BUTTERFLY # 5, E et al

 

Purple Butterfly...(#5)

Begun

The circles are a dark purple

although the stitches look black

here....

Here is the Valdani 

thread I used...

I was able to sit out on the deck for an hour 

stitching right after noon

time as it got warmer than it has been.

******************************************

AND...

My hydrangea is turning rosey/beige.

I just love this color....

I will be trimming the hydrangea back again this

Fall as look at how it grew back!!↡↡↡↡

Like gangbusters!!;)))

Loving these floppy, mop heads...

Sooo pretty...

Dawn at "relaxingrobin.blogspot.com"

[I could not get the link to work!!] 

suggested that I make a

wreath with the flower heads...

She is SO crafty....;)))

I would love to try that...💕

********************************

We are planning to have a fence installed 

to screen us from the neighbors' Big old, rusty Blue bus 

and

just a whole lot of junk left out

in their yard ...

We have a couple of fence installers coming

to give us an estimate today and

tomorrow...

We are aiming for 7 feet...

As you can see, their yard is RIGHT off of our tv room;

and during three seasons when those leaves come

down and the underbrush dies back, 

all we can see are old boxes, and trash...

Not a very inspiring view......

I hope we can get it installed before all that foliage

dies back...

**********************************

For this past week I have been experiencing 

"Quiltus Interruptus"

I got an SOS from my DIL that

Willa  and Fiona are in 

desperate NEED

of SNACK BAGS

for school...

So I made 5 for each...

[ I forgot to take photos before I wrapped and

sent them off this afternoon...];000

We had Cats & Sushi fabric, 

Telephones and cartoons,

Owlets and snow fabric

And Ghastlies with roses

(the last for Halloween time

or those days when they are feeling

super "Crabby" ) hahaha

*********************************

So that has been my week....

I am not that adept at making small items like these and

it took me quite a while to get going...

but, they got done;)))

I hope your week has gone well..

Tomorrow is

TGIF

Even though we are retired, we still

love Fridays...;)))👴👵
