Did a few little sewing projects this week -
This little table runner is made from hexagons that I have been hand sewing for a while (an English Paper Piecing project).
It is about 10" x 31".
It is for the top of an old curio cabinet in my sewing room (not much is visible).
This is a kicker toy for the cats (really GingerSnap! is the one that likes to kick).
The pattern is from the Bernina website (link to tutorial). I used a clean chip bag for the "crinkle", stuffed it with wool waste, from cleaning and combing a fleece for spinning, and some catnip.
They don't tend to play with toys in the summer, I guess since they spend so much time outside, but this should be good for them in the winter.
Photos from Around -
We had so much rain at the beginning of the week.
By the end of the week the garden was almost dry.
So far this has been the summer of ticks! I have never seen so many - I have definitely got over my fear of them. Some days I find more than I have ever had all my previous years combined.
The pets all have preventative medicine.
Molly is trying to get out of the rain under a tree.
We are hoping the chickens are eating lots of ticks when they are out and about.
Here are a couple enjoying the sunshine.
All the best!♥︎
