It’s a Lucy Neatby pattern, but I don’t know the magazine. I usually remove the ones I think I will make and put them in a binder after a few years. I don’t know the name of the dyer either. Ruth ran off with the label. It’s probably under a bed in 20 or 30 pieces.
This is Ruth. She may look the innocent, but she isn’t.
I was getting very tired of looking at expressionless people so I decided to do something about it.
When you look at me you will see a nose and mouth. It just won’t be mine.
Sweetums became jealous so I had to fix one for him too.
After six years of good service, my phone died. Everything linked up beautifully, even my car, but I had to get a new case. I found one I liked with an extra fold for cards and cash. It’s very nice, but too much to carry around in my pocket all day. I needed something smaller. I found some left-over fabric that I had quilted about ten years ago. There were two pieces that I trimmed and sewed together.
I’m not a brown person, but it’s soft and slippery and on the inside. The kitty fabric is sparkly.
Next, I turned down and sewed the hems in place.
I sewed Velcro to the front and flap. I wish the hearts were on both sides.
Finished! It fits nicely in my pocket and only took an hour to make.
I was finally able to get a pedicure. The place that I usually use has not re-opened. I really liked this girl so I think I will stay with her.
I was surprised to see a red-winged blackbird on the porch early this morning. I see them in the trees and the feeder that hangs off the deck. But this was definitely a first.
I didn’t think it was a vulture. It was too sleek. Sorry for the poor pictures. I was inside and it was a bit overcast. By the time I got outside, he was gone. I didn’t even get to see him fly off. Maybe next time, if there is one. They usually travel in large groups.
Now, I want to thank my brother, Bill, for sending me ‘Birds of Maryland & Delaware’. I’m putting it to great use.
It looks like another nice day. I believe I’ll go out and enjoy it.
I have decided that if I can’t say anything positive than don’t say anything at all. Since I am basically a grouchy person, I haven’t posted in a long time.
I’m looking forward to my daughter and son-in-law visiting next week. Jenn is helping me cut up Duke’s old tee-shirts for a quilt. After twenty years in the Navy, he has quite the collection. I found a tutorial, so I better watch before they arrive. Sweetums has several projects lined up to keep them busy.
Time to wrap this up. It is lovely outside. I need my sock knitting, my tea, my umbrella and to watch water wander down the creek.
Tony says Hi. Be careful. He hasn’t bitten anyone today. Yet.
