thursday notes

yesterday was on the hunt for something so had to tackle the chaos of the stash....took me a solid afternoon but now pretty much sorted...at least easier to find fabrics.

herculean task but managed to squeeze it all in and still see it...missing the use of the bottom shelf but can't be helped.  it is a testament to how much fabric i've used since moving to maryland anyway.  not pictured are shoeboxes of scraps, 2 baskets of scraps to be cut up and UFO projects with their respective fabrics.  still healthy but slowly dwindling.  

if you are in need of a tri-recs set, i have two.  be happy to send them along for postage only.  pretty sure bought at joann's with 50% coupon.  determined to fling unnecessary stuff.

won't be long til these little tomato seedlings will be in the ground.  in a few days i'll divide them up into 2 pots to give them more room and should be ready to plant in a couple of weeks...

these are cherry tomato plants, sweet 100 is the variety, hoping for a bumper crop.  already have the tomato plant food on hand to keep them healthy.  

leg stitches out but numbness persists of course....signed up at local gym, had to change franchise as the local anytime fitness does not take any insurances.  got green light to start doing what i can without the leg....not quite ready for action.  coumadin swapped out for a different drug, meaning my dietary choices just increased immensely, so it's cranberry sauce with chicken dinner today after a very long time....and just in time for yummy green grapes too....

now that our weather is improving and things are pretty well settled, anticipate more time at the machine and back into the sewing swing!  thanks be to God for all His blessings!

my may quilt

first up....thanks to sue who commented on the last post and claimed the farmer's wife blocks...off to the PO today to send them along....organization is ongoing with daily decrease in floor piles as things find a home.  few more things got put up on the walls too.  

long ago had a book called "a month of sundays" featuring small quilts for every month....this was the may entry....

may baskets filled with that gorgeous tulip fabric.  at the time i bought it, hadn't a clue how to use it but just right for this.   

also got these sewn and ready to stuff...

after stuffed and sewn they'll go here....

this cute duck holder thingie made by daughter in high school shop....have downloaded a number of freebie patterns to stitch up and they will make festive holiday displays.....there is the spider web small quilt under my needle in progress, so another finish fairly soon.  

and the leg you ask?  well, numbness abating at the pace of a very drugged snail....the foot is mostly back to normal but from ankle up about 12 inches pretty numb....a real nuisance.  still using the cane but back to gym this week after hopefully getting sutures removed, which might help with the numbness...i'm told it's the last thing to resolve...

so welcome may hoping it IS a very merry month indeed...for all of us!
