OLYMPIC CURLING PROGRESS, et al

 

I will be working on sewing
these blocks together;
I have decided no sashing, 
just
block to block.

***************************
Also this week,
I tried improving a 6.5"
Maple Leaf block using
leftover mini charms and 
leftover chunks....
↧↧↧↧

This leaf must be ready to 
fall off the tree (ya think?)as one
of its leaves has been eaten
away by: maybe....
A squirrel??
πŸ‘€πŸ˜…
And I see that the stem 
has been also gnawed on..
(πŸ‘ΎπŸ‘Ύ)

I used this chart:
Which I found helpful...

[But, uhhh, somehow still messed it up]

I am planning on making more 
6.5" or 12.5" blocks
while
trying to work through some of
my piecing issues...so I am
not going to "correct" this
block but rather leave it to show
where I am right now...

******************************************
I found this old watercolor painting
that I made a few years ago...
"My Dancing Piano"

I had such fun working on
this one, despite my meager
drawing abilities...

I am generally feeling better
this week; so I am trying to
get in a short walk a couple
times a day...

Yesterday, I got quite a long
workout at my 
πŸ‘€ doctor's office which
is quite spread out!!

That's where I am 
this week...

Hugs, on this sunny day
