HEXAGONIA--FINISHED, et al

 

This Hexie project just

fits my cocktail table

in our living room...

;))))

This depression era 

cake plate was my Grand-mere's

I love how it looks on top of

my Hexagon topper...

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

Today I had PT again...

with much better results...

in that my PT guy 

now gets what is going

on with my severe sciatic

problem...

I had a flare up after the previous

PT course of exercises--

not fun!!

I know it is a long process and

am hoping that this 

revised course of exercises

and massage and stim

will help...

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

I have been doing bits and pieces of 

sewing on my 

Falling Leaves project:

Amazing what some 15 minute

sewing sessions can achieve...

I am still cutting solid strips with

Go!Baby cutter in darker colors...

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

Meanwhile,

 we are hunkering down

for the hurricane that will 

be bearing down on us on Sunday.

We are in a hurricane warning area...

😱😥

  

The latest is that the eye of the storm

will pass right over us here on

the CT coast...

👀😵👀

We have extra gas for our generator

and extra water and food....

and are hoping for the best...

We are in an area full of towering older

trees...so if the winds are bad

we worry that the trees will

come down....

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

If I am off line for a while,

we will most likely have lost

power....

SUMMER DAYS and THANKS, EM ;)))

 

"SUMMER DAYS"

is now a flimsy

hanging in my closet

until my back will allow

me to layer up and baste

with all that involved bending over.

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

Meanwhile, continuing in my 

"Seasons'"  pieces...

Here is the start of "Falling Leaves"

["The falling leaves

drift by my window, 

the Autumn leaves

of red and gold..."

I  love that song--it

gave me the theme for

this one]

I Sub-cut String sections of 

leftover Autumnal Fabrics;

mostly, gold, yellow, browns,

oranges and 

a few light rosy colors, and

a bit of green ...

I saw this process on 

Aunt em's youtube (click)

Video--and was immediately

chasing a new squirrel...;)))

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

I had NEVER thought about

subcutting with my 

Go! Baby 

die cutter.

And, using it I was

able to do a

bit at a time 

this past week...

Here are a few sewn strip parts...

This is my "take" on Em's  quilt

so far...

↡↡↡↡↡

I am not as yet sure

how I am going

to cut and sew these

together; [they are in

sections of four and just pinned

up on my wall--]

but, for now,

I can do a bit of strip

sewing in my wonderful

lumbar pillowed sewing chair...

*;)))

[And then, do my heating pad]

👍👍👍

I have chosen graduated solid

strip colors from my stash to use

as separators for the crumbs...

¿I don't know if you can tell that the 

shorter sections' solids are a shade

darker than the longer ones..?

I am only using my stash 

for these projects...

Em also has an Etsy shop 

as well as her blog with her 

original pattern for 

doing strip sets 

like this...

Aren't they neat?  I am loving

doing this project...

😊Thank you so much Em  💗👵

I will be doing more subcutting for sure...

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

In the meantime, I have been

doing some retail therapy...

I bought a Fat 1/4 bundle

of the  "Kismet" fabric line

after seeing Pat Sloan show it off...

on her YouTube channel...

👀😳😳😳👀

[I need another set of new fabrics

like a hole in the head!!--Butttt...

this is just SO gorgeous]

A N D 

FYI for those of you who asked:

My new PT guy is so nice and

after yesterday's workout

I am only "normally sore"--

not about to go to the ER like

the time before...

So, things are looking up

here in the House on the Hill--

I hope this PT will take care of the

sciatic nerve problem...

I have seven more visits...

Thanks so much everyone for 

your good wishes...💖💖💖

mmmmmmwhaaa!!
