IT'S THE BERRIES:))), et al

 

I began quilting my Strawberries 

early this morning--

What's a girl to do when she wakes up

at 5 a.m.?????

She, of course.....

decides how she wants/needs to quilt

her berries:))))

(Before someone comes along and

eats them hahaha)

Because my appliqued berries' strips

are so wide and the berries are so

large, I figured they'd have to be

quilted down or the planned

echo quilting around them would just 

POUFF out those fruits!! 

Decided on dark red for the berry

and lighter green for the cap...

I stopped halfway through the cap as

the "HANDS" decided they

were getting tired. 

😒😓😔

I know this will take a long time--but I

am in no hurry; this is my quilting

project for the foreseeable future...

We interrupt this post to

bring you a

AMARYLLIS SURPRISES AGAIN!!

THREE more buds appear overnight!!

and .....

not to be outclassed,

 my 

white Christmas Cactus 

is putting

forth lovely, frothy blooms:

After seeing this "Whitey" bloom

 

 "Tangerine" decided to bud out, too!!

My little window garden is coming

alive...;)))

👀💕👀

We still have a bit of snow on the lawns, 

but roads and driveways

are all cleared..

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

Today various household chores need

to get done: vacuuming, dusting, 

and general picking-up...

Housework is always

FLITTING AROUND

                   
                                                          More BUTTERFLY rounds....
                                                     on my S L O W Holiday project
                                                    I am only working on this one thing...

The Left border 4 patches have been sewn together (I had to use just a 2-patch to make the
length on the side....) but not yet attached...
And the right side ones are to be sewn tomorrow.

                                                     I need to rest my hand as it is

                                              Sore from cutting strips and sewing.....so done
                                                                           for
                                                                         the day...;000


.After this, my next decision will be  whether to stay with the dark green garden fabric strips  or not--
Adding borders a bit at a time....20 minutes of  sewing/cutting  intervals...then resting
*****************************************
This afternoon I will be watching the Patriots v. Miami Dolphins--(we are Patriot fans here).
And maybe indulging in a few Cape Cod Chips--ya think??? lol

***********************************
Here is my surprise Amaryllis--the package gave no indication as to the color.....

Looks like I may get 3 {;))) } flowers from this one...it sits on my bookcase right next to my tv
watching recliner...
The tag does show red--but then, all the tags were a generic representation
of an amaryllis..with no name or directions...fingers crossed ...a surprise is nice...right? 

Hugs,
Julierose, La Blageuse... (go Pats-euse)
