Without flash, with flash--today's project

I finally made up my mind I was either going to make a zippered pouch or quit thinking about it...

I did not have a pink zipper on hand, but had green, blue, red, orange, and this yellow.  So, I chose yellow.  Since it was my first time making this boxy-pouch, I wanted to use what I had on hand.

The first two photos are without flash--the last is with.  The real color--somewhere in between.

I used this video by Melanie Ham to make this project.

Oh, and BTW, I finally found the organza I have spent so much time looking for.  Up here under the extension table of this sewing machine up here.  I thought I had brought it up here, and looked in the drawers I have dedicated to sewing.  So thought I had just remembered wrong and still left it in the basement in the drawers down there.  I am so relieved to have found it.

Etc.

I have posted this graph before...but it so fits my day.  Actually could have used it one day this weekend.  Between the two days, I have spent hours looking for this piece of organza or voile...don't really know which it is.  I think organza.  I have had it for years, and used a little bit of it.   And I wanted to use it in an fabric collage thing I have been meaning to try for ages.  But could I find it..no!  I have always kept it in a drawer, not with my quilting fabric.

This little critter is still living in my flower garden.  I think it is just a tiny bit fatter than when shown here.  I wish I could figure a way to show you its web.  it is almost as if it has built it as a cage around itself.  there is web in front of it and there is the web behind it.

My hyacinth bean....I don't know who the resident is.  I did not notice it when I took the picture.

Unpredictable day

We got up to an overcast day...I thought, well, I cannot hang any laundry out.  And up in the morn, Roger decided to head to Terre Haute for some dry ice.  I had to get on line and find a place to get some...found it after the second call, though it was not crushed.  So looked a while longer to try to find it in crushed form, but no luck.

It had turned sunny by then, but I didn't know if it would last...but it did.  So, when we got back I hurried and did a load and hung them out.  Thinking I could just forget about them till late.  They had been out about an hour and seemed almost bone dry...I fooled a bit more and decided to run to the grocery.

Now, it is a good thing I can be there in 5 minutes, and was in and out in probably half an hour.  When I came out of the store, it had darkened up, the wind was blowing, and you could almost feel the rain in the air.  I did not speed on the way home but I sure wanted to.

 I hurried and brought my bags in, and ran back out to gather the clothes in...took them down to the dryer for a few minutes....I did not stay down there to pull them out...but came on back up and it was raining. But could now see the sun.  And that is what it did yesterday evening about this time.  I was so glad I  had hurried through the store...I just hate my clothes getting rained on.

That is about as adventuresome as it gets around here...and I am not complaining at all.
