BUTTERFLY # 5, E et al

 

Purple Butterfly...(#5)

Begun

The circles are a dark purple

although the stitches look black

here....

Here is the Valdani 

thread I used...

I was able to sit out on the deck for an hour 

stitching right after noon

time as it got warmer than it has been.

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

AND...

My hydrangea is turning rosey/beige.

I just love this color....

I will be trimming the hydrangea back again this

Fall as look at how it grew back!!↡↡↡↡

Like gangbusters!!;)))

Loving these floppy, mop heads...

Sooo pretty...

Dawn at "relaxingrobin.blogspot.com"

[I could not get the link to work!!] 

suggested that I make a

wreath with the flower heads...

She is SO crafty....;)))

I would love to try that...💕

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

We are planning to have a fence installed 

to screen us from the neighbors' Big old, rusty Blue bus 

and

just a whole lot of junk left out

in their yard ...

We have a couple of fence installers coming

to give us an estimate today and

tomorrow...

We are aiming for 7 feet...

As you can see, their yard is RIGHT off of our tv room;

and during three seasons when those leaves come

down and the underbrush dies back, 

all we can see are old boxes, and trash...

Not a very inspiring view......

I hope we can get it installed before all that foliage

dies back...

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

For this past week I have been experiencing 

"Quiltus Interruptus"

I got an SOS from my DIL that

Willa  and Fiona are in 

desperate NEED

of SNACK BAGS

for school...

So I made 5 for each...

[ I forgot to take photos before I wrapped and

sent them off this afternoon...];000

We had Cats & Sushi fabric, 

Telephones and cartoons,

Owlets and snow fabric

And Ghastlies with roses

(the last for Halloween time

or those days when they are feeling

super "Crabby" ) hahaha

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

So that has been my week....

I am not that adept at making small items like these and

it took me quite a while to get going...

but, they got done;)))

I hope your week has gone well..

Tomorrow is

TGIF

Even though we are retired, we still

love Fridays...;)))👴👵

RAIN AT LAST and USE IT UP

  

                                MY  HYDRANGEA LIKED THE SATURDAY RAINS.....

                                                   and....WE SO NEEDED THIS RAIN...

                                                   Blooming....

These will turn a pink-ey bronze at the Fall arrives--I hope to dry them for Winter...

**********************************************************************************************
And on the "Use It Up" front:

Here are the leftover blocks from my Paris wall hanging...
this will be a 
table topper...

I have decided not to put these away--(leftovers) ---but just keep on 
making blocks until these strings are gone or there are  not enough big 
pieces to make these 6" blocks below............

The dark blue in the basket and the lights in the little empty Upton Tea box
are the only blue and light strings I have on hand....

I spent most of Saturday sorting out the other colors and bagging them up..
Enough already--no more storage...

The little container on the top right holds really small pieces that I cannot use
on these blocks...I hope to sew some "made" fabric with them and thus not have 
anything leftover...no orts, sports ;))))
********************************************************
Severe humidity today feels like 109 here...unheard of...
hurray for AC..!!!
