Border Pieces





I spent my sewing time yesterday making the parts and pieces for the Autumn Garden border. I have many more to go, but I'm getting there!


As I'm trimming these bonus triangles, I am saving them...


...and I'm sewing them together.


I have quite a few of them now - I'll put them aside and make pot holders or something with them. I love having extra parts and pieces for odd little projects.


It was warm (79 degrees!) yesterday as Cooper and I hiked. We went further than usual - Hubby was disappointed that he missed the hike - he didn't get back from the golf course in time. That big blob I'm holding in my left hand is the plastic grocery bag I take along to pick up Cooper's poop. Actually, I don't have to pick it up. As soon as he squats I just put the bag 'in place' and he goes straight into the bag. Yes, the neighbors know Cooper as 'the dog who poops into a bag.' His reputation grows! Good boy, Cooper!


No more mousy, dirty gray! I'm highlighted and low lighted - yippee! I still do a double take every time I look in the mirror. My face! It's so much slimmer since I lost weight! And yes, the skin, THE SKIN! No make up here - I almost never wear it anymore. I'm no beauty queen, but it's not bad for knocking on 57 years old.

What's up today? Lots of FUN! Daughter 2 is arriving today - yippee! We're eating dinner out tonight with BOTH daughters and one DIL - yippee! And while we're waiting for D2 to arrive? Hmmm...thinking of starting another pet portrait with watercolors...

What's on tap for you today? I hope you have something fun to do! Have a wonderful day!

  2. Like your hair. You may have tipped me over the balance point as I've been thinking about doing the same!
