HEAVY SEAS AHEAD...ET ALS

                                                          LONG WINDED POST
                                                                      TODAY
                                                                          :))

I have begun my ocean quilting journey..
.
I love how the white stitches look a bit like 
Shashiko stitching...and 
makes the waves look three
dimensional...

I think that I am having
more fun with this project
than I have had with any other..
;)))))

 ***********************
My son, Jeff, and his family 
are away on vacation in Northern
Maine for the week
↧↧↧↧
Here is "Lucy" sitting on a raft in the Lake 
looking at their rental home...

["Arf Arf...where did everyone go?"
Actually Jeff is sitting off to the
side in his canoe--that would be
too far for her to swim, 
just so you know ;)))]
Earlier he took her for a good run

File Under:
A tired dog is a good dog hahaha.

This morning My DIL took Lucy
for a kayak ride across the Lake...
and
the girls decided that Maine
Lake waters are pretty
cold in August:
Brrrrr, Grand-mere!!
[Willa L and
Fiona R]
They are getting so big
so fast...
Middle School this year...
already...
They are my last two "baby"
grandchildren...
my daughters' four are all
grown up in college and
working....

********************
Tomorrow, Chez Nous,
our new air conditioner will
be installed...
So far, our old one is
still pumping away--but
we notice that it is on
almost all the time...
********************
Tonight's supper will be:
Pot roast done in the
slow cooker with onions,
mashed potatoes, 
steamed carrot sticks
with a bit of dill and butter...
and applesauce on the side...

FYI: for those of you who asked...

DH goes to PT tomorrow and 
Friday this week; he is doing
a lot better with the pulled
hamstring and feels that
he can even walk farther...

Re: Gypsy Caravan Work--
I am having trouble getting started for
some reason; the shape kind of 
bothers me--silly, I know,
but there it is...so waiting until
inspiration hits to work in it.
*******************
And I am
continuing my binding journey--
Blue Squares is the latest finish...

This reverse is the last of an older
favorite of mine...
My stash of "hoarded" fabrics is being
whittled down...I want to 
"USE" them --not leave them on the shelf...

I have only two Ojos left...
But
finding
good binding fabrics for those is
pretty challenging with all those
colors--
Perhaps B&W fabrics???

If you made it to the end of this long-winded
post I congratulate you..;)))
