course it had to–all the fabric … ….oh there’s more
Saturday is Moda Fabric’s “Sew a Jelly Roll” day as part of September being “National Sewing Month”. And I would really like to do just that and start a Sunny Day Supply quilt. But not doing it, nor am I stitching up an Autumn quilt, or a quilt with Mod cats, or my annual Christmas quilt. But NO, I have … ….oh there’s more
I should have called this post, Pencil Pouch Mistakes. I made SO MANY on this pouch. And it isn’t a difficult project. It all started out because I was organizing. Three sewing machines in my limited sewing/quilting/crafting space are two too many. So I had to move stuff around. And I emptied all the drawers in my Ikea cabinets. One … ….oh there’s more
OMG. Yesterday was Labor Day 2021. No more wearing white pants! (Not that they all all that flattering!) And we actually had a whiff of cool air over the weekend. Even went to a local outdoor bar to hear one of our favorite bands Sunday afternoon for about an hour and didn’t melt. And even better than great weather, these … ….oh there’s more
Yippee! I am so happy it is done. And I love it! Gotta say, it’s queen sized and very difficult to photograph. Especially when Miss Kitty follows me everywhere I go and loves nothing better than photo bombing my snaps! I had planned on taking it out in the community yesterday to get some pictures in the beautiful Florida natural … ….oh there’s more
I did not plant any of these flowers. I actually planted parsley and basil in this spot. Obviously the wrong seeds were in those packets. JK. Zinnias, cosmos, and vinca reseed like weeds here. I don’t have much luck with parsley and basil. I actually pulled those zinnias that are laying across the path. Terry said one of us was … ….oh there’s more
