WEDNESDAY'S WALL

 

Here are my current projects...

My log cabins,

(3 more to make of these)

my blue charms, 

Autumn charms, and the new

pavement blocks on the 

far right....

Here is a closer look

at the newest scrappy 

stash-busting for

chunks  pavement blocks:

↴↴↴↴

I am using up a mix of:

yellows, pinks, 

and greens for these.

They are another really 

fun block to make...

:)))

I saw them on Cathy's 

"Sane and Crazy" blogspot

and wanted to make some...

[like right away!!]

👀😆👀

In re-organizing my stash--

[which now has been interrupted

yet again by making another 

new-to-me block !!:))) ]

--hahaha--

I came across those green

Jan Patek fabric leftovers,

and some gifted pinks, 

and my small yellow

chunks leftovers...

I have never done this color combo before

so we shall see how they turn out...

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

And here we all are at the

SUMMER SOLSTICE

already....

Here is my DIL and my two grands--

Fiona (L) and Willa (R)

enjoying these fleeting Summer days...

and here is my son Jeff

(can you tell he just finished

teaching for the year??)

Happy times with family outings

and many more ahead...

They all visited on Father's Day

and we had a lovely time of it;

plus my daughter also came down

to join us...

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

We are hoping to have a BBQ get-together

in July...everyone is checking the schedule..

Ahhhh

"summertime summertime

sum-sum-summertime"

Oh yes!!

;)))

SUNDAY'S "SLEIGHT OF HAND" (or is it a foot?)

 

Some of my big stash of charms

did a 

"Presto-Change-o"

into these

I've never made "Disappearing

Four Patch" blocks before....

and have discovered that

I like the process...

I have a stack of 20 to 

sew a bit at a time...

The top one above was my first try

and I used a different method 

to the bottom two..

I prefer the easier for me 

bottom "switcheroo-ing"

:)))

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

I still have a big pile of 

to be sewn on either side

to also make. 

So, I will have two 

different types of blocks

to work on just using my

charms...

💙😉💜

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

this late morning we went for a 

Walk on the boardwalk on

the Connecticut River;

it was VERY windy, but

beautiful all the same.

Unfortunately, (sigh),

I tripped and my bad leg

(the sciatic one)

gave way and I landed

on that knee and hand...

I wrenched everything!!!

😓😨😰😭

I am resting now and hoping

that it won't set me back

from walking too long...

Tom looked where it happened and

there was a big hole 

that was hidden by the 

long grass.  

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

Earlier this morning I made us

 minnestrone soup for supper.

So I won't have to stand

and cook tonight--

a good thing, right??

I hope you can get outside and 

enjoy this lovely day...

Hugs, Julierose
