FIFTY-NINTH and counting, et al

 

Today is our 59th Wedding Anniversary--
πŸ’πŸ’‘πŸ’–
Here we are at our daughter's Wedding
above...

We plan a quiet, restful day with
most likely a nice "take-out" meal.
After our recent bout with 
"after-Covid shot-itis" 
we just don't feel up to a big
restaurant outing...
πŸ‘½

It appears that we will be able
to sit out on our back deck
and relax....with this lovely weather
we are having right now.

So.....
I will be working on my final
Batting Book (BB) page:
Here is the pinned version below:
I am naming this one:
"Once in a Blue Moon".

A whimsical representation
using some favorite fabrics 
from my stash...;)))

Here it is basted in place:
I used Jude Hill's 
"glue basting"
method to hold everything
in place for working...

And here 
are my 
latest additions:
I added that Metallic Braid 
that Nann sent me in her
surprise gift pkg around the 
partial moon; 

Thanks so much, Nann;
it was definitely
serendipity that this was the perfect
item for my Moon surround...
:)))))))

I am
slowly adding some twinkling
stars and little comets across
the background skies..

**************************
On my Lego project:
I have sewn the two long sides of my 
lego/slabs: "Willy-Nilly"
together--one more 
L  O  N  G
strip to sew....
πŸ‘€πŸ‘ΊπŸ‘€
52 [+/-] " long
Slow going on this; a lot
to handle for my poor shoulders
and hands...
But, but. but

I do love how the longer length looks!!!

{thanks Wanda and  QDJulie for your
advice to "go for it".  You
were so right;)))) }


I hope your day will be a wonderful one
