birthday came and went and just like that i've made it to another year. i do NOT feel my age (except maybe my knees) and still consider myself an active participant in the human race. dear daughter took me to lunch (jersey mike's) and then a hot fudge sundae (bruster's) and gifted me this...
i looked at all the colors but caved with blue of course....to add to my mostly blue wardrobe. we had a fun visit. school has started for her so no more impromptu visits for a while.
august is nearly gone and have just about finished my autumn sewing projects....only the pumpkin wall pieces to baste and quilt and then done! i did make a few more of these...
they are so fun to make, again takes more time to prep fabrics than sew up...every time i make one i think about other fabrics to use so i had to quit before it got out of hand. ideal for gift cards, tea/coffee pods, doggie treats, sewing notions, makeup, mugs, jewelry, cookies/sweets/jams/chutney etc...
today got jack #2 pieced...paper piecing is definitely not for the obsessively neat! it still needs a border, basting and quilting.
and tada! i have a bona fide finish! the vintage melons piece is done....
i've made a very poor showing finishing up UFOs this year so far....the eye infection derailed me for a time and now this marathon 2-month sewing that was unplanned. oh well, winter is ahead and should be able to catch up somewhat...
spend way too much time with cable company this week trying to resolve a glitch caused primarily by switching banks. neither xfinity nor my online pharmacy like my new bank card. other payees work fine but those two are problematic. called bank but of course have to trek down there.
our short stretch of decent weather has ended...mundane routine things go on as per usual...time to clean up the bits and pieces, ready for the august finish!
