BUTTERFLY # 5, E et al

 

Purple Butterfly...(#5)
Begun

The circles are a dark purple
although the stitches look black
here....

Here is the Valdani 
thread I used...

I was able to sit out on the deck for an hour 
stitching right after noon
time as it got warmer than it has been.

******************************************
AND...
My hydrangea is turning rosey/beige.

I just love this color....

I will be trimming the hydrangea back again this
Fall as look at how it grew back!!↡↡↡↡

Like gangbusters!!;)))
Loving these floppy, mop heads...

Sooo pretty...
Dawn at "relaxingrobin.blogspot.com"
[I could not get the link to work!!] 
suggested that I make a
wreath with the flower heads...
She is SO crafty....;)))
I would love to try that...💕

********************************
We are planning to have a fence installed 
to screen us from the neighbors' Big old, rusty Blue bus 
and
just a whole lot of junk left out
in their yard ...

We have a couple of fence installers coming
to give us an estimate today and
tomorrow...
We are aiming for 7 feet...

As you can see, their yard is RIGHT off of our tv room;
and during three seasons when those leaves come
down and the underbrush dies back, 
all we can see are old boxes, and trash...
Not a very inspiring view......

I hope we can get it installed before all that foliage
dies back...

**********************************
For this past week I have been experiencing 
"Quiltus Interruptus"

I got an SOS from my DIL that
Willa  and Fiona are in 
desperate NEED
of SNACK BAGS
for school...

So I made 5 for each...
[ I forgot to take photos before I wrapped and
sent them off this afternoon...];000

We had Cats & Sushi fabric, 
Telephones and cartoons,
Owlets and snow fabric
And Ghastlies with roses
(the last for Halloween time
or those days when they are feeling
super "Crabby" ) hahaha
*********************************
So that has been my week....

I am not that adept at making small items like these and
it took me quite a while to get going...
but, they got done;)))

I hope your week has gone well..
Tomorrow is
TGIF
Even though we are retired, we still
love Fridays...;)))👴👵
