Border Decisions& New Ideas For Noodles

 I put a grey polka dot border on the color wash top & was thinking of doing a keyboard border next but now I'm thinking that might take away from the look of the color wash🤷 leaving it as is will make a good snuggle on the couch size🤷taking the border off & replacing it with a 4" border would bump it back to full size🤷am I overthinking? absolutely!I wanted this finished today🤣

Grace  checking on her rooster lol when she was a puppy she'd try her best to get my sister's cement rooster to play with her😄a few years back i found a metal one so I just say it's her rooster ,she's so funny she got excited when I pulled him outta the shed🤣

Even the doves were checking out the new flower bed

For dinner I had a beef pattie going on the little grill, broccoli steaming I'm the microwave when I changed my mind midstream 🤣 on the bright side tomorrows dinner's done! left over spaghetti noodles,cherry tomatoes sauteed in oil butter & seasonings & broccoli,sometimes made up things just taste best!

A Good day😁

 Working on a few block layouts, getting these 2 together & 2 yellows & I'll be caught up on the rainbow scrappy blocks,blue will kick off June

I absolutely luv zinnias, got one flower bed down this morning 

The backyard was full of beauty this morning 

I luv watching the little bumble bees buzz around,if they gather anymore pollen they won't be able to fly lol 

Flower Haul ,& A Clean Sewing Room

 Grace & me got our Zinnia haul in ,I think I got a little over 30 & over most have 2 or 3 in them @ $1 a container so basically not I have ,60 plus holes to dig 🤣I've heard lemon grass repels mosquitoes,I'm not sure if it doesn't but I luv how it smells lemony 

I spent all day the other day cleaning the sewing room & getting everything back in order,it was such a mess there wasn't room to make a mess 🤣

Lots of progress on the garrage yesterday,got quite a bit to the curb & the cars loaded down for the thrift store

I'm so tired I couldn't even tell you my name right now if you asked me 🤣 I think the best way to recooperate is to sit at the sewing machine🤣

This  is what tired looks like 🤣

Need To Paint,New Recipes &Need To Get To Sewing!

 Well that title was a mouth full wasn't it?😄 Looking through my lastest painting notebook I realized I haven't painted in over a year! 

June is coming up pretty quick & I have a few challenges that I'm finishing up to get in on the midnight deadline June 1st, family birthdays & my main event!I'm taking my first trip with PARA I think 30 signed up , departure is 8am & return 6pm  5 different stops plus lunch in Ethrige GA in Amish country ,so I'm thinking to squeeze in some painting time in July 

Do you like to experiment & try new recipes? I've tried a few new to me keto & low carb recipes that are keepers & worthy to be added to the recipe box

SHRIMP STIR FRY 

KETO POT ROAST WITH RADISHES 

tomorrow I have people coming to help clear out my carport you literally can't see the floor 😄so today's plans are to go one of our local nurseries & get flowers then get borders on  this quilt top & ready for quilting 

grey polkadot for borders,I'm also comptiplating a keyboard border as well depending how big it will be after the grey border as I don't want anything larger than Full size,the blueish grey is for the backing

Hopefully this can be my status at the end of the day 😄

Sunday Inspiration

 Wishing you all a beautiful safe & memorable Memorial Day weekend

Working On Slow Stitching

 Working on a section of the back of my slow stitch journal , hopefully the more I work on it the better it'll look ,it's hard not to overthink it 🤣

I made 6 more scrappy blocks which brings the total up to 88 ,I'm not sure but I think that's enough if I add borders , I'll redo the math & figure all that out in the next few days

I've had family graduations back to back & now that they're all over with hopefully I can get back  full swing in the sewing room 

Another Graduation Under The Belt

On a sewing note: I've been working on a top that's giving me fits lol, I set out this morning to quilt the RSC  2023 quilt top00 but I think I want to add borders
