Since I’ve felt bogged down on several of my on-going
projects and was having trouble focusing, I decided to finish the anti-ouch
pouches I had kitted up a couple of years ago.
They are used by persons recovering from breast surgeries or biopsies
and are a community service project for our Guild. I used to make these by the dozens. When Covid lockdown occurred, several members
churned out so many that I decided to take a break. The surplus they created is beginning to
dwindle and my burn-out is cooling, so I was ready. These will be delivered to the Guild Wednesday.
Work is also progressing on my Kim McLean inspired
project. Several of the house blocks are
cut out and ready for assembly and another applique block, this one a cactus,
is prepped. Like I said in my last post,
these fabric choices are way, way out of my comfort zone.
The northern lights last week were not visible to the naked
eye in our area, but I could capture an image using the camera in my phone. If I had a bucket list, this would have been
one of its items.
I purchased some goodies from Wanda’s recent de-stash sale. I
think there may be some more aprons and hot pads in my future.
I also picked up some Christmas fat quarters from an Etsy vendor. These are Fig Tree Fabrics, which I have started collecting.
We are still having 90-degree days and my hibiscus is blooming
despite a season long battle with aphids.
It’s time to retire my humming bird feeder, no visitors to it for over a
week.
