Another quilt DONE! Again, the week went so smoothly, that I was able to out do my To-Do List. The Papa Ray quilt has been mailed (not in the original plans, but sometimes life happens), the TOPS quilt has been labeled, washed and photographed, and as I type this, the Cowboy quilt has been washed and photo shoot done. We walked up the lane in our little neighborhood to a semi-abandoned corral area. A storm is moving in, so it was a little windy, but I have a few shots I am pleased with.
Using more scraps from the improv poppies I made the binding and did big-stitches with orange embroidery floss to add to the modern look of the table runner.

✔ I'll be wrapping up the table topper with our business logo
I love the way it looks! And the win-win is that when Dave wants to do photos of the the guns he builds or restores there is no need for watermarking the photos.
He did tell me that it is too nice to be left on the table between shoots so it will be protected from grease and oil stains.
Just look at all that texture! Though it ...
read moreAs I had planned last week I have been a busy little elf in the studio creating some special WOW gifts for our church's Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes.
✔ I will be making items for the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes... I have fabric pulled to make shorts for little boys and skirts for the girls.
As it turned out, I have had extra time... let me explain.
On Thursday we received a message stating that our son-in-law had reported for his mandatory bi-weekly covid test on Monday. The results revealed a positive. Ummm... we had just delivered the kiddos ...

In the most recent published letter from Helmut Müller he implies that something big had happened either on August 21, 1946 or in recent days. Perhaps he was simply referring the atrocious conditions of Germany in general... buildings bombed and destroyed, living conditions were poor, not to mention the lack of food and work/income.
The men that have written all seem grateful for the jobs that they had. Ernst Ruehr found work in a nursery, while his brother worked for a farmer in Bavaria and Alert Baldauf obtained a position with the American Military Government.

I am, by nature, a list maker... sometimes it is on paper, but most of the time it is only in my mind.
Dave is currently gone for a few days and for the last few days leading up to his departure, I have been formulating a list in my mind of things I want to do while he is gone.
It probably seems silly to you, but one of the top things... is to make overnight oatmeal. You see, he is not a fan of oatmeal. Oh, I slip oatmeal into our morning breakfast rotation about once every two ...
