We have rain! Glorious, sweet smelling rain! I can't wait to get out and walk in it later this morning.
Yesterday was Seahawks
, and cutting fabric for Lemur. Lots of cutting for this baby! Today - more cutting. I hope to get it all cut and maybe even have time to sew a block. Nothing else is on the calendar. Lord help me but yesterday I ordered Eliz Hartman's butterfly pattern, too. I'll make it for Sammy, Autumn's mentoree, for her 18th birthday next May - or maybe for Christmas 2024. We'll see how things go.BECCA - I bet it's fun to watch all those squirrels! I've seen our big grays running around the yard, getting ready for winter. Love them! Our yard is a nature show. Last night we had a possom.
LORI - how did the birthday evening go? Sounded like yummily! And yes, that's a word. I just used it. I'm sorry your Camaro was stolen - and so many times! My DBIL has a purple Camaro about that vintage. He's had it for many years, restored it, and takes it to car shows in CO and SD. He keeps it in a garage in his back yard that you can only get to by driving through the front garage. But he's had 3 other vehicles stolen from street parking in front of their house, all recovered, re-stolen, and recovered again.
TINA - Happy birthday to your sweet DDIL! Oooh, new furniture! I wanna see when you have it! What style is it? How many will it seat? You often have quite a crowd! I would like a new dining room set, too, but so far we haven't seen anything we like and there's nothing wrong with our 30-yr-old set. We only use it for actual dining about 8 times a year and then just for company. But we do plan to get a new couch for downstairs family room, and two occasional chairs for upstairs living room, and say sayonara to our two white & floral 23 yr old loveseats. But probably not until next spring. If we bought it now, we'd come home after the winter in Texas and be shocked that someone stole our furniture and left new stuff in it's place! lol!
CAROL - It's amazing how much cleaner the kitchen looks when you remove everything from the counters and wash behind it all. I like to do that, too. I just did it last week when the toaster oven moved in.
Ooh, the rain is really coming down hard now! Love listening to it! Foxy and I are out on the deck, snug and dry, but it's raining so hard that Foxy's ears are flattened as he listens. I think he wants to go out to his favorite flower bed, but is trying to wait out the rain.
We have some steak left from the last two nights so today I'm going to dice it up with potatoes and onions and make pasties and salad. That will be the last of our leftovers and we'll be on to new food tomorrow.
What's going to steam up your kitchen tonite?
I didn't want to point it out to you since you're doing so many, I figured you didn't need me to "help" you find a "next project " LOL
