About Me

I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

WHILE HELGA'S AWAY.... et al

 

....the shop vac will play...
{you can enlarge and see my little
kitty cat wall hanging there;}

Tom helped me to move all the 
tables, bins, baskets, etc.
aside and he is using our Shop Vac to 
deep clean my sewing room...

Above is the "little lady" whose suction is
strong enough to pick up errant
pins and slivers of fabric, too...;)))

Even those closet door trims are getting
a "going over"!! Tom is nothing if not
thorough 😊👲👳👴!!!
I attribute that to his Army Days...
He is also a super suitcase packer...

Helga won't recognize the place 
when she arrives home from her
"Spa Treatment". ;)))))
So "spic and also span"!!

********************************
MEANWHILE....
I have been working on 
"Lollipop Flowers"

The basket is quilted in a matching blue to the 
surrounding stitches..

and I am
moving onto the first  bottom border
Using cream perle 8 cotton thread...

I have quite a long journey to finish
the hand quilting
on this one....
Figuring out thread colors should prove
interesting...

**************************
Tonight we will be having a lighter
supper:
BLT's and a few french fries
on the side...
[after my week of a whole
lot of cooking including lasagna and 
chicken and rice casserole--both
of which are labor intensive...]

Hugs, Julierose
