Tonight's photos show my balloon flowers...one when it is still in ballon stage and then the other when the balloons have "popped"/opened. Right now they are in full bloom in one of the gardens...very pretty to see all the bluey-purple color interspersed in that garden. Speaking of gardens, Melany is coming in the morning to do more weeding. I have worked some more on getting things put away upstairs and have made some fairly good progress. There are a lot of little knit picky things to do when putting/finding a place for thee items...for example I had some photo prints that needed to be put in the Christmas scrapbooks...these I needed to find what year they were from and then I just slipped the enveloope next to the page where they belonged. Then there were the shirts from Woody's work that I had used for ornaments last Christmas. Well...I still haven't made the stitched pieces into the ornaments for Melany and Wade and Nathan and Kathy. So I really don't need to keep the whole shirts that I was using but needed to be sure that I saved plenty to complete the ornaments. I also used some of the buttons from the shirts when I finished the other ones so I clipped off more buttons that I would need for these. Like I said...lots of little details that I needed to do before I could clear off the space that the shirts were taking up. The leftover pieces of the two shirts have met file 13 and I have a nice neat stack of stitched pieces that are waiting to made into ornaments along with some of the things I will need to finish them. I will be adding the stitched ornaments that I have completed in the last week or so to that pile. There were some papers that I needed to file...did that. Anyway, I am well underway...now to complete the "project" before I start piling more things on the table!!! I really do want to use my cutting table for its real purpose...cutting out patterns...because I really want to get back to sewing. Speaking about patterns, I learned today that all the major names in pattern making...McCalls, Simplicity, Butterick, Vogue...will no longer be making patterns as they have been sold to a liquidator...hard to believe that they will no longer "be!" They have a loooooong time in history been there for us sewers...but no longer. I am glad that I have a pretty good stash of patterns that I can continue to use. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
