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.  ♥
