Autumn is Here....

The weather is changing,, from sunny hot days to brisk winds and rain showers... Yes, Autumn is here. That means more time to spend in my sewing room and less out in my garden. I am playing with making simple machine embroidery ornaments with wool felt backing... I am currently working on Holloween ones, I made 2 of these,, to send to friends. I have some more cute Holloween themed embroidery designs to play with and then I will move on to Thanksgiving and of course lots of Christmas designs..

A day of simple sewing...

Well this weekend was a very relaxing and enjoyable sewing weekend... I made another stash of face masks which have been mailed out to their new homes... I also made some reusable,,, reversable bowl covers. perfect for covering rising bread dough or to keep pesky-nosey pets from trying to help themselves to what ever snack is in the bowl., And last, I redesigned my machine embroidery stitched ornament.. I made the new one by stitching it onto a wool felt backing.. which I like much better. I was thinking, what a cute gift the bowl topper would make for a friend who likes to bake.. Hand made bowl cover, bowl, wooden spoon and a package of bread, scone or cookie mix,,, assemble and attach a cute note or recipe card to the recipient. I still can't figure out the new blogger system,, but for now, I will muddle through so please bare with me... so I wi;; post the pics below.

Good Bye Blog,,,

I am so sad, but am probablly not going to be posting on Blog anymore... I can not get any help from Blogger in spite of all my requests.. When I try to post,,, all all I get is 1 line.. and can not see what I have typed and when I add photos, they print up in crazy format that takes nearly the whole page.. it is sort of like typing in Brail.. I have no dea what I have typed until I post and go back and look,, but then when I try to make corrections, the page only shows one or two lines and I can't get my cursor to click on the spot, so I have no idea what I am typing..so I think my days pf blogging are over.. I no longer can see who is in my reading list, so I will miss reading my blog friends posts. It was nice while it lasted.. if I can ever get help from blogger I will gladly return, but until then,, Peace be with you...

OK,, MY Blog account is Wacky!

My account is nothing like before,, Idon't know how much longer before I no longer can access my blog account, But while I can, here goes,,I am stitching up some proto type fabric-machine embroidered ornaments,, and in the last 2 photos, is a small 6x8" banner for my cousin who lives in Munich Germany.. Since the Oktoberfest has been cancelled due to COVID-19, I thought he could place this somewhere

Getting Caught Up...

Well between the horrid 40-50mph winds, then all the fires, including one that was about a mile away from us.. I am slowling getting causght up.. The air quality has been dreadful,, to the point of my not being able to go outside, the air was so smoke filled that I could barely breath,, and now the weather has cooled down so much so that my poor garden and called it quits!... On the plus side,, I have been spending more time in my messy craft~sewing room.. getting a few things caught uo.

I made a cute wool-felt snowman ornament..

I made a lavender wreath door hanging,,, which dried a bit to fast and everytime we opened or closed the door,,, we got covered in lavender buds! lol!
