Day late and dollar short

I only made one block this week for my weave quilt

A day late and dollar short as they say

Hey one is better than none right?

I have hefty goals for the week but not many are quilt related

We will see if I can keep up

Whatcha makin????

Inquiring minds wanna know........wanna chase squirrels......wanna be nosy LOL

 

What a difference some water makes

This was my dirty house  before....

My clean house after

Outside anyway 

My shutters are actually blue now  ha ha

The neighbor has a power washer and said for 60 bucks she would wash it

She worked from 9 am to 3

So I paid  her much more

More than double

And I gave her tomatoes and squash and apples too

She was happy

I am happy 

The  lil garter snake was the only one that was not

We disturbed his sunbathing 

Lol

 

Busy busy

3 squirrels were busy running and burying hickory nuts for the winter 

Seems everyone is cleaning and getting ready

Birds are gathering and swooping to practice 

Geese are flying  south

I tried to go for my nightly walk when a blood curdling sound in the woods made me turn back 

I had heard rustling of twigs earlier when I decided not to cook on the grill

It must have been a deer then a pack of coyotes calling the dinner bell

They sounded so close

YIKES

That will make me run 

Saw this and had to put it here

We had a sassy pony all black like this one

Named Missy 

Brought back memories

If I don't post daily this week I am fine

Just busy

Today is power wash the house day

Tomorrow hubs doctors call which I will leave work for

Then at night a sad wake

One of my cousins kids committed suicide and he found him  just 32 and they think over a girl

Will be a tough tough day 

Stay safe guys

Help others even when you can

You may be the angel they needed at that moment

Be there for family and friends

Be a good listener 

So you can hear the words of God when He speaks to you

 

Sewing a little

I decided to cut out the panel masks

Find the elastic 

And get busy 

I sewed one of this kind as I only made the pleated rectangle ones before

I decided to back each with a fun print from stash

I need to find some manly prints but I am excited to sew these production style and give them to those that need 

My helper was counting pairs of elastics for me

When he works he is such a help  lol

 

Jacky was here today

I was straightening up a bit and looking at patterns i had pulled out for tuck in gifts

This ornament potholder was one both Jacky and I wanted to make 

As I looked to see how to do them, my ❤  sank.

There was my buddy's  handwriting guiding me to the process

Thanks Jacky

I knew you would still be my sewing buddy no matter what

I'm not crying, you crying?

 

Getting serious

Will we ever be done with this virus?

Ugh

I found in my stash a mask preprinted panel 

If I add my fabrics to the backs I can make 20 masks

Some this shape.......

And some this shape

I am thinking some of the seniors here may not be able to keep buying masks to stay safe

So will see after I make them who may need them 

If I remember correctly after the last mask making

 i did I received a roll of elastic too late

But see? In God's time they were not late at all

Now I just gotta get serious and down to business

Hope everyone stays safe and helps each other in this crazy world we live in

 

What do you mean

 

My barrel filled in with all the rain we had

But I noticed the one stave is broken

So it will be falling apart 

Ugh

My once beautiful red maple is dead

Never turned red

Half green half dead 

I will need to get it removed

I tried to pretty up the front a bit

They have a pretty yard contest

Where I live

So I took a walk for inspiration

This guy was at the front near the road 

So still. If I don't move she won't see me lol

So cute

But the people who have the contest are do as I say not as I do

This looks like heck near the office all full of weeds

And crabgrass everywhere

Mushrooms in yards but different than mine

So I ended back home

And admired my clematis fromJulierose

Weeds and all

The walk was relaxing from my busy workday

We had electric trucks blocking our in and out driveways

An hour later we had 2 firetruck pull up

A fire in the garage

CRAZY crazy Monday for sure

Everyone is ok and the fire was put out

Hoping the rest of the week is just boring everyday stuff
