Well, I finished the next block….I think.

It was supposed to have a butterfly between the trees, but I’m not a fan of butterflies so I put a little bird there instead. It turned out looking more like a duck. 😂 I’m definitely not loving this. That duck/bird might need to fly south.

I’ll think about that while I work on the next block. it’s supposed to look like this.

But of course, I had to start with smaller blocks than what was recommended, so that won’t all fit.

I’ll add the scissors first, then add the hands on either side. They will be at a different angle than the pattern so they fit. I’m not sure I will add the hearts. I’ll decide later.

Have a great day!

I visited this place last winter, but forgot about it this year. Until today. I was driving past and decided to stop.

This is like stepping back in time. They have fabric….

And crafty stuff…

And so much more. I can’t remember the last time I saw aprons like this in a store.

They have a whole aisle for hats.

Lots of kitschy souvenirs.

And you can even pick up your granny panties here! 😂

They have a little bit of everything. I haven’t seen a variety store like this in decades.

No snow globes in the desert, just sand.

I did get some great fabric. Here is my haul.

I’ll definitely be back.

Have a great day!

All my rectangles are sewn together. I had more than I thought!

I started making four patches, in between some secret sewing.

Then I had to try out my idea to see how it would look. I added triangles to the four patches to make these.

Time to try it out.

The plan was to have alternating rows.mill probably need to make a few more rows before I’m sure about this.

Have a great day!

I’ve made a fair amount of progress on my leader/ender project. I started by piecing them into pairs, then into foursies.

Now I have six 80 inch strips. I have enough bits for one more row and maybe two.

I’ve got a plan here, but for now, I need to start piecing from this bin of 2 1/2 inch squares.

I so love having these bins of pieces all cut and ready to sew!

Have a great day!

I finally finished this block for the Ladies Aid BOM.

I’m still behind, but this is what I have done so far.

The block on the lower left is next up. The trees are back basted and ready for applique. The pattern showed a butterfly between them. I’m looking for something else to put there instead.

I hope I can share another finished block next week. Have a great day!

I found the best tablecloth at Goodwill this week. How cute is this?

I also worked on washing some windows this week. I have quite a way to go with that project.

I’ve been riding my bike a few times a week. I’m still very much a beginner, but I rode it to my Bible study on Tuesday.

I had a couple of these boxes show up wth is week. So fun!

We have oranges! Well, they are still pretty tiny…

And isn’t this beautiful?

I love driving through the older neighborhoods in Sun City. They have such great cacti! I did see two coyotes run past me in one though. It was 10:30 in the morning! Crazy. I was too stunned to take a picture.

Have a great day!
