It feels like
July in Missouri. A perfect day to go swimming with girlfriends. Thank you Christa, for hosting and sharing your wonderful pool with us.
Yesterday was a productive day. Besides the laundry and cooking and the minimal cleaning around the house, I got the strips cut for the blue quilt my mom is currently working on. I also got Jax’s stocking out and did a bit of work on it. The plan is to do a bit of work on it every night until it is finished. It is not a Bucilla stocking kit, which has all the pieces printed on the felt, the sequins & beads separated into individual packages. The pattern is printed on a big sheet of paper that has to be cut out and then traced onto the felt. And all the beads and sequins are together in one big package. So you have to sort thru the sequins to find the right color and also to dig out the beads. :/ But it has lots of cats on in it, and that was the whole point of the stocking. Jax & his cats. Even though it is only a couple weeks til school starts, my goal is to have the stocking done by then.
My new flock of chickens. Marsha gave them to me because I said the saddest thing about living inside city limits is that I cannot have chickens in my back yard. So now I have chickens. Unfortunately they probably won’t lay any eggs; but they are cute and make me happy.
