Another UFO Finish

 Simplicity 8595

 I don't remember the name of this fabric but it's kind of tee shirt like with a little rib to it, sewing it with a walking foot I still had to go slower than I usually do but today it's done! I will make it again in a different fabric texture in the upcoming weeks,plans for Sept.are  to sew,sew & sew some more ! LoL light blue is the color for RSC challenge or catch up on your blocks,I joined in on Patternreview's  Fabric Stash Contest,& just a few more UFO's handing around the sewing room

Pears & Orange Sunsets

Once you get through all the peeling of the pears it's clear sailing & since pear preserves like the ole tyme' candied type like your grandma use to make is chopped pears ,what a better use of the pear left around the core that doesn't slice up pretty lol I'll do that today😁

,On my evening walk with my Grace🦮,I noticed how orange the sky was & thought funny how this months RSC challenge color was 

orange & the skys in all it's orange glory

What's On The Cutting Table?

Simplicity 7203 in pink polka dot,I've had this cut out for a while, last year I made this pattern in the shorter version in green & cut the pink for our in the longer version ,mean while it got put on the back burner & I lost weight so I had to cut it down,so now I'm hopeing to whip it up this week & enjoy it before Fall weather kicks in LoL!

 

Little Houses & Patterns

Four months left for the 2022 Rainbow Scrape Challenge Orange is the color for Aug.  I can't believe I've got a good start as there's so much catching up to do on a few past colors

My pattern haul from my neighbors sale ,they are early 80's & 70's, I'm thinking of joining Pattern Reviews "Sew your Stash" challenge,a fun time to dive into some these patterns  & sew up some of my stash that's in the sewing room ,the closet,the carport........🤣

Don't Do It!

 Cleaning up this morning ,I had a flash back of many moons ago ,there's not enough moons to count back that far 😂 did you have certain systems of how your mom wanted you to do things? one for us was washing the dishes, drinking glasses first,then the silverware,then plates & pots & pans always last & if you messed up the order not  rewashing was not an option,which makes sense as you wouldn't want to wash glasses after greasy pans ,yes this morning as moons ago before dishwashers evolved lol  ,as I  looked around it was as though I could here her scream my full name as I laughed & said sorry mama I'm doing it backwards today 🤣 & oh course  I'll change the water but you didn't hear that from me! 😂

Shrimp Alfredo & Little Houses

spaghetti noodles seasoned with butter,pre cooked shrimp s seasoned with butter,Alfredo sauce,steamed broccoli make for good  comfort food & makes for more time to spend in the sewing room,orange is the color for Aug.for the Rainbow scrappy quilt challenge so I worked on a few along with catching up with other colors
