More Adventures For Grace & Sadie

 Our walk consisted of walking the Easter egg trail ,we didn't get to walk where the main part was "all the pretty" lol there were workers everywhere cleaning up from the storm that blew through But  I did get a few cute shots of them  

The wind made a mess & people are going to have to come in & redo their displays,o took them down a ways & walked long side the river

No sewing today but I did  pick up some elastic to finish my skirt & a bag of batting, mostly I've been cleaning out kitchen cabinets & culling out dishes then went & picked up a new stove

Rain,Sunsets, Adventures & March Rambles

 We've had more rain, cooling down to the 40's & high 70's by noon ,crazy crazy Spring weather  but it makes for happy plants & flowers,the limelight is turning whiter & growing by leaps & bounds

the wild spider wort is luving all this rain, I am hopeing to get them separated to incorporate more plants 

last night while out,  I caught a glimpse of a glorious sunset just before dark 

March was more of a catching up month than a finish month but i am happy with the finish of Diliahs quilt

I did get 2 of the tops sandwiched together for quilting ,I've been working on the green with pink thread & luving it!

Caught up on various blocks, i actually made a skirt but didn't have enough elastic to finish it so it'll blend into April's finishes  

I desperately want to invest in another dress form ,the mannequin is slippery & works only for looks for one piece items ,the skirt is a lot  fuller but had to be pinned to the blouse to stay up

I caught the girls taking a nap earlier this morning,perhaps they're resting up for the next adventure lol

speaking of adventures,they had a good one yesterday after the storm passed

It may be a few days before I can get back full force into sewing projects, I'm dealing with getting an old stove out & a new one in , a friend wants to have a day  of crocheting,I haven't crocheted in years & shes just learning & a neice & her daughters wanting to have a craft day which could lean towards anything from aprons to ironing board covers to whatever lol, the back yard needs a good Spring cleanup ,a fence to be painted ,flowers to be planted  along with things on my bucket list I'm hopeing to inlist my niece to help me😄

Rainey Day Sewing

 A trenchial down pouring rain is passing through,so what to do but create,working on the lime green quilt,fabrics laid out for some easy quick skirts & then we'll  go from there

Sadie darted under the table when the sound of Cannon booming thunder came through,thunder is gone for now but still raining but shes still hanging close to me

  A few skirts are in the plans for today 

Weather man says that the storm is just passing through,so hopefully it'll go about its way soon 

We Vote For Pink!

What contrasting color for the final stitching?  🤔some suggested coordinating lime green,many suggested grey ,a few for lilac & a few for fuchsia pink, Grace & Sadie agree fuchsia it is! 😄

trying to see if I like it in the hoop, Sadie already tries to snuggle,she feel asleep & started snoring  so I thought I'd stay in the floor make a few stitches lol

Sunday Inspiration

 

What Brings You Joy?

 

What brings you joy?  What do  you see when you look at things?  The simplest things can transport you back to another time & place  in an instant ,but if you're  not old enough to remember the pattern & make of these bowls them they're just bowls to you & that's ok! & I am old enough to remember & that's ok too!🤣🤣
Reproductions of  days of ole ,just the right size for single  servings

Count it all joy,there's no deeper joy than the smile on a childs face, my little great  niece & nephew were such big helpers  on this windy day helping me surprise Delilah with a "just because" surprise , then sweet birthday surprises  at the car,I've heard shes already had her first tea party😄

First Signs Of Spring

 The azalea bush is blooming & one of the rose bushes has its first little rose bud coming out

Lots of new & fresh ideas for the back yard but will have to take it one idea at a time
