END OF SEPTEMBER

Just discovered I somehow deleted last weeks post! It’s there now. Good thing I have been copying to my old blog site! Not sure if I will keep this one going once it’s time for renewal. That is months away so have time to think about it.

We are still having some hot weather and the forecasted rain rarely comes. We did get 2 tenths on Wednesday. That was a far cry from what accu-weather said. According to our weather station that is all we have had in September. Not good.

We got out one morning. Not much flying. A nice drive though. And we tried a new place for lunch on Wednesday. We have so many new places opening up in the past 6 months. We need to try more of them.

Galen has been in the Rio Grande valley this past weekend. Gets home today. Over 200 pictures to go through and edit! I know what he will be doing over the next few days. I finished up the first batch of Halloween and Fall Dog bandanas for my friend’s 2 salons. Want to get the ones in the mail foe California by the end of the week.

More are in the works.

I managed to bind one of the quilts I got back the other week. Started to work on another one bit haven’t finished it yet. This one if I remember is a Merry Mayhem one day mystery quilt from several months ago. I really need to double to double check that.

You can see my Amaryllis. They have really started to grow again. Some of the bulbs are 4 years old. They stay out year round on the deck. If we get a heavy frost or the occasional freeze we cover them up. Only brought them inside the winter we had the really bad week of snow and ice and yes no electricity. Think 2021!!

That’s all for now. Just heard from Galen he should be home in another hour. Need to get busy! Hope everyone has a good week.

  Design Wall Monday I hope everyone enjoying the Memorial Day holiday remembers why we celebrate this day.. Last week ended up being busier than planned. But I was able to work more on my blocks. This may end up being a table square or a table runner. Played a little bit the blocks. Not sewn together just playing with layout. I have more HSTs  made. And some others ready to be made into blocks. Didn’t get to meet up with Osie last week.  Hopefully we can get together later this week. And needo get busy on more doggie bandanas. Plan to spend lots of time bonding with my machine!!   poodlegirls     Daily Happenings ,  General Sewing ,  Life at home ,  Quilting ,  Uncategorized   Leave a comment     May 26, 2025   1 Minute

  Day Late-Design Wall Monday The best laid plans don’t always happen!! A day late but then considering I haven’t posted since late May……. Early in June my body said enough already, take a break, get some sleep. So that’s what I did. Sinuses and or allergies made sure I listened. At 78 I have found when the body says stop already it pays to listen! I did get the Alice in Wonderland quilt bound. It is one the way to CA. Backed it with a cute cuddle piece of fabric. I managed to start another quilt top. Was putting things away and decided instead of putting this one away I should start it. I had a Laurel Birch jelly roll plus my contrast fabric put aside for Donna Jordan’s Diamond Trip top. Diamond Trip is a free pattern on Jordan Fabrics website. With July 4th rapidly approaching it was time to work on more doggie bandanas for both La Mia Bella dog salons. While I was cutting I did more everyday ones as well. Finished up 80 on Sunday. Various sizes-medium which our Lady wears, ...

  Mother’s Day 2025 First off Happy Mother’s Day.  Being a dog Mom Lady wished me a happy day. Not sure what made me think of this. Many years ago- mid to late 50’s into early 60’s we almost always spent Mother’s Day by going shad fishing! We would get up early in the morning,  Mom would pack a lunch, load up Dad’s aluminum boat on to the car top carriers and we would drive to Port Deposit, MD.  Spend the day on the water fishing on the Susquehana River.  Sometimes we caught shad, sometimes not. Mom was always very careful when she fileted them- very boney.  I had not thought about that in a very long time. We were lucky and had rain earlier this week. Up to 6.66 inches for the year.   Get to keep the irrigation system off for another week. Galen was out last Sunday with a friend.   They went to an are near San Antonio.  He did get some nice pictures.  Comanche Skimmer.       Golden Cheek Warbler P...
