I feel like I have been busy all day yet look back and don't feel like I accomplished much at all. I did laundry...I swear there is someone that comes and wears our clothes for us. I am always amazed at the amount of laundry I do. Yet, when I really think about it, I think I only did one load all last week. So, maybe I am not doing as bad as I think I do. The two loads did today did not leave enough to do another load of everything left combined.
I also replaced a pocket in a pair of shorts. Let me tell you, I am glad no one sees the pocket...it is definitely not your finest looking pocket, but the best I could do with the pair of shorts. They were a pair of Roger's old work shorts with an elastic in the waist and I was not about to undo all that sewing when elastic was involved. I did do some ripping, and then cut the pocket off at the top and replaced it.
And while I was down there I cut the sashing for my baby quilt which I have not touched since I posted a pic of the finished blocks sometime last week. Later I went back and almost got the whole thing sewn together. Just a few more long lines of sewing and the top will be almost totally done.
That has about been the sum of my day--tomorrow I am going to Sarah's for a while.
those are really lovely. I should take a photo of the ones I see on my way to town.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I live close to Mansfield as well.....in Ontario though!!

That is nice yard art. I pass by a place in New York occasionally that has various works of art in the yard. It seems a piece gets added frequently. One day I want to stop, knock on the door and ask if I can please walk around the yard photographing their yard art.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I wouldn't mind having something like that in my yard. I thought they were real when I first looked at the photo. Sounds to me like you accomplished a lot!
ReplyDeleteHi Rose, I'm not much for Yard Art (at least the tacky stuff)--but those you showed in the pictures today do look more real. I think it helps having the grass in front of them also.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you have a wonderful time today --seeing your precious granddaughter.
Hugs,

Out in South Dakota, there is a huge metalwork of a man leading a dinosaur on a leash. I like that one, too. Yours are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteMy laundry goes like that. I think I do it constantly, but probably I'm just a touch compulsive when I see clothes in the hamper!
They make a fine addition to that yard. I like that they have some grass around them to add to the realism.
ReplyDeleteNow that is yard art that I can appreciate. They do look real...very well done!
ReplyDeleteThat is some very realistic yard art. I can understand why you do a quick double-take when you first see them.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you fix pockets.
Very beautiful---Very realistic through the grass.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder about the laundry too. MB
I agree, very real looking! There are some fake deer in a yard between here and town and I still find myself doing a double-take. Thanks for the pictures!
ReplyDeleteThese really do look almost real!
