Day 111 of 2023

I gave Big D some options for a hat to accessorize a costume

 he will be wearing tomorrow for an event. 

He selected the long green striped number. 

(all hats handmade by Little E, M and me)

 

Day 110 of 2023

Today's buddy was this butterfly. 

He seemed to really like the Windex I was using

 to clean my very bug-covered windshield. 

He was showing me his beautiful orange wings 

until I got ready to take his picture. 

Then I guess he got shy.

 

Day 109 of 2023

My not-so-little buddy for the day.

 

Day 108 of 2023

The Old House.

When it seems insurmountable, 

I take it one step (cabinet) at a time

 and leave myself little encouraging notes. 

 

Day 107 of 2023

Unfortunately, a local quilt shop is closing after three years in business. 

I went today to participate in the current sale. 

I got a few pieces of fabric for backings 

and also found a couple clothing patterns for a very good price. 

This evening I thought it would be a good idea

 to start a list and make notes to myself. 

This way when I get a chance to sew clothing in a couple months, 

I will be able to remember what I was thinking

 regarding fabric and pattern match ups. 

I will thank myself later.

 

Day 106 of 2023

I am headed up to work on the Old House tomorrow,

 and as much as I have looked, 

I have yet to find a 5-in-1 tool there so I will be bringing my own. 

I have also filled in the missing pictures starting with Day 95 of 2023.

 

Day 105 of 2023

Here is another of the changes that happened while we were gone. 

There are a few leaves emerging now, 

but I love the bright yellow-green of that fuzzy stuff that appears first. 

(I have just looked this fuzzy stuff up 

and evidently these are the flowers of this maple tree. 

They appear before the leaves.)
