A few are passing through....

We drove through the strip pits today and saw these White-fronted geese along with a few Canadian geese.  We were happy to see anything.  We also saw one Northern Harrier and one deer.

Tootie is coming tomorrow to stay two or three days with us...so not sure how much blogging I will get done. 

For some of you new to this blog, Tootie is our granddaughter, Lorelei.   I thought I would leave you with a smile....the video below is from Feb of 2011.  It always makes us smile...

And some more stitched items...

This is going to be a little quilt to lay across the back of Roger's recliner.  I have had this part finished for a while now, it is just a matter of getting it layer and quilted.

 And here I made two more little mug mats...I did one one day and another another day...while killing time waiting to go to therapy appt. yesterday and   doctor's appt. today.  Please ignore all the stray threads on the design wall.  I was just hurrying to take the photo and didn't take time to clean them off.

I have tried 3 different ways of doing the binding and not completely happy with any one of them.  But they are mug mats and I am not going to worry too much about it.

We had a downpour of rain.  I know we need it, but so wish some of the places that have the wildfires would get some, too.

A little stitching...

The other day I sat down at my sewing machine for a little while...and I stitched a couple mug mats/coasters.  They are just big enough to set a coffee cup or glass of iced tea on...Or a cold can of coke.   They are 5 inches scare and just some snips of fabric, and the binding was binding left over from quilts.  I was glad to find a use for the binding.  I made another one yesterday but have not photographed it.  Oh, sorry for the quality of the photo...shot with my cheap phone.

We had a warm day here today...but of course had therapy appts so didn't do anything else.  Other than cooking and dishes.  Hopefully tomorrow I will get a something done...even if it is just another mug mat.
