Curiously Intertwined

Wednesday, June 17, 2026

It was a dark and stormy night.

I went out front to see how hard it was raining

and was distracted by the pretty ferns lit by the porch light

and showing off new growth.

Cardinal at the feeder.

He also spent a good amount of time on the ground

under the feeder.

I saw a woman online take an orphan granny square

and attach it to a baseball cap with a logo she didn't like on it.

It occurred to me that I had a tote given to me

that had a blacked out name on it.

Then I remembered that I have a bag of orphan granny hexies

that were meant for another project that I will never finish.

I had quite a few that were good options

but ultimately chose this one which gives me bright summer vibes.

I sewed it on with a large zig-zag and matching thread

and now it feels like a new tote.

It already has a knitting project in it.

Today I tackled the thread drawer.

Most of my quilt piecing threads will go into the drawer I have emptied

instead of being scattered in various places on the sewing table.

The full spools of the type of thread pictured above

that I use for clothing, topstitching and other sewing

that needs matching thread will be relocated.

I will be trying to use up these almost empty spools

for things like basting and bobbin thread.

I'm not sure how I'll store them yet.

GB#3 performed tonight with his summer theater group.

They had a great time and we really enjoyed watching him perform.

My daylilies currently go on for days.

Today was the strawberry festival on the circle.

We went early this morning

and avoided the biggest crowds and lines.
