Gratitude Wednesday.

 That's right...Gratitude for many things today.  

It was another wonderful day in the sewing room.  First, it's gratitude for Cyndi's generosity.  She made beautiful cloth bags for her business.  Her basement rooms were full of fabric.  I was in awe of the variety of patterns.  When she and her husband moved to N. Carolina to be nearer to their children I was the recipient of her generosity.  Thank you Cyndia.  She worked with me at Cherry Tree El. School.  

                                            Wild and crazy.  Some of Cyndi's fish fabric.  

This week, I have had what musicians call worms crawling through our heads.  Not real worms for sure but songs that are hard to purge. They just play all the time.   The latest worm is Make Me A Servant sung as a response after prayer time each Sunday.  It mentions lifting those who are weak.  My bib-making work reminds me of mothers who are struggling with baby responsibilities. I'll keep on keeping on with the worm.  The goal now is 100 bibs and I'm getting nearer.  That's one hundred babies matching their bib.  Blessings on them.  And there will be fabric left over!  I guess there will be more bibs. 

The other lifting relates to health.  Lifting those who cannot lift themselves or would like help with lifting.  That includes family and friends who are experiencing heavy loads.  Make me a servant.  

                                                Another cute little crocus. This time it's YELLOW. 

This week has been warm and warmer.  Last night at the drugstore children with no coats was the norm.  Their bodies were bouncing about almost flying.  Freedom is what they were telling me.  Of course they were with their dads who were in shorts.  I must admit...I was coatless also.  


                        This is one way of getting 50 candles on a cake.  Rather unique I would say.

It's back to the S Machine for a while.  I have an idea!

    I hope Kimmy was standing by with a hose in case the fire got out of control.

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having
