Pieces and parts

Three things to be happy about
(1) oatmeal for breakfast
(2) Benefiber on the go packets *wink*
(3) the morning newscast

This is a post about bits and pieces, but first I want to tell you about a bad idea!

I noticed my cutting board is getting threads embedded in places where I use the same lines a lot, so I had the bright idea to use one of those soft scrubbie things to clean it out.

Bad idea - don't do this at home!

Can you see how some of the lines are slightly faded?  I b'lieve the scrubbie thing scrubbed off some of the printed lines!

Moving right along...

Still prepping the pieces for the Idaho Square Dance leader ender blocks...


1-1/2 by 3-1/2 strips for the sides.

See the cute baby?  I think this was a piece of Alexander Henry fabric, can't be sure though.

threesies, to be added to the 1-1/2 x 3-1/2 strips

and twosies, for the four patches.

These haven't been cross cut yet - easy peasy!


I won't get much sewing done today, I have to do some out of the house things, including my front yard!

I don't understand why I can't have good grass out there, the soil might be bad.  Believe me, over the years I've tried at  least 4 kinds of grass, it just doesn't take!  Going back to mulch seems a good idea right now; I'll add some small plants.

That's it for now, gotta eat breffus and get started!  Sew forth and sew on til later
