corona-cation, episode 9

well, we simply HAVE to stop meeting like this!  i admit am starting to get a tad bored despite herculean efforts to keep busy each and every cookie-cutter day.  i did take another mental health drive and have been to the store twice since last post, otherwise nada.  ***  the black/aqua/white donation is tied, bound and finished...

gosh i do love the colors....it wasn't an official UFO but it's done and ready to go after a quick wash....and i've been working on my 'wildest dreams' stars.....4 done, 12 to go.....

waiting until blocks are constructed for ironing due to bias edges...but this is gonna be a beauty i think.....thanks to a couple of online pals for some repro scrap gifts!   and deconstructing 'farmer's wife' continues now and then....3 rows have been unsewn with 4 more to go...had forgotten how big this really was....

all the while been thinking about what to do with the tan triangles that'll be left over....and last but not least, had a few moments of local fame this week.  a feature on my guild in the county senior newsletter and my photo was included....

that's me in the hat....we meet in the church hall and it can be cool there in winter months....that's it for sewing progress so far.  did finally haul out the vacuum and slowly chipping away at household chores....bath and kitchen floors have been washed and more progress today.  also been doing some mandatory cooking.  today it's blueberry muffins, roasted asparagus and a pan of zuke with onions, some chicken for lunches and a batch of cookies.  food delivery deals abound and have been tempted, but sensibility has held me off so far....that's all the news here....as always, so very thankful for my family's continued health and safety...nearly all of us are in the high risk category you know!

  1. Congrats to the "Cover Girl"; what a wonderful group to be a part of, the recognition is highly deserved! Set an extra place~ I'm coming for dinner; you had me at blueberry muffins. I love the way you're turning your Corona-cation into "Episodes"! You're certainly making good use of your time and those Wildest Dream stars-- are you kidding? They's positively MAGNIFICENT!
