No Sewing, Day Two

It's not entirely accurate to say there's been no sewing for two days. Actually, there's been no sewing at the machine. There's been plenty of slow-stitching. I suppose it makes sense to practice up since that's what I'll be doing during March. Yesterday, the bunny got his tummy, and the embroidery for the Bunny Garden is finished.

When I work on this again, I'll be adding a piano key border like the one on Lynette Anderson's website.

With that finished, I needed yet another project. The kits I've made up are packed, and so I need something to keep inside the house and stitch fast. Oh yes...another project. Do you think we're running some kind of charity here? When one stitching project is finished, we have plenty more. (Sound of whip cracking.) We want to keep our needles hot here at the Three Cats Ranch.

So, this next project has been on my to-do list for several years. I found this free on the internet. It's a design from Kaaren Johnson who used to blog at The Painted Quilt. She shut down her blog in 2016, but all of her free patterns are still available at the link I've given you. You can find this one on her right side bar under the First Friday Freebies. It's called "When Life gives you Scraps."

It's all traced out now, but I haven't started it yet. I'll do that next.

It turned into a relatively nice day yesterday. The kitties were out a good part of the day. They haven't been outside much at all for the past couple of weeks, and so they were tired by day's end. Sadie likes being tucked in.

Smitty prefers his pole. He's having to guard his pole judiciously since Sadie's attempt to carry out a coup d'etat over that territory.

Instead of sewing yesterday, I made up a bunch of lists and gave some thought to the menu for the beginning of our trip. Also, I took stock of what's in the trailer and what's needed. There's still plenty of time, and so I'm trying to get as much done as I can while it can be done at a leisurely pace.

Today I'm going to do some laundry and make up two blocks for the CTC sew-along. It should be a pretty easy-going day.
