There wasn't much going on hither at the Traveling Three Cats Ranch yesterday. The temperatures warmed upwards a petty from the twenty-four threescore minutes menstruum before, but non equally hot equally the previous 2 days. My plans included sewing, but therefore Mike was working on a project, as well as he was spread all over the interior of the RV. Since my sewing also likes to accept upwards every apartment surface, our projects were at odds amongst 1 another. In a present of non bad magnanimity, I gave him the fourth dimension as well as infinite to goal what he was working on...mainly, because I wanted him to practise it.
He installed a petty filtered H2O spigot at the kitchen sink. We'd been using a Brita pitcher, which needed a novel filter. And those things are expensive, therefore why bother when he had this projection on his docket. Here's the "Before" image:
After Mike worked his magic...voila!
Nice, huh? And that space-hogging Brita pitcher is therefore outa here.
There was plenty infinite for me to brand upwards the 4th snowflake, but I won't start on this until I've done to a greater extent than or less to a greater extent than hand-quilting.
It's to a greater extent than or less other addictive hand-stitching project. I'm loving the bead piece of job on these. This adjacent 1 volition lead maintain these beads where the circles appear.
I've been using 3 colors of bluish floss from my stash on these, but it's clear I'm going to run out. And nosotros had a pair of errands to run, therefore I picked upwards a pair of skeins at JoAnn. (No JoAnn employees were harmed during this outing.) Also, Mike ever has to brand at to the lowest degree 2 trips to the hardware store whenever he's inward the middle of a project. And then, nosotros learned something yesterday that volition brand our life on the route therefore much easier at times. So here's what happened.
Without going into the whole distressing story of our postal service forwarding problems, I think nosotros finally got it all sorted out yesterday. As it turns out, the post piece of job has been forwarding our mail, but nosotros weren't receiving anything from MyRVmail.com because I neglected to fill upwards out a shape required past times the post office. And this meant to a greater extent than or less other trip to Staples to impress something. And, of course, the computers were downwards in 1 trial to a greater extent than at Staples. (Drat!) So nosotros whined as well as complained as well as threw ourselves on the flooring for a three-year-old-style tantrum, when a overnice immature human being said something along the lines of, "Oh...well, precisely e-mail it to us at Staples@printme.com, as well as we'll impress it for you!" And nosotros said inward unison, "Huh?" (We're therefore real one-time as well as intellectually intact these days.)
Well, therefore here's the deal: You precisely ship your impress project to that e-mail address above...a pdf, inward our case. Within a infinitesimal or so, you'll acquire a verification code past times provide email, as well as therefore yous tin accept that code to whatsoever Staples store, punch it into 1 of their printers, as well as impress your document. Whoa! Who knew? I'm telling you, I wanted to become correct habitation as well as ship to a greater extent than or less other e-mail amongst the novel I'm writing (which doesn't truly exist), therefore I could impress that off correct away. Also, it was cheaper because I exclusively paid for the pages I printed, as well as non for the minutes I spent on their computer. Okay, therefore similar a shot I experience equally if I lead maintain a novel lease on life. Maybe the adjacent fourth dimension person explains something to me, I'll tell something to a greater extent than intelligent than "Huh?"
Okay, well, I was completely rejuvenated then, therefore I took a walk when nosotros got dorsum to the RV. These are to a greater extent than or less things I saw:
Looks similar Garfield has spent a petty besides much fourth dimension inward the sun. But he's climbing a flag pole, therefore I suppose there's withal to a greater extent than or less life left inward the cat.
This 1 blooming thing. There was a dearth of blooming things along yesterday's path.
This bicycle is correct at our ain site. Mike thinks it belongs to the lady adjacent door. It's truly at our site though.
Behind it is this hanging aeroplane bath, all total of leaves as well as other debris. Wouldn't yous think if person went to the problem of hanging a aeroplane bath, they'd lay it where they could come across it, as well as continue it cleaned out? So, I lead maintain an persuasion these items were left behind past times to a greater extent than or less other traveler.
It was close the goal of the twenty-four threescore minutes menstruum past times then, as well as nosotros were treated to a beautiful sunset.
Day is done. I therefore want I could lead maintain taken a pic of the nighttime heaven afterwards the Sun set. I tried, believe me, but my pictures were all blurry. There was a petty sliver of a moon...my favorite sort of moon, where yous tin come across precisely the tiniest sliver, but yous tin also come across clearly the spherical shape of the moon. Then, precisely higher upwards the moon, Venus was shining brightly. It was a beautiful evening.
Today I think I volition go out my sewing car as well as practise to a greater extent than or less sewing. I lead maintain a pair of projects I could select from, but I haven't made upwards my mind. I could stitch my Tiny Tuesday blocks together. Here's the in conclusion pic I took of them earlier they were finished:
I request to a greater extent than or less stuff to goal them off. We're planning a trip to Oceanside tomorrow amongst a halt off at a quilt store along the way, as well as therefore that's a existent contender. I tin withal stitch the blocks together, fifty-fifty without the fabric.
On the other hand, I could stitch the "Stitch" sampler into a finished flimsy. There are truly 2 samplers I was planning to goal off past times sewing the 2 together into a pocket-size runner. I'm non certain if I request to a greater extent than stuff for this one.
Or, on the other other hand, I could stitch the Farm Fresh Eggs into a finished flimsy. Just equally I was getting create to include this, I realized I don't lead maintain it listed on my "In Progress" page, as well as therefore I don't know when I commencement started it. But allow me tell you...it's been a while. The embroidery is finished, but I pulled fabrics as well as brought them along for sewing on the road.
If you've been paying attention, yous powerfulness fifty-fifty scream back I picked a backing stuff piece nosotros were on our in conclusion trip. This came from Cortez Quilt Company inward Cortez, Colorado.
I'm sort of leaning toward the in conclusion 1 since I know lead maintain everything I request to goal it off. And piece I've been typing this, I looked dorsum over previous spider web log posts as well as figured out I started this on September 15, 2019. Now it's included inward my "In Progress" page. Phew! Close call!
Okay, therefore lots to do, as well as decisions to make. What's going on inward your sewing room correct now?
