Today

I will do anything to avoid curved piecing.

This was how I avoided it yesterday & today.

I'm still deciding about the blue/green fabric I bought for the setting triangles. 

I will sew this puppy together tomorrow.

Maybe.

Stonehenge Fabric by Northcott.

At least, I think it's Northcott. 

I'm sure about the Stonehenge.

Details...I'm not good at them.

The local shop had a Stonehenge event a while back.

Since they went to all that trouble, I felt it was only right that I buy some.

Fabric...it's a problem I have.

Bridget didn't eat her morning chow, which worried me.

And she was trying to eat grass on all 3 of our walks today.

I think she really misses Pat.

And I think she's a grazer, too.

I can't leave her food out all day.

Frannie would gobble it up & we can't have that!

She did eat all her dinner, so I feel a bit better.

She's such a sweetie...so much like Frannie I can't believe it!

Except the food thing...then they're opposites.

Murray is at a big shindig tonight honoring a Syracuse banker.

Herman Boone is the speaker...Remember the Titans.

He's been talking about this all week.

He brought something for him to autograph.

He's such a dork.

Herman got gutters put on his house.

I think he has such a cute house. 

I love that kid.

The paver work is almost done.

Just a few fills and repairs.

Then it gets sealed and I write a big check.

I can't wait for the cage to go up.

But that will be at least a week.

Patience.

Nico de Mayo #6

Mucho things going on this Cinco de Mayo.

Unfortunately, a Margarita is not one of them.

I find drinking alone pathetic.

And sad.

Murray left yesterday...so I am margarita-less this Cinco de Mayo.

But....

The ugly pool project marches on.

Or, more appropriately, creeps along.

I finished these...

To go with these previously constructed items...

A cattywampus sneak peek...

You know what this means, my friends?

The next step is the dreaded curved piecing.

Scary.

I hope to get this prepped for curved sewing tomorrow.

I'd really like to see it done. 

Time will tell.

How much time remains to be seen.

I promised myself I would finish at least 1 of my paper piecing projects before taking another class.

Guess what...there is another class I'm interested in on the 21st.

I started this today...

Which was dumb, cause it's another WIP.

But I didn't want to do the curved piecing.

Or another bento box.

Or my stars around the garden UFO.

Or my marmalade UFO.

Ok, I've got to stop myself.

I'm kinda stuck home with my house guest.

I think she and Frannie are warming up to each other.

Or not.

And last, but certainly not least, HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY to the one and only Nico!

Something about this boy.....
