Whooping Friday


Another LONG month has passed and I hope that May brings us lots more to look forward to.  Hopefully drier,warmer weather will bless us.  I look forward to flowers and even the bees.


 I plan to keep working thru that plastic tote.  Small projects with quick finishes.  I'm using up the orphan blocks and block units first.  These few double 4-patch blocks made a nice table topper.


Not sure if this was the original plan for these units, but another quick table topper made.


These units were pinned together  with bits and pieces of left overs - not enough to stretch it so I added just a little bit of my own to finish up a small table runner. 


Two sheets of Civil War samples and I have a plan for them.  AND steady my heart!  1" strips sewn together for a 'little' bit of play.


Moe came to help with (rearranging) layout while I was chaining away.  That's OK as I am giving him lots of extra attention as he is feeling pain.  My poor Bella has been having more severe seizures and in poor health.  We are keeping an eye on her, but Moe senses the possible loss of a dear friend - even if she did show him often that she was the BOSS.

Stay Safe and Healthy,
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

Oh, I send you heaps of love as the pets ail, not a good time to be ill for anyone, far less the ones who can only talk with their eyes and tails.XXXX

Oh no. Hugs and kisses to Bella and Moe. Looks like you have some nice projects going on. Small projects get me revved up again to tackle bigger ones.

So sorry your Bella is not doing well, give Moe an extra hug. Small project finishes are good things.

I always look forward to reading about your sweet kitties. It makes me sad to hear that they are ailing physically and emotionally. The tabletoppers look great.

Purrs for Bella. Pets for Moe.

Sorry to hear that Bella is ailing. Isn't it amazing how animals have a sixth sense when storms are brewing, whether meteorological or emotional. Glad you are keeping busy with lots of little projects to clean out the scraps (well some of them anyway).
