Thursday.

 Today was gray and rainy.  Outside was not conducive to walks in the garden or anything else.

               A regular visitor.  An old picture but probably the same bird. The family is quite large.
 

The early morning produced another bib.  Then breakfast...Eric to Nora and Andrew to school.  Then things slowed down.  Kat usually does the school drive but she needed help this morning.  I'm happy to do that.  This morning I had Andrew all to myself on the 12-minute drive.  That's fun. 


The sewing machine stayed busy for most of the day although there were breaks along the way.  That's a good thing.  I found rubber ducky fabric and those 4 bibs are so cute.  Makes me smile when I think of them.  Four babies first words might be quack, quack. 

Supper tonight was warmed-over soup and cornbread.  Easy does it when I'm sewing.  We've done a lot of easy does it's lately.  

The number of bibs continues to move upward and onward.  I'm in the nineties now aiming toward the 100 mark for Goodwill's early childhood program.  I found a couple of yards of flannel mixed in with other fabric so there will be more burp cloths.  I should change my fabric tune and work on burp cloths for a day.  


More cute flannel. 

Another quiet evening at home on what once was choir night.  I'll let them do the work.  Yes...it's work.

    Lela,
    Love these fabrics! Wish I had the desire and know-how to sew like you. You make it look easy and it's for a great cause! My crocus are up too. Sticks and branches all over the yard -- particularly in back. Succulents doing great in the greenhouse and the pond plants are emerging in the aquarium.
    No special birds here but a big jar of grape jelly is awaiting the Baltimore's return.
    I think you are single handedly keeping JoAnne's going....way to support small business!...SJ

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...

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

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 s...

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer....
