Friday Post Card

 Busy bee!

Today I am making chicken stock from a rotisserie chicken 

we picked up at the market...

drying parsley in my dehydrator

and hand stitching binding on a quilt.

All while enjoying a cup of honey tea.

free-ranging

I'm thinking another fabric journal cover with these?

crocs and crops

Someone mentioned a chicken fabric journal cover...

And I got right on it!

 The inside flaps are from an all time favorite piece I hoard.

I love making these fabric covers...like little quilts.

Like my Disney crocs?

What would we do without a crop feature?

queen of spring

 Dug out a few spring colors 

in my little sewing sweatshop today.

March 4

 The birds are singing and there are sheets on the line...

I hope this weather is here to stay.

I finished the binding on this quilt today.

One down and one to go just like it.

All stash fabrics...I like juvenile prints a lot!

I used a second hand sheet to back it.

I dare you

 She thought, "Go ahead, I dare you!".

Don't judge me...I'm a first timer to these.

They turned out good but not mall good.

I sprinkled half with salt and the other half with cinnamon and sugar.

I struggled with the pretzel shape but it's really about the taste anyway isn't it?

Unless Martha Stewart is coming over.

In the end I would be just as happy with a homemade bun.

lessons

If you would have been at our house yesterday 

you would have learned a little sewing... 

jelly making...

and candle pouring.

And if I was lucky I would have been teaching all three classes out of this shop.

We saw this arts and crafts retreat on Washington Island in Wisconsin.

Today we both got our first covid vaccination shots.
