Done

 I finished all the stitching on the Amy Mitten tape measure. I laced it together this morning. 

I have the carrot pull stitched but I still need to sew it into a strawberry shape and attach it to the tape measure. 

I felt like I was ready to go back to stitching on Amy Mitten's queen borders. I'll show you tomorrow. 

I walked this morning. I'm thinking maybe I'll try walking just a bit farther tomorrow. 

My friend and I tried to go to Dunkin Donuts yesterday. The lobby was closed because of not enough staff. The line for drive through was really long, so we gave up that idea. Maybe I'll make a cake instead.

Tape Measure Progress

 I got the bottom to the tape measure of Amy Mitten's The Garden Thief done.

Then I started the carrot pull that goes on the end of the measuring tape. 

I started the side band that I'm stitching in strawberries.

Soon I'll be able to put this puppy together.

Going out to lunch today with a friend. Fun!

To The Corner

 My goal was to work my way up to the corner of Come to the Garden by Teresa Kogut.

I did it!

I'm working on my third page of this chart. I really like this project. It is going faster than I expected. I thought it would take forever. 

I went looking for a shower curtain on the internet. There were 45 pages of them on Bed Bath and Beyond. I'm overwhelmed. I thought I'd better check to see if I had an extra one in the linen closet. Yep, I had two. They are not the kind I wanted but they will do. Whatever.

Two Birds

 I now have two birds on Sewn in Friendship.

I'm not sure how far to stitch on the sides of this central motif. I want to make this into a drum. I wrapped this around a glass to get some idea if I have room for the words. In the upper right corner I put a pencil mark. I need to stitch at least that far.

I walked this morning. I skipped walking several times this week so I have to get in the habit again. We get to talk to the grandkids tomorrow. Yay!

Happy Mail

 I spend too much time looking at stuff on the internet. Every once in a while I run across something sweet and order it. I found this Haven kit. It came from the UK. It had a postcard on top.

The kit was in a vellum envelope.

It is a small design meant to be a cover to a journal.

Nice selection of floss colors.

I watched a video from Claudia Squio this past weekend. It was National Cartonage day and she made a small notebook cover. It was easy. I can do this.

The weather has cooperated and I went walking this morning.

Top

 I started the second Garden Thief kit.  It consists of a tray, a bunny and a tape measure cover.

I started the tape measure cover and got the top stitched.

The band around the side of the tape measure is supposed to be stitched in carrots. I like the band that is around the pin disc which is stitched in strawberries so I'm doing the strawberries instead.

No walking today. It's raining. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I might not post.

Bird

 I got one of the birds done on Sewn in Friendship. 

Love it! 

I went walking this morning and got rained on. It didn't rain that hard but I changed my top when I got home. 

I've been goofing around on the IPad way too long, I've got to get to work!
