Sparkling ribbon....

 Hard to believe it has been cool these past few nights and days. Happy to have the 100s in the past. The high country is getting snow and they are very happy. So what is new around here?

We bought a new printer.... the other still works but we needed an upgrade. As soon as I get familiar with the settings things will be great. Alan seems to be back to a regular schedule which means we have dinner together.  Guess there really is nothing new!

Put these ornaments together but need to get beads. I know, you would think with a cupboard full of beads I would have some. Problem is they are all too small. This Thursday Lisa is off and we will be off...to Hobby Lobby or Michaels for beads. 

Next up is a Christmas pillowcase for my bed. All fabric is ready just need to sew. 

I posted this picture before, but this is the fabric. I will swap out one of the pillowcases for this one. There is one I am not overly fond of. Since I have different fabrics on the bed I will only make for the holidays now. The other thought is to make the small travel size...decisions!

Guess that about covers it. Glad to have you stop by. I am still try to catch up reading the blog list. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your friendship.
Murphy is in an uproar...the landscapers are here and they are right outside my bedroom window....it is a ceiling to floor window... and he is going nuts. Must rescue the guy outside so he can finish his raking.......

Before I go....there is someone dear to me who could use a prayer or two...good thoughts please. 🙏

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.
