Sunday Insperation

 

Cows! Cows! Cows!

 We have definitely not been in our routine since surgery on my arm ,my Grace 🐕is use to walks in the park, Sadie's back with us this weekend,I still have to not put any pressure on my arm  so with that said 😄 I took them riding around,Grace loves the fairy farm we usually get out & up close but not an option today,as the weather cools down more will be out but enough out today for a good little adventure 

On a sewing note, for the last couple of days I've gotten quite a few pages cut out for the slow stitch journal 

paint samples , weave block & star blocks are stitched & ready to be sewn to a page 

I think I have stop over thinking it & just going with it lol I'd seen the idea to put 2-5 pages per section & sew 2 sections together 

since I'm using muslin & a hint of batting I'm doing 5 of 15" x 6"sheets per section 

Working On A Little Slow Stitching

 Able to do a little stitching,arranging pages figuring out how to put them together

I've got a weave block ready for stitching ,I'll work on it & the paint squares tomorrow 

I found the cutest teeni tiny buttons at Hobby Lobby,I thought they'd be cute to incorporate in some of my slow stitch projects

I got the stitches out today so my arms a little sore,the middle didn't quite close up all the way so it had to get  steri strips on it,gotta keep it wrapped & go back in a month to make sure it's completely healed up

I still have to be easy with it ,no pulling or bumping it but on a glorious note my arm is cancer free PTL!  my niece that's a nurse has been the only one in the family brave enough & wanted to see my  stitches lol I've debated whether to show you guys so I'll just say if you don't wantta see ,click off now 🤣

It started out looking like a tiny speck & grew this big within 3 weeks,but praise the Lord he got it all ! 

How Do You Take Your Tea?

 Sweet? Unsweet? Hot? Cold? Iced? Cream? There are so many ways & varieties of flavors these days to enjoy tea,I rarely make  tea at home anymore because I like it sweet lol

I luv a good herbal tea ,I recently tried Yogi's sweet tangerine positive energy,I don't know about the energy part but the taste of tangerine is spot on! sometimes I use a larger cup & double dose myself 😄

This morning as I went to pull out the herbal teas I remembered way back many moons ago when I was  first introduced to the thought of cream in my coffee,I was like...👀🙊 turns out I liked it LOL so this morning my Earl Grey got a little milk & raw sugar

I know it's more fatning this way but oh so good on occasion "like sweet tea" 😄 

Today Marks His Birthday

 Today marks his 71st birthday ,it's still hard to believe it's only been eight years without him ,it's strange somehow to think that I'm now older than he was when he passed away ,the last thing he said to me was Happy Birthday I love you dearly,yes he passed on my birthday on 02/10/ 16,I am so very grateful & truly blessed to of shared 42 years of life with him,this December will mark our 50th,Aug/Feb/& Dec are milestones in my life but I know who holds my tomorrows & all is well with my soul

The kids use to ask us if we're were hippies,do we look like hippies?😄

Sunday Inspiration

 

Just A Casual Day

 Taking just a few extra minutes in the kitchen & you've got yummy chicken Alfredo

Grace & Sadie were content to play outside & inside today,no adventures till I get these stitches out of my arm, 5 more days!

Sadie loves playing with Graces babies

Do you ever have those What was I thinking" moments?😄I did when I checked out this book lol 

it's a good read but I didn't pay close attention to the title " annotated autobiography " in the side margins in tiny print is explanation of every sentence you just read along with the history etc,I feel like I'm reading two books at the same time lol

I attempted to work on a little slow stitching today ,I'll try again tomorrow 😄
