WONKY VISION

               Improv Wonky Vision beginning........................

Since my vision is too blurred to work on anything that I want to
make following a pattern or anything like exact sewing 
(👺 not that I am that exact in the best of times--
 but this is ridiculous!!);
I decided that given the facts that  Helga 💓has a great scant 1/4" 
allowance i can preset and really almost
pulls the fabric through by herself, 
I would try my hand at a free form
Improv piece...
                            S L O W L Y and CA R E F U L L Y...

I made two blocks and then rested my eyes...and repeat....

I've been wanting to make a "cross" quilt for a long while--I found an
old layer cake of funky solid colors this morning while attempting
to "see" (right 👀) what I actually have in my "deep stash"
also known as --
                               THE DARK STASH. 💀 

                       [Talk about "funkified" greens....]

I am trying to keep these blocks around [or about] 8" by 10" or so--
luck playing a starring role with this for sure...LOL.

Not my usual CHOICE FOR colors or style--just playing around to 
see what will come of this--
perhaps a small piece; 
maybe seasonal pieces--like  
                                       [Weird Christmas or perhaps Spring ]. 

I don't want to strain my eyes (like I did a week ago!!) so I am working 
slowly--I also don't want to sew my fingers (ouch!! )

Can you tell I am frustrated???Really??? My appointment isn't 
until MARCH 26th...maybe I'll just go and eat chocolates
til then...👹
**************************************** 

Hubster is practicing his Alto Sax while I write this --
he is working on long tones and scales...
he is trying to get back into playing shape after his 3 operations ...
not so easy...at almost  80 yrs. 

His birthday is March 13th...and my daughter has invited us and the family to her home for a celebration..so we are looking 👀 forward to this...
event...
we do not do surprise gifts to each other --(having had 53 yrs
of marriage and some less than exciting presents...heh heh)
 but usually just each get something that we really want 
and not just something we need per se...
Altho' that's ok too--

He hasn't as yet come up with anything from me ... 
                      👴time's a wastin' tick-tock--👵

(I cannot even see those emoji--and why are they so small???)

So, from Foggy SE CT I bid you a good rest of this Sunday...

Hugs, Julierose, La blageuse (wearing dark glasses-euse)

  1. At least the birthday falls in the middle of the time to wait for the surgery. So two weeks of happy anticipation for the birthday, then only two more weeks until the surgery. It will go fast.

  2. I like your improv crosses! I think they look great. I just hope you're not overdoing it. I'm sure you'll have a nice time for your husband's birthday. The rain stopped here but I'm not looking forward to the wind tomorrow. It sounds pretty awful. Take care of yourself!!

  3. Rest and get better. I am playing the waiting game too for the retina. It isnt detached but us seperated. Fun fun isnt it
