More April Projects...

I have been busy with getting ready to start up my garden,, and we are starting to do some home renovations... but I still manage to get a few crafty projects done...

I played with a cute Daisey & Bee design for a friend who likes Bees... the Gnome with the wine glass is for my sister, The little 'sewing room" is a key holder. The tan & blue camping design is a mini pillow The Fuss Ball is for cousin in Germany. Hopefully this week I will have time to play a bit more with my embroidery machine. Our weather here in the Spokane area has been a bit gloomy,, but hopefully next week our weather will start to be much nicer,, I really want to get my garden going.. I have started seedlings in the house but now they are starting to get a little lanky and need to be planted outside. This years flower bed will be packed with plants that will attract Bees, Hummingbirds and Butterflies... Last week my husband and I had to run some errands in town and we made a quick stop into our favorite Thrift Shop.. Oh, look what I found!!! 3 lovely, unfinished Quilt tops!! I paid $16.00 for all 3... I will attach the batting, backing and binding during the summer. I also found a cute vintage apron for $2.00 What a fun day we had...

I can hardly believe the month of April is almost over.. but, we got our 2nd COVID vaccination and now we can feel a bit more comfortable visiting with our friends, but, we will continue to wear our face masks just to be safe... Dear friends, stay safe and healthy.

It Has been Busy here at 'Running Quail Ranch'...

It has been so very busy since we got home from Southern California... and just have not had time to visit here on Blogger... but it's quiet for now,,, so I will try to play catch-up.. A lot of Joy and Saddness has visited us and our family and some dear friends this past month ,, but Faith keeps us strong.... We are having some remodeling on this old house of ours done and celebrating several birthdays.... plus I am waiting for Spring to really show up so I can get going on my garden and pull my 2 vintage trailers out of the barn. Gary and I hope to be able to put our Motorhome to good use this summer as well, fingers crossed. Here are some fun little projects I have been working on... sorry the photos are not all that great,,,

I made this Yoyo table topper from vintage feed sack material for a swap challenge..

I found this pre-cut cork material and turned them into a pair of earrings for a friend.

I made a upcycled Jean tote bag for a wonderful High School friend.

Then I made several Yoyo flags for banners... which some will be sent to friends... I think I might need to make one for one of my camping trailers... Both Gary and I have had our 1st COVID vaccination,,, and will get our 2nd one next week... but we will still maintain distancing and wear masks... and Washington state will be opening up the vaccinations for all age groups by the 19th of April... much to our relief,, now our daughter will be able to get hers. In the meantime,, until this pandemic is past us world wide.. we practice staying safe and we hope you will stay safe too.
