Did some sewing this week-
Made Miss Maggie some bright collar covers so the birds see her (she had been catching a few too many recently). I made 3 all the same because she loses them easily (the collars are quick release and she tries to rub them off on everything). Apparently only birds see the collar, and she still catches rodents.
Finished sewing another bra. The one I made a few months ago is so comfortable. I made this one with a foam lining for a change. The pattern is a free download pdf pattern - Maya Bra by AFI Atelier (I modified the straps).
Last week I wrote that this cross stitch project was going to be a five year project, but it turns out I have only been working on it for two years, so it should still be what I originally planned - a three year project! I am trying to stitch a thread or motif a day now. The pattern is All Creatures Great and Small by Barbara Ana.
Temperature blanket.
Photos from Around-
We are still seeing flocks of Canada Geese flying north.
The little chicks started going outside for a few minutes each day this week. Miss Maggie is still keeping an eye on them.
This one has places to go, she is definitely one of the most dominant ones (she is a Cinnamon Queen).
We think it is racoons eating up the eggs in the nests around the yard (the two Mallard nest and one Kildare nest - all were on the ground), but there is one little Mourning Dove in a tree that hopefully will survive.
We have had so much rain in the past few weeks that everything is so green.
This is during today's rainstorm - the vegetable garden never gets a chance to dry out, so I don't know when things will get planted. We did manage to get some mowing done in areas yesterday.
All the best!♥︎
