This is a quick post to let you know I might not be online for a while. An EF-0 tornado went through our neighborhood on Friday. We are ok and counting our blessings that the only damage we had no serious damage. The roads out were blocked for two days and we were without power for 3 days.
I'll be back to blogging when we have wifi connection, as the connection without it very slow. Plus, I'd rather blog on the computer than on the phone!

All the pieces for the Father Christmas wall hanging are cut out. Changed the book and sack to a star and gingerbread man.
Their faces and hands looked pasty, so they were lightly colored with Inktense pencils. They curled up a bit when they got wet, but that shouldn't be a problem.
It was more fun to start a new body than stuff and sew all the pieces together on Lucy Hare from Kerry Lord's book Edward's Menagerie. Before I know it, the body was finished and the head of a llama was on the way.
This workbench followed me home from Harbor Freight last Thursday. It's to replace the folding table from Wally World that is the current cutting table. It came in pieces, so I gave Grey a hand by holding all the bits as he screwed them together. There's a decent LED light on the top and the bottom shelf is going to be really handy for storage. I'll post a pic next week of what it looks like set up in the craft grotto.Wednesday, April 19, 2023

A*B*C*D by La-D-Da is finished. This is the only pic which shows the fabric color correctly. Dyeing this color was one of those "had a wild hare" moments where I just added kept mixing yellow, tan and brown Rit dye until I had the yellow ochre color I wanted. Then it sat in the stash until the right project came along.
