Good morning, Friends... Well, I got tired of doing my sewing in the living room! So... I got the brilliant idea to move everything to a bedroom that I use as my "office", Cricut Room...etc. Well, Larry bought me the Cricut about 4 years ago just because he thought I needed a hobby...lolol...I didn't need a Cricut, but I thought it such a sweet thing to do, I tried to use it. I did make some t-shirts for Sloane...(greatgran), Larry used it to print out a few things but basically, it just gathered dust. I really tried to get into it but...alas...never happened. Well, last week Larry said, while I was trying to figure out just where I could put all my sewing equipment, he says, to sell the Cricut to make room! Bingo...so I did. Listed it on Facebook and got tons of offers immediately. I chose a local girl that is friends with my daughter and granddaughter. She was thrilled to get it along with all the accessories.
Now the room change-over begins.
What a MESS! I forgot to get a "before" shot...
Libby has to supervise...
We both carried...dragged...struggled with...this table to get it into position! We are both too old to do all this manual labor! What a shocking realization! ....lolol We have no one that can help us...we are all we have, short of hiring someone. I was tempted! Maybe not yet though...but soon may have no alternative. We took a long break afterwards. I was surprised we were able to get out of bed the next morning!
Still, so much to do...
Well...it probably is...lolol
Big Sister Sloane is excited to welcome little sister Lottie into the family...May God grant them closeness and loyalty with lots of love sprinkled in, for always.
Baby Lottie's quilt is almost done! All that's left is me hand sewing the label on! Samantha's shower is Saturday...the label arrived just in time!
And yes, I added Larry (Gampa's) name...he did hold the quilt up for me so I could get the full-on shot...Lolol
This is a new block I'm playing with...log cabin but, I need to finish the label, then get the sewing room finished and cleaned up.
A quick tip...I needed a place to be able to look at my blocks that I create. Larry had a large piece of cardboard, and I had an old plastic tablecloth that has that short furry backside on it...I cut the tablecloth to fit the cardboard, furry side up, glued it down all around the edges...added some "Alien Tape" (Amazon) to stick to the back of my sewing room door...and it works great! Yes, you can see the pattern of the tablecloth, but I just ignore it because I really don't want to bother going to Dollar Tree for a new one.
Spring is springing here, even though it returned to cold weather last week. It's warmer this week now...thank goodness.
Food Court
Granddaughter Samantha brought Larry and I, apple fritters. We had kept little Sloane, and I think this was a bribe...lolol
Larry's Dad had sent a box of Omaha steaks 2 years ago and this little filet was found in a lower basket of the freezer. Figured I better get it cooked! It was alright but tiny.
Pan of chicken and baby red potatoes
Tri-tip and corn with green beans
Well, I suppose that's it for me...for now. The city is still working on our road... it'll be good when they finish. Then I have granddaughter Samantha's baby shower to attend on Saturday...I hope she likes the quilt... So, until next time...
