Today's beasts

 

These are the first two samples of patchwork beasts for Jude's class. Class and members samples are very inspiring. And this could be addictive for sure. Too much fabric, too many ideas. 

Happy Camper

We are starting to get ready for a house remodel, major garage sale and today I start an online class that I'm excited about. The hardest part about all this is not being able to play while sifting and sorting. We are going to live in my studio while this is being done. Showers will be taken at the Y, cooking in the microwave or a plug in burner. Not starting until August 23, just the preparing now. Luckily we will still have access  to the basement  refrigerator, food, and washer and dryer. My class is from Spiritcloth from Jude Hill, making beasties. I have so much fabric and will only be using small pieces in this project so this won't make much of a dent. I particularly like hand sewing in the evening so this will fit right in. Grandkids 11 and almost 8 think I'm crazy taking this class, can tell they are growing up but who knows they may want to join in. Last week we did wood burning on new wooden spoons, gifts for their mom and one for each of them.  Our dog (long haired dachshund) jumped out of my husbands arms in May, landing on cement, resulting in a fractured leg, and $4000 to repair.  Had to keep him very still, was practically attached to me but good to go now. He does seem to rule the house at times and a friend just told me about a street sign being sold for 5 bucks with his name- Hubbell Pl. I'll have to "splurge" and get it. It will be a great gift for my husband who has never had a dog until now.   

 This is how I felt during the recovery! but summer is here now, garden is growing and am a happy camper.
