Design Wall Monday
I took last week off from posting so this is catch up time. I realized I needed to concentrate on getting doggy bandanas made. Finished up 62 holiday bandanas. They will be split between Lisa’s grooming shop in CA. and the rest will go to our sister in law Donna for her church bazaar early November. Made 3 sizes- medium, small and a few tiny ones. This photo is a sampling. Lisa will be getting the Fall ones along with Christmas. Rest of the Christmas will go to Donna. They are fun to make and help get rid of my way to much fabric stash!
Now that they are ready to send off I got back to my Pulsar blocks. I have had clue 1 done for a while. The fabric was cut for #2 but I needed to learn how to use the speciality ruler- the half rectangle trim tool from Creative Grids. Took watching the u- tube video by Deb Heatherly a few times. Got out the Scrap fabric and got it figured out.
Since I knew what the next clues were I wanted to see a few done
And then I had to try a block from #4
Clue 5 is also out. I think I should be totally caught up by the big reveal!!!! For me that would be a switch! I tend to get the tops made after the fact! I am going to like this one and all fabric is from home! Guess it was a good thing I have been sorting my fabrics. Would not have thought of using some of my Asian fabrics.
We are still having 90+ degree days. Austin had 100 yesterday and Waco north of us broke an all time record 104. If the daily forecast is right today and tomorrow are our last days in the 90’s. But I will believe that when it happens. Of course we need rain. Burn bans are everywhere.
I did freshen up several of our planters last week as well as getting several hanging baskets. I also picked quite a few cubanelle peppers. They are a sweet pepper with a little heat. Also called Cuban Peppers. I have been using them when I make the Mississpi Pot Roast or pork roast. They add good flavor to an omelet. We have 2 plants but one has been very productive.
Still see an occasional hummingbird at our feeders so I will leave them up until the end of the month. The Monarchs have been feeding on our Mexican Sunflowers along with a few other butterflies as they migrate south. Galen took this picture on 10/2 of this year.
I was surprised to see some Rain Lilies blooming by our one Live Oak. These came with the house 25 years
