MUTED MONDAY (well almost)



                                                         May 4th's block-a-day....
                          [overcast skies again,,,= muted photos ;000)

MAY RSC Hunt:
I dug into my scraps and only could find "Christmas" dark greens....

So I pulled those, and I decided to make some free-cut Christmas
dresdens next...(Actually, I was wondering if I would even get 
any out of those  pieces, but managed 3 little ones)
                                                  ↧↧↧↧
                    As you can see there is very little dark green-- 
but I feel that with such a dark color 
a little can go a LONG way....

                  I co-opted some leftover charm squares and my
                    favorite Jason Yenter leftover prints for the 
                      dresdens...and the two larger circle
                        centers.  I added reds and golds to fill
                            out those few dark dark greens...

                     The background script fabric contains 
                                 all Holiday words--
                      I only had a smallish piece of that 
                                   and had to make
                          two hangings as it wasn't all that long
                                 or wide enough to place all 
                                        3 on one piece.....

This way, I will have the larger one for my cocktail table and the 
smaller matching one for my glass top table in my living room...

For now....
These are just pinned in place ready for appliqueing tomorrow...

                        I am calling these "Joyeux Noel"

N>B>So much for "muted", right????

What a blatherskite I am.....;000 

["yakkety yak, don't talk back" hahaha now that 
song will be running 
through your head today ...
You're welcome ;)))]

Thom took us for a country backroads' ride after lunch...
The first time we have been out except for grocery shopping
since March 10th....
it was really weird--
roads practically
empty, cars in driveways, 
eerie feeling...
but it was good to  get out even though 
I really was a bit anxious about going...

We had our masks at the ready and our gloves--just in case
we had to stop for some reason...
the car battery was SO low--
we motored about one hour to help to charge it up.
