Sewing Working had several of their patterns on sale for $5.
Normally, they are between $18 and $22. They are well written with lots of good advise and ideas.
I also bought a new pattern and some fabric for the pants. Then I asked if they could match the colors to make the top. I’m very happy with the result.
I don’t know about you, but I really like getting pedicures. Most nail places around here are not unlike a greasy spoon. You’re not sure of the food on your plate and you’re definitely not going to use their lavatory.
Happily, there is The Day Spa in Blades. Everything is fresh and clean and the ladies are just lovely and it’s just one mile from my house.
They are also very accommodating.
I was ready to sew the six sections together, but that’s not right. After switching two sections, I remembered the long thin checker board I made. Once that was found, I started to sew. Maybe I’ll have something to show you tomorrow.
This is a very nice scarf, alpaca and a bit of mohair. I lost the label or, more likely, one of the cats carried it off. It’s about eight feet long. The mid-section is about a foot wider. I just wish it wasn’t blue. I left it on my glass head for a few months hoping I would warm up to it. Never happened. My daughter said her attendant would like it. She has to stay at the back of the bus which is colder than the front. My daughter drives the school bus for the special needs kids. She says she loves them all, but they can be a real handful. I believe I need to make some gloves before it gets chilly.
Notice her eyes are half-open. Also, she had a heck of a time getting up on the buffet. Normally, it’s one perfect lunge with one perfect landing. She is very graceful and she loves to pose. A few weeks ago Sweetums finally finished assembling the patio chairs. He had left the parts on a pillow on the settle with all the catnip toys. Got that? And now I’ve got one very happy cat.
I was trying to take a picture of the hat in Superman colors. It is for my great-nephew who lives farther north. Should I add ear flaps?
We seem to be getting the hurricane leftovers today. It rains, then sunny and rainy again. Walking and shopping hasn’t been easy either.
The boys are having a rough time.
They tried sleeping outside.
They had to come inside and guess who got the pillow and blanket.
Here they are, but I’m not very happy with them.
I definitely need some sun and a human.
Will I ever tire of it?
After one evening, or three to four hours, this is all I managed to finish. Let’s just say I was not happy. I had over thirteen hundred stitches to bind off. To make matters worse, it is a picot edge. Cast on three and bind off five. And now you know why it took me two weeks. Or was it three?
And what else has been going on? Well, not much. Dr. Shoes (I will never be able to pronounce his name) replaced a prescription that I hated. He said it would take three to six weeks to get going and I would be tired and dizzy in the meantime. And he was right. Now, I feel pretty good.
