sunday post

can't believe another week has whizzed by while i've been sorta busy, with exercise mostly.  made it 5x again this week!  the culprit has been meandering....after finishing at the gym, the good weather has kept me outside just wandering and enjoying the spring.  today, tho, this finally reached the flimsy stage....

the s'mores top!  the pattern was shorter and wider, but when i added 2 rows, ended up with generous twin size, ok for me.  it will cost less for batt too, another plus.  thank you, jo morton, for this pattern and all your lovely fabrics!  happy to say used up half of my small repro scraps....whereas had 2 piles of them before started, now only these remain...

a few very small pieces ended up in the scrap basket but have started cutting pieces for another scrap top that'll get donated, so these should be gone soon as well.  while it's fun to sew with and use up these scraps, there is still plenty of yardage on the shelves waiting in the wings.  *** quilting on the scrappy trees continues.  i've one project bag packed to go and the other will be applique pieces for 'midnight at the oasis', hoping to get that top done on my return. 

this week must focus on house chores.  lots of little dog ears need to be vacuumed up, plus 2 small floors to wash.  maybe i can get my 2 fans cleaned before the trip.  

cherry trees just about to explode.  this is the nice maryland weather before the icky sticky hots arrive and it'll be indoor a/c days until late october.  don't like maryland but worth being close to my daughter and that makes all the difference....it's love you know!
