A stupid ground squirrel, not my kind of fun! I like tree squirrels better, however, I kinda appreciate this neutral greyed pallet and the little guys belly polka dots. Doesn't take much. sigh.
I finished my little 10" square to contribute to a member of my Pod who recently lost her husband. I can't imagine how a quilt will help her recover from this but whatever floats that boat. maybe a quilt will be exactly what I need when the time comes, I dunno. But I fulfilled my promise and got my little contribution out there like the team player I sometimes pretend to be.
I also finished the second section of three of the Big Slasher- the next part will be fast, I am hoping tomorrow to get at it so the whole thing will b ready to layer and quilt when I get back. That part will be Not Fast, but the machine is behaving so well that I may be surprised- I adore my new foot which seems to have solved so may problems, wish I would have gotten it years ago.
I spent two hours 'coloring in' the rusted Tree of Life piece and it went off without a hitch, like I really knew what I was doing! I mostly worked on sections of the trunk and major branches, saving the fiddly work for when I get better at this process. My plan is to hang this piece next to the steel piece I took the rust print from. It wasn't a very good impression so don't know how they might work together but that is my original thought when I started it. I'm anxious to get to some of the leaves and flowers soon to see more color. I even have fruits and 2 birds so it will be fun if nothing else. I really should be showing pictures along the route since it won't go anywhere- will take some tomorrow so you know what I'm talking about.
Got my Two X Twenty quilts FedEx'd out today, Yeaaa, not due until August 1 but I am leaving and won't return in time to mail it and get it there except for today. Then I made a couple of stops for errands and zip, the day was gone, so I headed home and got inside just in time to watch a deluge that overflowed the little pool- yeah, the same pool the pool guy yesterday told me to leave the hose in for a few hours to fill it a bit. Then we played in-and-out doggies when the rain was coming down sideways- they would get out there, drenched in two seconds, and turn around miserable trying to get back in without peeing. Over and over. I gotta go, no, I don't gotta go, mom- let's go IN! NOW!
And for this they want cookies.
Good question. Today I also returned 2 rug samples and checked a third in natural light, stopped into the house to see a painted crown molding and nothing else noteworthy, then started looking for poop bags for the dogs until I finally gave up and headed to Petco. Lordy I am so tired of errands and useless poking around! What am I busy about, indeed.
I cannot wait to get back to normal life and actually spend nice stretches of time in the studio again.
