We’ re enjoying the holidays. Eric and I went for eye appointments this morning….I’m getting older—so are my eyes. But thanks to Rene Descartes I just upgrade the contact lenses.
I haven’t updated lately. Here is my ironing board cover I made. I returned about three different ones. I never found one that fit my ironing board, so I made it myself. The blue and white checks go great with my yellow and blue sewing room.
I wanted to sew last night. I didn’t want to spend hours picking out the fabric or days studying the pattern. I had a ribbon-tied kit from about a year ago. I just wanted to cut and sew.
Chelsey asked, “Who’s this for?”
My response,” Me… just me…”
“It’s not your colors..”
“So, I’ll tea-dye it…”
Sometimes you just need to treat yourself. When I bought it, the colors looked like ice cream, or jelly beans… I’m showing off the back—because I’m bragging, plain and simple. Truthfully the backs of my quilt Very seldom look like this so ‘one has to bask in the moments’.
When my folks came for a visit this summer, my Mom brought me a grocery bag full of bird’s nests.
I save them—poor birds hide their homes from me. I’ve decorated my tree with them, raffia and pinecones.
A bird’s nest is one of the purest forms of art. Made by a creature without hands--- Silly to some… but I marvel at them.
Both kids are home—as a Mom, I’m in heaven.
