Rainy Days Calls For Silliness & Sewing

 We are still getting rain,so much that it us starting to cause flooding in some areas ,Grace & Sadie are stir crazy from being inside so they've been hanging with me in the sewing room ,what better to do on a stormy day but be silly 😄

Apron #3 is done,the chicken print requires a bit of gathering then I will be done with this section of Summer aprons 

I've been finishing up the pillow covers & working on binding on the patchwork quilt, rose lemonade herbal tea & thin cranberry almond cookies makes for a good break

I was wondering to what to do with all the basil that's growing faster than I can use it,I made pizza! Pesto,creamy melt cheese,grilled chicken,roasted sun-dried tomatoes & fresh basil on philsbury roll out thin crust dough,I've been researching vinegret  recipes so we'll  see what I come up with lol

Slow Stich ideas & Garden Updates

 I've got to do something with the basil,the parsley & the dill soon,but what?  I'm not sure just yet ,any ideas?

the tomatoes plants may be duds🤣 they're growing  but not blooming 

the squash seem happy

with all the rain the cucumbers are happy but drowning in the grass😄 guess I'll be pulling up grass 

I think the collards are ready to eat,they have really enjoyed the rain

just look at those little nobbies😆 those are little brussels coming out

the little black bees are back

todays a day of odds & ends ,I did get pillow too #2 with the blue & chicken print done,I may fool around with the stitch journal today & get some prep work done for different projects

the blue on the left is cut out from the fabric I bought from the warehouse,it will be filled with stitches,french knots etc.

we picked Sadie up this morning,I usually take them straight to the park but its already getting into the noon hour & its sooo hot outside,it was already 80 degrees at 9 this morning!

The Chicken Bobbin Won!

 I've won a few times but this morning the chicken bobbin won with only 8 inches to go 😄

Another bobbin in & the first pillow cover front is done

When trimming & squareing up make sure you know where your tape measure is 🤣

Fussy cutting more chicken blocks for pillow  top #2, its another rainy day ,the sun is refusing to shine as to day I give up let the rain have it 😄 so what better to do on a dark rainy day than some random sewing & maybe  squeeze in a finish or two on something 

Can You See Venus Under The Moon?

 The skies are clear & the planet Venus is shining bright under the moon tonight,how about your side of the world,can you see  Venus shining bright under the moon where you are?

Next up for Summer decor is pillow covers,the square pillows are 20" & I'm doing a patchwork with fabrics left over from the aprons ,also leftovers in the flag print I will make a slip cover for the long pillow in a blue ticking with 3 stars across the front from the flag print

Fabric Warehouse Trip

 Fabric! Fabric! Fabric! There's no way to see it all especially when its starts getting unbearably hot in the fabric warehouse in Winfield Ala.A day trip  with my friend Ree to get more fabric & blackout lining for a big custom order shes been working on for over a year for a 5 bedroom mansion of a house

There are about 5 rooms of wall to wall fabrics

Got fiberfill?🤣 that's the biggest bag I've ever seen! 

There are tables if remnants throughout the warehouse sold by the pound

I came away with a bit to play around with for my stitching journal, the company that they get their polyester spools of thread  are discontinuing  "white" 🤷 so for 99C. a spool I grabbed the last of them 

Slow As A Turtle

Its been a slow going day, no rushing to get things done but perhaps not quite as slow as my neighbors turtles😆 I'm amazed they will stay in the back yard ,I was able to catch this one running across the yard,there are 3  of them & shes had them since they were babies ,I've gotta say this is my first to see anybody have pet turtles in the yard,they will come up on the porch to eat & her yard service makes sure they're all accounted for & on the porch before he cuts the grass😄

On a sewing note, nother apron down ,

& 2 to go needing just  a few finishing touches ,Im wanting my Summer decor finished up this week 

Got the chicken print apron cut out,it will require  gathering on  the  ruffle that attaches to the bottom

A zero carb tortilla, lettuce,tomato,grilled chicken,bacon & a touch of mayo made for the perfect wrap for lunch,it was too fat to stay  wrapped for a pretty picture so no picture lol topped off with rose lemonade herbal tea & keto peanut butter balls

It's another rainy day & it will continue off & on throughout the night so it's been a sew a little of this little of that kind of day
