Feels so good to put these in the done category...not sure what I will start on next. But I have a couple ideas. If something else doesn't pop up. Maybe I will get to start on something tomorrow.

As I was choosing the label for this post...well, for the sewing, I also saw the link 'The Far Side'...and I thought 'what the heck is that about?' So I opened another tab and checked it out. If you want a really feel good story, read The Off Season.
When Sarah and I made the pillowcases seen here, she had got enough of the fabrics to make another pillowcase for her home. So, I decided to start on them yesterday. There are actually 7 of them...not sure if where the other two were when I took this yesterday.
Yesterday was spent trimming the fabric to make the ends straight. and the rolls done...and I actually got that line of stitching done.
After our morning trip to Hardee's I came home and did a bit of the usual chores, plus made a pot of chili, then I went down to the basement and actually vacuumed some down there. Then I started and worked on these pillowcases again. I got them all pulled right side out...I make them basically the way Tea makes them in this video....
If I can get to work on them tomorrow, I should finish them...then will feel free to start on something else.
That being said, I am so wanting to have time to take a drive....I would love to go to Goose Pond or to the Heron Viewing Park north of Danville, Illinois. And I would love to go to Willow Slough, but never know what effect a longer trip like that will have on Roger. He tires so easily.
I just have to share a video with you...it is not very long so it won't take up much of your day.
You should have heard Lorelei when she watched this last night...she laughed till she cried. There was another one she laughed as hard at but it is longer so I won't show both today. Besides, there will be a video over on my Time Stand Still blog, just in case you want to see it. The link to my blog is over there at the top on the right side bar

Lorelei spent the night again last night, even though she had to go to school today. She was on a two hour delay. Shortly after she left, we headed out to breakfast at Hardee's, then to Paris to Walmart.
We pass the strip pit area on the way. I was going to go on by, planning to not even drive through. Well, from the highway we can see the BIG strip pit. And it was covered with birds! Swans and geese....both White fronted and Canadian Geese.
I am sorry these are not better quality, but I was having trouble holding still.

We had a change in the weather. I am not sure what the temp got up to today, but as I took the photos above and the video over at my other blog, I only had on a flannel shirt over my regular top. So that is a huge change. And sunshine all day long!
