Wednesday.

 First...I'm happy to report that my back is behaving today.  No tantrums.  Simply said it's just being an old back today.  Yesterday's comment about Goodwill was all about doing something different rather than sitting at the sewing machine.  I thought it would help but little did I know that sitting while driving must be the same as sitting at the sewing machine.  But today was a much better back day.  It's tired but it doesn't hurt.  Thank you, Jesus.


This morning's wordle didn't go so well.  There were too many rhyming words.  I stuck to the crossword until I GOT it.  And then it was, yup, sewing time.  I added 10 bibs to yesterday's 5 and all have been through all the sewing steps and are ready for buttons and button holes.  That comes tomorrow.  My major purchase yesterday of 3.99 plus tax is working well.  

                                       A  good use for my gourd bowls made a few years ago.  

I spent time today doing a little organizing of materials.  There is a container of plain strips now and a container of strips with design. I'm surprised how helpful that simple change in organizing makes bib-making easier.  You would have thought I would have figured that out a long time ago.  


I would say it was another gray day.  I guess one needs those to really appreciate the sunny days.  The Michigan kids had a snow day today.  Olive is giving them a hard time.  They have a lot of cloudy days but at least they have a white season as opposed to our brown season.  I had fun texting Eli.  He received a snowman challenge again and I never heard back.  I asked for pictures.  They didn't appear either.  I think he blew me off.  I probably earned that.

There will be a little TV watching tonight and time with my library succulent books again.  The outdoor California pictures are beautiful.  The sewing sweatshop is closed until 9 tomorrow..

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
