Strings


My scrap organization has taken on a life of it's own! I am almost finished with my pinks. There were these little bits that were really too small to save but I just couldn't throw them out. So I started to sew them together.


It was a nice break from standing and cutting. I like the bird heads, marching along. This will be an ongoing project.


I did some experimenting and was not thrilled with the results. I just don't like the colors I selected. What I did do was to free hand cut the angles and then mix them up and sew them back together. I will try again.


I have been torn between reading and sewing. This book is so good! Camperdown is the last name of the main characters. I like finding a new author, now there is another book of her's to try, called Apologize Apologize.



In my quest to change my eating habits I tried these. Yes they are good but too expensive. Does anyone know of a good recipe to make them yourself? I tried to make them once before and they were not good. Could they have any more labels on this?

Kitchen update. The cabinets are in and the hardware is installed.

This is on the other side of the kitchen, the great room. My son, Johnson and his helper are preparing the fireplace for some stone.


It's getting there.
