Homespun, Seriously

this morning

I needed to move this chest

 it was so heavy...

 forgotten what it was filled with

oh seriously...

I thought I'd used all the homespuns

making those woven placemats with mom! 

looks like a lot of bundles of homespun

to sell soon

 *****

tomorrow the truck is coming to pick up

for the new

St Vincent dePaul thrift store 

opened in Youngstown

furniture, clothes, household goods

out the door

win~win

Happy Thursday

it's a little dreary, a little rainy

who cares?

I'm on vacation again

 

 

An In Between Project

I recently sent a few blocks

to a blogger collecting them for

Quilts of Valor

they were stitched pretty quickly for me

since all work is done by hand

deadlines and I don't get along

it got me thinking

about the fabric in my stash

that might never get used

mostly because I'm not a navy fan

but for Americana blocks it's a different story

slow stitching RW&B blocks

for veterans will be a breeze 

as I go through the stash

organizing by color

I've been cutting out Evening Star blocks

setting the patches in a box

to be stitched when time allows



I always like to have some mindless stitching

ready for spare minutes...

do you do that too?

seems I can't bear to just sit with idle hands





Hooking and Quilting

these pumpkins were for sale on eBay

a few years ago...

I don't remember who the seller was...

though I've hooked some myself

these are still my favorites

I'm almost finished with the giveaway rug

soon to start some small fall items 

with pumpkins galore!

This stencil is on my eBay watch list...

considering it for hand quilting

many of my little quilts

I know I could draw my own stipple pattern

but will I?

After x rays, tapping and probing 

it looks like my sinuses are causing the pain

started on antibiotics yesterday

now I

 no longer feel like poking myself in the eardrum

with a pointy stick...

rarely do I have sinus issues 

so no netty pot...

will look in to one just in case

 thanks for your warm thought and good ideas
