Hi Mom



This is one of my Mom's favorite flowers.when we came to look at the house it was in full bloom
Like this
As if Mom was saying hey there

Isnt it gorgeous?
Its in the middle of another plant but i dont dare move it
My luck i would kill it


Has anyone else made a birch tree quilt? I didnt use a pattern i did from memory seeing them online
But
I dont remember if any of the birches are supposed to line  up 
At least a little?
Mine are kinda all over the place 


And Julie i came across this pattern again
I may need a slow down hand project


Yeah. I was going real scrappy from slabs and cutoffs and stuff
Old make do kinda look


Heres a flower arrangement for you all
Wish i had pumpkins i would make you each one
I love doing these. So fun

Have a great day!

Baby baby......



I now have a small little pile of burpcloths 


Some not shown here
But all cute flannel.

Next challenge......finding velcro for the bibs

I figure if each gal got 5 burpcloths and 3 bibs or so that would be good.
Then i can get the baby quilts going. 
So many projects....  
So little time
I really need time management lessons

Do i live in Arizona



I think with corona they moved my state

I sometimes feel like I am in Alaska
And now Arizona
Ughhhh

Hot humid and yucky out

Good time to stay in ac and get out sewing projects
I gotta find this one and finish it
Maybe my winter project

I decided i need to make a list but stick to ONE till it's done
We will see how that works with my scatterbrain lol



Meanwhile these look easy enough to make for tuck in gifts
The youngins and some hipsters would like I think
A circle, 2 half circles a zipper, keyring
How easy

I am thinking together bags and earbuds pouch for 5 nieces......hmmm

I am thinking of making a few of these and seeing if very fiddly or not.
If not then assembly line make some and into the giftbox

Have you found some neat useful gifts to make?

Dont judge



I visited my "bear" brother yesterday. He was home while Dad and other brother are in Maine.
This bear he shot in maine. They use the meat and everything so dont judge.
I am not fond of bear but they are.
Makes bear lasagna, bear steaks, bear meatloaf 
Cant get any fresher than that.
 Anywho he had a ton of kale 
So i am making kale soup with Portuguese linguicia sausage, onions ,kale, and potatoes 
Yum
The rest  of the kale went in the freezer fo lor a soup later on. 
We had a nice chat. I dont get to see him often as he usually stays in maine.

This bear he still has the claws. He does taxidermy and wants to do something with his claws. He is a smaller bear but those claws are pretty big and pretty sharp.

I can see why a bear can really do damage.

We were talking about deer sheds and making things.
My brother has some beautiful maine birch that he made Christmas candleholders with.
Sooo nice
He is crafty.  Made my squirrel feeders
Saw some cool antler rings online and he is gonna tinker around with them. 
I guess making things runs in our family
