There is a business on my fan

 Hello friends..... seems the days are here and gone quickly. Today I feel a sore throat and stuffy so it will be an easy day. Who am I kidding? Most of my days are easy and laid back thanks to Alan and Lisa. Speaking of Lisa, she is still having tests and I am sure her surgery will be next. So keep her in your thoughts.


Flies are flying in my room! As the ceiling fan rotates, the flies move about. The pattern is from Ann Wood...darn her for making so many wonderful and fun patterns.  Did you know the term for a group of flies is called a swarm...or...a business! Each fly is different of course.....I love quirky things. Just have to keep an eye on Alan with his salt rifle!

I found this pattern...can not remember where on line....and I was overwhelmed when it arrived.

It said a booklet which was only a single paper printed on both sides with minute directions. First I enlarged them to 200% and finally to 300%. All I can say is good thing I am am able to sew well.  No!)

He already is full of my sewing notions for everyday use. He is made from different parts of jeans that I saved from Dennis. I even included a few tags from the pants.  The inside bottom is a fabric I had with turtles. It has 6 pockets and I added one of the small pockets to hold my small scissors. The tail is a belt loop! Denny liked turtles...I do have a story about Denny and his turtle...another time if anyone is interested. 

Cox cable seems to be mixed up today...maybe a call to them...then again not today. Alan will be home late tonight so I will wait for him to check it out on a regular work day. I have music playing most of the day and if TV it is one of a few stations that I like....Britbox, Acorn, Amazon Prime and Freevee to name a few.
Today maybe be the start of July Sue banner...right now swishing and fluffing is happening in the laundry area. 

On a sad note, my friend Glenda has lost her fight with cancer on Sunday June 4th. She never gave up. Thoughts for husband Don ....

Happy to chat with you today. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Thank you for your friendship.

Love the flies and turtle - you got a veritable zoo at your house! My grandma loves turtles and tortoises as well, so I'd love to hear Dennis' turtle story some time.
Sorry to hear about your friend, my thoughts are with you.
