Have No Fear
Have no fear you little applique scissors . . . I will find you. As much as Grammie has tidied, tided, I am missing a scissors used in trimming fabric during applique. Applique is when fabric is used to create a portion of the desired designs and this scissors allows for super close trimming. I know I will find it, just not today. It was hanging on the south wall of the studio. I need to get a close up and personal look at the bumper of the drainage tile that goes around the perimeter of the studio. Last month I spied with my little eye a small rotary cutter that had been pushed off the back of a shelf and there it was, just peeking up of where it had landed, between the cement wall and the bumper.
I had been doing some stitching of the 2026 nation’s celebration. I had two designs that were in need of finishing with stuffing and trim. I have the trim application down to a science. I can no long do hand stitching to apply the trim, but I know how to use Aleene’s Tacky Glue and my stick pins. It works like a charm.
It gives the little pillows a touch of finish.
To keep my hand in finding designs to download successfully, I have one on the hook that looks to be one that needs to be stitched. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe which flash drive should I load it on?
I have all the flash drives gone through, complete with what each one holds. I have one drive that has minimal on it, butterflies for Maria’s aprons. That is the one I chose. When I assure you that I have the where with-all to stay busy for the duration, I am not joking. As I mentioned I need to do the process often so as to not have to ask for help. Well, hell’s bells, now where would I go for that. Yup, YouTube if needed.
Adding photos to my postings is also something that needs to be done often so I do not forget the needed steps. Is it any wonder why by nine each night, I am ready for a good night’s rest.
Our supper this evening is a bowl of rich tomato soup. Made rich by using some heavy cream I have left in the refrigerator with a grilled cheese half sandwich. Dessert will be banana cream instant pudding with 2% milk that is two days past the sell by date and a banana that is begging to be used.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
