Sticky Note request!

How wonderful it is having The Brother Alan and Lisa here. Once they arrived and changed into Arizona clothes...shorts and sandals …. we took care of business. Yes, we bought the new refrigerator and it is arriving Friday. Then yesterday rain ( yes we did have some rain) we got the new car....

It looks like my Elantra? Well it is an Elantra but this is a 2018 SEL and the color is Scarlet Red.... with added bells and whistles. Alan took care of everything. I signed the papers. Once again the people at Larry Miller (my third time leasing there) were exceptional. Then it was off to lunch, then The Brother and Lisa went out to do a few things. Alan did a bit of work in the garden and today we get the ceiling/wall area painted for the fridge arrival. When I woke this morning and came into the kitchen to make my coffee...

I found this message in Sticky Notes across the cupboard..... think someone wants homemade bread! I guess I can do that for them. Yesterday while they were out I happened to look out of the kitchen window and saw the bunny who is spending more time in the garden, even while we were sitting on the lanai.

I took this through the window screen so excuse the bit of blur. As I was watching him watch me I saw a fluff of white elsewhere...what? could it be?

yes!--- it was another bunny and this one was nibbling on my Purple Passion plant! Two bunnies hanging around. I hope they don't start to invite more of their warren to come to the garden. A safe haven for them from the coyotes is fine with me but I did not plan to serve a daily buffet.
Not sure what today holds, but tomorrow The Brother and Lisa will go horseback riding in the morning and to lunch at one of their favorite places. I know there will be the trip into Scottsdale before they leave but plans are open.
Off to enjoy my coffee...shhhhh, they are still asleep.
Glad to chat with you. Thank you for the kind words and for your friendship. 

Today is the day!

Finally! Alan and Lisa are on their way.... departing Rhode Island at 6:05 Am or there abouts and should arrive here around 10 something. I am not too excited but here it is 2:31 AM and I was awake at 1:30... think I better make some coffee..... The temp today is still going to be high 100s but who cares.
Update to follow....

Star progress

Oh my but it is still very hot out here...the last few days have been 109 and today is already getting there. Glad I do not have any outside things to do. Well I do but they are not getting done now. I am practicing my patience and waiting.... for the most part it is working. There will be last minute cleaning on the lanai before Tuesday.
I was asked about making the beaded stars... yes, the beads are tiny...very tiny and can be costly so I try very hard not to loose then on the carpet. Really need to put in wood flooring in the house.

When working with just 2 colors I just lay out the sections and work it that way. When working a pattern, I take a different approach. I lay out strips of felt on my bead tray and then sort each row out in order and then bead. The pictures shows a one row plan.

I have 2 sections of 5 complete and just started the 3rd one. These are in position to zip (sew) together. I love the colors combination.
My next one; yes thinking of the next one already, will be a yellow combination. The black back round is for effect....it is a stain-glass look. This almost looks like a butterfly and there is a pattern for a butterfly...just have to remember where and who.
The car needs gas, I am at the 3 line rule. I know... but I am much better now at going to the gas station. I am just holding off so that when I go on Wednesday to the dealership I will not be bringing it in with a full tank. The Brother Alan will be talking with them about a new lease. I will have him put about $10.00 in when he arrives on Tuesday. That's right my friends, they arrive Tuesday late morning. Arrangements have been made with the shuttle company to pick them up from the airport and bring them home. I doubt this trip will have a delay return as there will be not snow storms to cancel flights.....maybe a hurricane!?
That is about it and the beading is calling to me.... glad we had time to chat. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Thank you for your friendship.
