Finagling
When in my studio, sometimes the finagling could dumfound the average crafter. Small narrow 2.5 x 7 inch double sided projects that need to be turned with right sides together takes patience. Slow and steady. It all brings me contentment. I Actually had seven such little weasels to turn inside out. Some were machine embroidered designs and some were hand stitched designs. A good knitting needle helps to poke out the corners, but not so much poking that the fabric is punched through. Giving them a good pressing afterwards tidies them up a lot from being crumpled.
The next item on the agenda was to glue enough of the opening shut so I have just enough to wedge my little plastic funnel into it for the crushed walnuts to fill them. After the gluing, the studio lights were shut off. Enough is enough.
I was surprised when I came upstairs that we were having snow flurries that were being blown around by the 25 mph northwest wind. The wind does not cease.
Our small flag on the end of our front step never gets a chance to rest. In times past we would purchase the little flags in a big-box store that were imprinted with the stars and strips. In short order they were shredded. This last spring I ordered two via Amazon that could be stripped onto our steel electric fence type rod. Each faction of the flag was double sewn. I put the cap of a Sharpie on top of the rough rod. One of my quilter’s Wonder Clips held the width of the flag tight onto the rod. Both the top cap and the clip has held tight throughout this entire windy winter with no signs of wear. Our history with those little flags had not been great so I had ordered two. The second one is still in its wrapper.
Dennis had called me up at noon to have a sandwich with him. We had hot bacon sandwiches. Yum. We haven’s discussed supper yet.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
