Sewing

Finally Arizona is cooling down...no more 100s I hope.  Yesterday was a day of winds...the chimes were singing all day and Murphy was happy to chase leaves around the garden.

We have been busy, This pair of pillowcases are the latest that Lisa made. She has come a long way. Lisa completely assembled and sewed these on her own. She is still leery of cutting to measurement...I think it is the rotary cutter! but that is just fine. Alan does not want any cut fingers.

I have also been at the machine...

This is a gift that will soon be on it's way. The fabric flower is on a pin so it can be removed if washing the travel pillowcase.  I tried to make it soft in color. 

This is a special item going with the gift but I will show it after it is received. It was fun to make and embellish with each item having a purpose.

Have you seen the Dammit Dolls?????

I decided to make a few...this is the only one so far... and the poem is attached. If Dammit is not a word you use....Darn it will do! Today is make ornament day...I found one to try so this hopefully will work out. If so, you will see it soon. I guess you have noticed a creative slow down for me recently. What I can say is that I finally feel that I can get back to creating, slowly but getting there. Why you ask...who knows. Feeling down some days and preoccupied on others. 

Sis Lyn called to say the the nursing facility where mom, EvaP was for some years is holding a memorial service for her this week on the 11th for the staff and patients who knew her. Unfortunately no outsides due to Covid restrictions. She received good care there. Her name will be added to a special plaque they have for any patient who passed because of  the Coronavirus. Again Alan, Lyn Lisa and I appreciate your kind notes regarding her passing. 

Nice to chat with you today. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your friendship. Time to join Alan to watch football.
