sky and the temperature is hovering around 90F. So,
why am I inside? I should be outside playing instead
of inside sewing.
But I did get out early this morning before the sun
peeked over the mountain top. I went for a walk
then came home, hopped on my bike and rode
around the neighborhood adding a couple of more
miles. Really enjoyed the combination and think
I'll try it again tomorrow morning.
Had good intentions to do some early morning yard
work, but decided since I forgot to turn the
sprinkling system off and everything was wet,
that it would be a sewing day instead. Yard work
can be done this evening.
Finished all the "shoo fly" blocks for blocks 2
and 3 of the Vignette Mystery Quilt and sewed them
together. Labeled the extra ones and bagged them for
use later on.
Finished the second Hocuspocusville Halloween
house and started the third one. These are so
addicting---especially since I no longer
have to trace them!
Think dinner will be eaten outside on the patio this
evening since I've been cooped up in my sewing
room all afternoon and haven't had a chance to
visit with my hummingbirds and robins that
visit my yard daily.
The other day while sitting on the patio reading,
one little hummingbird flew over and hoovered
near me. Never had one come so close before.
I could reached out and touched it. It was rather
exciting. Too bad I didn't have a camera handy.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

Hi Nola!
ReplyDeleteOh, I've had the best time just checking out your last few posts! You are such a busy lady! Great looking bike!
I love the cute little tissue holders - maybe I will get brave and attempt one... :0) My granddaughter took a 4-H sewing class, and she has done so well. She keeps asking me to show her how to do things, but I think she knows more than I do! She did find my stash of fabric last week, and before I knew it had several pieces picked out to do a cute nine-patch pillow!
I love the Halloween stitching, so cute, and coming up very (too) soon.
I also loved the picture of you in a mud puddle! Don't you just love to look back on old pictures . . . always seems like yesterday to me.
The weather here has been beautiful - warm days and cool nights, I'm loving it, just wish I could slow down a little.
Hugs,
Barb
I really need to follow your good example and take an early morning walk or bike ride.
ReplyDeleteLoved your art work and your quilting.
The morning and evenings are such a weather delight. Maybe tomorrow night we will have dinner on our patio; or if my husband stays home tomorrow we will have breakfast on the patio.
Keep on enjoying those moments!
I'm a new follower...why do you not have to trace your embroidery blocks any more? Have you done the tracing all ready?

Everything's looking good, Nola. I have hummers, too, but my robins have already gone. Makes me sad. Good for you for getting out of doors! If you keep it up, you're going to break out in health all over, lol!
ReplyDeleteWe had a hummingbird once come to our birdbath. It dipped it's little behind in and flew up, then dipped again. It did that three or four times then flew off. I'd never seen that before and I haven't since. It was so cool! :0)
ReplyDeleteI love your Halloween stiching so cute! I love all your projects Nola, you are so talented and they are all beautiful!
