I started off being neat.
That didn’t last long. I got out lime, purple, orange and turquoise thread and had a blast!
Did I ever mention that our main bathroom had red shag carpeting? Oh. And red white and blue wallpaper. I will admit that I am patriotic. It’s hard not to be when you work for veterans for thirty-five years. Anyway. It had to go. It just wasn’t right in the bathroom. We have been looking at flooring forever. Then we got Frank for a whole week. Yea!!
Should we get new lights?
Here they are all sewn and ready for embroidery.
Instead of making a separate label, I put this directly on the backing.
I found this cute heart and some little flowers. Maybe I’ll add another cat or two.
Christine has received her mittens. She says they fit perfectly which is always a relief. Now, she has offered to make me a woodcarving! She asked me what I wanted. There is always cats, but I like elephants, too. And giraffes. I like to watch the big birds as they float on the wind. But not geese. They are a pain. Although the babies are cute. All yellow and fuzzy. Pigs are kind of cute, too. But, I wouldn’t want any of them in my house, so I think I will stick with cats.
I started on a sweater for me last night. I started on a sleeve. That way I don’t have so much to tear out if I don’t like it. I like it so far. Doug wants me to do one with stars.
Pretty, huh?
I did some quilting today. It is so different from dressmaking. You have to be so precise and I like to just wing it. I need to sew, but I don’t need any more clothes. I never would have thought that I would ever say such a thing. I am hoping that I will get this quilting thing down.
Ready to sew together.
It’s kind of lumpy.
The borders are on. Now I have to cut out and applique the hearts. That’s my favorite part. I like to embellish. I also want to embroider a label. I think I have a cat one somewhere. I may also embroider some more hearts and flowers. And, to think, I actually managed to take all these pictures without any cats.
When we came in from our walk this morning, I decided it was time to change this:
to this:
. I wish I had one for St. Patrick’s Day, but I do have a green Easter egg.
I started my St. Valentine’s Day table runner. I like the colors, but I had an awful time cutting the 6 1/2 inch squares. They kept changing to 5 1/2 and 6 inch squares. It was making me crazy. That would be a good list. “Things That Make Me Crazy”.
