It was a placidity twenty-four hr menses at habitation yesterday...almost besides placidity because I don't intend I got out of my pajamas until around noon. In fairness, I did some housework inward that time. We were inward a cloud hither at the Three Cats Ranch yesterday. It was bright, but misty amongst fog. The kitties were happy to lead maintain a morn spent generally outside.
Which agency are the mousies, Smitty?
The best hunting is this direction, Sadie. I flora a tasty gopher over hither a few days ago.
Whatever yous say, Smitty. I'm amongst you. We're best friends. Isn't that right, Smitty?
As usual, Sadie is the blur inward the photo.
When they came in, they realized they'd missed out on some sewing.
What's going on here? Sewing? I'll telephone telephone a confurrence.
Smitty, Mom wants to know whether to cutting the blood-red fabrics furrst or the dark as well as white fabrics.
My prefurrance is for dark as well as white. It most closely resembles my furrs.
Okay, Smitty, but when orangish comes up, as well as then I'm going to insist on orange.
But, of course, I don't accept orders from cats, although I'm told at that topographic point are some cats across town who are spoiled as well as ever instruct their way. Molly as well as Buddy are holy terrors inward the sewing room, ordering their staff around as well as paying paltry wages. Even equally difficult equally their staff works, they nonetheless chose a stone equally employee of the year. It must move hence furrustrating.
As for the sewing hither at the Three Cats Ranch, I sewed together the start blocks for the Paintbox Pizzazz quilt. First, I made the "pinwheels."
Then I used the flip as well as sew together method to sew together dark as well as white corners to each one.
And those are finished. The 2 blocks for the Charm Stars were made yesterday.
Those are my 2 quilts for this years Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I realized I'm going to lead maintain to remake the block I made for the start Tiny Tuesday. If I'm remembering correctly, I trimmed it to 4-1/2 inches, as well as it's supposed to move v inches. I'll remake that 1 today as well as and then instruct busy amongst the minute Tiny Tuesday, released today. Also, I've had minute thoughts nigh doing them inward random colors. I intend I'll instruct along amongst the color of the month.
When my blocks were finished, I got out for a walk. It was a overnice day, fifty-fifty if nosotros did pass the twenty-four hr menses inward a cloud. I wishing I had some to a greater extent than interesting things to demo you, but I'm afraid it's a pretty dead landscape right now. The most interesting affair on yesterday's walk were the dew drops on the fir trees.
These pictures don't actually capture the magic. They sparkled similar diamonds inward the sun.
Also yesterday, I finished off the turkey stock from the twenty-four hr menses before. The yield was three 1/2 quarts.
The total quarts went into the freezer, as well as I made Butternut Squash Soup amongst Apple & Bacon amongst the partial. I had some butternut mash left from terminal summer's CSA share. It was a skilful twenty-four hr menses for a hot soup.
Today there's laundry to do. I'm going to instruct caught upwards on the Tiny Tuesday blocks, as well as and then I intend I'll instruct going quilting the Going Bananas quilt for Quilts for Kids.
This quilt looks slap-up amongst simply a diagonal grid, as well as hence I'll practise that. Quilts for Kids requests a auto binding, as well as hence it's simply possible I'll complete this upwards today. It's a nasty twenty-four hr menses outside. This mightiness move a twenty-four hr menses to purpose the treadmill if I'm going to arrive my 10k steps.
