The kitties together with I headed out to fill upwards the aeroplane feeders yesterday morning. Methinks their involvement inwards filling the aeroplane feeders is non exclusively altruistic. Smitty posed for his picture. That's our Christmas tree to his left. We're getting to a identify where that tin hold out planted.
Just every bit I snapped his picture, something caught Smitty's eye.
It's but Sadie.
She dropped downwards at that topographic point for a skillful old-fashioned dust bath.
Yeah...that's what I'm talkin' about.
After I'd filled the aeroplane feeders, I pulled a few weeds from amid the strawberries. Also, I noticed the cherry love apple tree is getting its outset flowers.
Back inside, I spent some to a greater extent than fourth dimension on the Pansy Mosaic, finishing all but but a few pieces of the xanthous pansy.
Sadie took a plow at enforcing the no-flying-fabric rule.
Earlier, I'd used long together with brusk stitches to stitch upwards the pansy on the Stitch stitchery. (I wonder if there's another way to role the discussion "stitch" inwards that sentence.) I could say, the long together with brusk stitches had me itching to stitch to a greater extent than stitches on the Stitch stitchery. (Trying maxim that 5 times fast.)
All of that pretty much filled the whole day.
This beingness May 1st, it's fourth dimension to lead May's OMG. And that agency I lead maintain to brand upwards my heed betwixt ii projects. I recollect the winner volition hold out sewing the Snow Globes quilt into a flimsy. Here's a not-very-good painting exhibit of the embroidered blocks:
I lead maintain all the fabrics I require to run upwards them into a completed quilt top, together with hence that's my goal for the month. Quilting volition lead maintain to aspect until much later.
Each month, I endeavor to destination a flimsy together with also to quilt together with bind 1 of my quilt sandwiches. That said, the other projection I desire to destination inwards May, but lower inwards priority, is to quilt together with bind the Cardinal Mosaic.
It's a smaller quilt, together with hence it shouldn't lead maintain besides long. It's fourth dimension to start thinking virtually the quilts I desire to come inwards in the Oregon State Fair together with the NW Quilting Expo this fall. If I tin clit off the quilting, this 1 powerfulness hold out inwards the running.
Today I'm getting my monthly pedicure (didn't I but larn April's, like, concluding week?), together with hence I'm heading to the grocery store. That won't larn out much fourth dimension for sewing, but I'll create every bit much every bit I can. The days are getting busier for the side past times side week. Tomorrow I'll hold out on a fabric-shopping expedition, hunting for some homespun to role alongside the Guatemalan fabrics. Friday, I'll hold out walking alongside Sue. Saturday, I'll hold out cooking together with packing for a several-day getaway to Bandon, Oregon, on Sunday. There's lots to do, but the pansies volition larn their fourth dimension too. I'm actually hoping to destination it off earlier nosotros larn out on Sunday.
