CROW'S FEET, et al

 
Here is my next memory block..

[I had to call up Jack the Ripper
two times--I had the feet on 
upside down (!!)
and the beak 
pointing the wrong way!!]
So
After a soothing 
cuppa tea,
I performed surgery on
Mr. Caw Caw.
Phew!! 

Those tiny little
feet started out as
3/4" squares...
I mean, really???

**********************
Anyhooooo...

While I was working on him,
I was reminded of when I
used to help Dad rake the
leaves in the Fall 
in our 
back yard.

[And here my little leaf block also works with
Mr. Caw Caw ;)))]


 Dad  had prepared a bottomless metal can
that we stuffed the leaves in
for burning --which
you could do with a permit in
those long ago days....

I just loved that
smell of leaves ummmm

Anyway, our little doggy,
Winnie, [Eng. Springer Spaniel]
thought it was great
fun  to chase all the crows that
flew onto the lawn
 to catch the goodies that
we had uncovered while raking
👪💛💭
I think of those fun Saturday
afternoons with Dad
every time 
I see flocks of crows
scurrying across our skies...

****************************
Still working on my hexagons
while watching 
"Drive to Survive"
on Netflix preparing
for the return of Formula One
racing next weekend (F1).

I have one rosette totally completed:

I think that this Kismet fabric
looks like Liberty of London..
don't you???

A TAH-DAH moment:

Here are the back and front (?) hahaha
of Fiona's finished Dolly quilt
AND
Willa's
↧↧↧

All labeled and ready to mail
out for Easter....
I still need to make cards
and wrap them up with 
pretty papers and ribbons
😄
***********************
And that, my friends is where
my quilts and blocks stand
right now...
(not counting my too many
UFO's of course)
Grrrrr.
 **********************
Today is haircut day
for me
(a bit on the shaggy side!!);
and eating lightly 
as
we both feel that 
over the weekend 
we ate
VERY 
BIG 
MEALS!!
Ooof-dah..
(Oh, roll me home Mama!!)
😨😩😬
************************
Take care and stay safe
and Pray for Ukraine and
Ukrainians during these
dark days...
🙏😭
