Brace Off ...

and so was I.... off to my sewing room, that is/was.

First up was a 'squirrel'... something that I've been wanting to do for several months now... something that I wanted so bad that I sent all the way to Finland for a pattern that's not even in English! 

 The other day, before my leg went painfully wacky, I stopped at Walmart and picked up the fabrics for this project.  The red and the solid white are the only two fabrics ( well, the pink for the noses, too) that I already had in my stash.  It's hard to tell by this photo, but the 'ground' is a sparkly white... 

The top is finished - just need to sandwich, quilt and finish with hanging sleeve, label and binding.

AND, I have enough fabric left to make a matching table runner IF I want.

Next up was block #4 for the fatcatpatterns.com BOW(eek)... This gal still needs her eyes and mouth sewn down - I had to call it a night so that I could fix dinner.

No sewing today, probably.  Hubby and I are taking a color tour via an 'open car'/gondola with an old fashioned train engine doing the pulling.  We did this four years ago, but, because of his dementia, he doesn't remember it.  When I booked the trip a couple weeks ago, the weather was still warm with sunny skies for the most part - and I was really hoping for the same today, which is why I booked our seats outside.

  My weather guide says it's going to be about 50 degrees and partly cloudy with zero chance of rain --- sure hope it's right.  Just in case, I'm bringing a packet of commercial hand warmers and a quilt & told hubby to dress warm ( with his thin blood, he gets cold extremely easy).

And now I'm sitting here waiting for the mail carrier to drop off the two pkgs that I received notice for.  They are to be delivered any time between 9:30 and 12:30 - but we're leaving at 10:30 and won't be back until close to 5.  It's already 9:44, so PLEASE hurry up!  

Ok - guess I'd better get dressed - hubby might not say so, but he appreciates when I get out of my pajamas/nightgown and into proper clothing when we're going to be out in public together.  LOL

take care....

enjoy your Saturday ( those who aren't working for quilt money)

ttyl.....

9:57 - both pkgs  (plus an extra one I wasn't expecting today) just arrived
