It isn't quite summertime yet, but our weather condition doesn't know it. It's been warm in addition to squeamish here...windy, to live sure. The air current died downward a piffling yesterday, in addition to it wasn't every bit hot. We're expecting much the same weather condition today. I'll commencement off today watering the annuals in addition to filling the plane feeders. I'm wretched to nation some of my sunflowers didn't live the windy weather. It was truly my fault, I think. I had them loosely staked, in addition to I hollo back the necktie to a greater extent than or less the stake slid down, taking the blossom alongside it, until it's spindly piffling stalk broke off. Not to worry because I conduct hold more. I'll only supersede the broken ones, take away the stakes, in addition to pretend this never happened. You won't tell, volition you?
When I was able to brand my way to the sewing room I was lastly able to grab upwards on the Tiny Tuesday blocks. First was this Grandmother's Fan. I did mine a piffling differently than the instructions. Mine is appliqued to a whole background piece.
The side past times side i was this "block alongside no name" created past times Cynthia Bruinz. In my tiniest bluish scraps, I works life some piffling mini-charms, in addition to I used those for the lightest blues inwards the center.
Cynthia invited us to come upwards up alongside our ain bespeak this block. With coyotes on the prowl, I'm calling mine "Target Practice."
Sadie helped me brand these blocks. She kept the itty bitty bits that cruel on the flooring inwards check. They were educate to commencement flight all over the room, when Sadie took over, keeping them safely corralled.
When I pose them out for their picture, she helped flatten them out.
Eventually, I convinced her that napping would live her best way of helping, in addition to I was able to larn this picture. I conduct hold 24 blocks, piece I'm truly supposed to conduct hold 23. I'm non certain which i is non similar the others, but individual got inwards hither that doesn't belong.
Sadie tried to assist me figure it out, but eventually took refuge on the quilts-to-be-quilted pile.
After that, I started working on the Paintbox Pizzazz blocks. The one-half foursquare triangles are finished in addition to trimmed. They're pose out, but I'm non certain if this volition live the terminal configuration. I mightiness create upwards one's necessitate heed to rearrange them.
Today, I'll complete these off, in addition to and therefore I'll movement to the upstairs where Eliza in addition to I volition larn busy quilting the Heart & Home quilt. It's a lap-sized quilt, in addition to therefore it shouldn't bring every bit good long to complete it off.
This is how our twenty-four hours went yesterday. Every fourth dimension I hollo back the kitties are resigned to their novel in addition to (hopefully) temporary condition every bit indoor-only cats, they allow me know that this scheme is non acceptable to them. They spent the entire twenty-four hours whining in addition to yowling in addition to getting into whatever mischief they could find. Yesterday's photo-a-day prompt was "open up," in addition to this seemed similar a perfect image.
Open upwards the door....puh-leeeeeze!
Their size deviation cracks me up. Smitty is an unusually big boy, piece Sadie is an unusually petite piffling girl. And delight live polite past times non mentioning anything near the length of their tails.
On a positive note, Coyote Man was hither yesterday to bring a facial expression at the belongings in addition to locomote out a plan. He says he'll live dorsum side past times side calendar week to pose some traps. We saw both coyotes over again belatedly yesterday afternoon. When nosotros run across them, it's ever the same pair, in addition to they're behaving inwards the green way, running across the bottom of our champaign in addition to through the tree business into the neighbor's field. Sometimes they'll halt in addition to seek to nab a gopher along the way.
Today I'll create some locomote outside, in addition to and therefore I'll larn dorsum to my sewing. It should live some other fairly slow day, although Smitty in addition to Sadie could create upwards one's necessitate heed to become far a twenty-four hours for testing patience every bit well.
