I have begun stitching my
"Little Farm Girl"
Aren't her red overalls fun?
So old-fashioned looking;)))
Did you wear overalls when
you were little?
I sure did...and bib overalls were
popular when I was a teenager, too.
**********************
I know I have stated that I
wasn't going to begin anything
N E W !!
B U T:
When I saw Wanda's [click to see]
Arboretum blocks mounting up I
was smitten...
Totally smitten!!!!
I mean they are SO gorgeous;
and isn't it all about having fun,
feeling passionate about
what you are doing?
( Well, That's my story and I
am sticking with it!!)
Here are my first four blocks:
↴↴↴↴
I will be using all batiks to
try to use up my big box of them...
I find them a bit "Fiddly" to make--
no surprise here==
as I am totally
angle challenged
as you long time
readers know...
AND
SO.............
I will have to be trimming them up
to the smallest one
when I have finished them all
as I cannot make them come out
all the same size....
👽👿👺
I am making two at a time using the
same background and varying
the limbs and trunks....
The cutting in preparation is the hardest for
me right now, as standing and cutting
for any length of time is still
a hassle...but
I am getting better and
sitting in between.
Taking it
SLOW and EASY...
**************************
We are in a mini heat wave here
and the dewpoints are in the
70's every day.
So, we have been going
out to the Field where
we walk really early--
luckily they open up at 8 a.m.
It sure does feel good to get
back to our AC in our house, though..
I hope you are all nice and cool and
staying safe out there...
Hugs,
