A little bit of rust...

Visit the past...
All seen in Rockville, Indiana.
*****************
I have basically did nothing but sew today.  We ate leftovers.  We did not go anywhere.  All in all, a wonderful day.

How about you?  Do you enjoy a day where you don't have to do anywhere, or do you need to get out for it to be a good day?

I call this co-operation.

I happened to walk into the dining room, and there on the window was this guy/gal.  I had my camera laying right there, and got a couple different snaps.  It kept closing and opening its wings.  I don't know what kind this is, do you?  It took off and I did not get a good look at the top side.  I am thinking Hackberry Emperor.

Nothing lost today.  So far.  The day is not over:-)

A friend stopped by and informed me they are moving...though we don't visit often, I will miss them.  I will miss just knowing they are there.  But they will only be about 4 hours away, so not impossible to visit.  Shoot, we may end up seeing each other more after the move than we do now.

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.
