ALL LAYERED UP, et al

 

"Jelly Roll Jive" is all layered up and

ready for pin basting...

YAHOO!!!!

This morning I sewed the the two

lengthening pieces to the top and

bottom and then

I ironed the 

whole backing...

I had rolled up the quilt 

and batting portion and marked

the center points on the 

edges of the batting

in pencil lines...for ease of

matching when I rolled it on top

of the backing...

So far, so good, there is

just enough overhang...

👏👌💙

I store my basting safety pins in my

Grand-mere's old light blue Ball

canning jar...to open 

and close those pins...

And in a nutshell, that is my day's

sewing/quilting work done...

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

PAPER STUFF:

This afternoon I plan on making

signatures for my new

"Junque-O-Rama Journal"--

Which will feature mostly food

labels, packaging, and junk mail.

I plan for this one

to  be the absolute 

 junque-iest one

I've attempted yet...

What smashing fun

😄😅😆😉!!

These days we are living through

with all the constant

distressing news, 

I want to find some happy time

and a happy place to find hope....

Here is the cover which I made

Yesterday from a "Toasted" cracker box...

Perfect for a "foodie" journal, right?

😀😁😂😃😄

Front featuring Eggplants

and

back with Figs

indicating it will be mostly

food themed...

And....

the inside sports pretty flower images

↧↧↧↧

I've started collecting all kinds of "trash"

that I want to recycle 

into this new journal...

Three boxes of all the usual "suspects" 

that you get in the mail and

 containers from shopping

that you would normally 

throw into recycle.  

[N.B.

My DH thinks 

I've really 

lost my mind

hahahahaha

👫👯]

But a girl just wants to

 have

💃 F U N💃

I hope you all can find relaxation 

and calming times with your

crafts and creating...
