I usually make crumb blocks that are a mixture of anything and everything. But when I made the Orange Peel quilt, I had all these tiny bits of orange fabrics left, plus I made at least two or three sets of the pumpkins seen here...you may have to scroll down just a bit.
So save all the scraps and stitch them together at odd moments. I have no idea what I will eventually use thee pieces for. I have used a few bits in make other things. I only sewed on a couple of these tonight.
The apron is finished and I don't know if I will ever wear it. I do not like how it feels on at all. Well, I say finished...I have not sewn the neck strap on. The patter calls for one, and calls for both ends to be sewn. I think I am going to make a second till it can be adjusted. But I don't know if I will ever wear it. It is that bad.
I did my walmart run today...and that is about all. Other than some of the usual chores.
I have something lost in the mail...it was supposed to come last Friday but decided to disappear...there has not been an update on it since the 8th. It is a small package, so who knows where it ended up.
Calves are just so adorable! Been ages and ages since I have actually got up close and personal with one. But I would sure like the opportunity.

It rained last night...and really hard part of the time. Then today Roger had an appt to have blood drawn to do kidnery function test. I was hoping the rain would be over, and it was except was misting when we had to leave but by the time we got headed home, not even that.
Let me tell you about this visit...not so much the visit but the parking lot part of it. So we have a handicapped parking permit, but the handicapped parking spots do not have the extra wide space between spots. So no getting the wheel chair through and opening the car door wide open. There is one spot if you happened to get it it would work. But I have never been so luck. Which is okay....I can walk. I never use it just for myself.
So I get a bit far away from the doors and park where there is an open space beside me and since there are parking spaces close to the doors, I just pray no one parks next to me. There is no way that Roger can walk from the back of the car up to the door.
But that is beside the point. The place I parked, the pavement comes right up to where the spaces begin, and then it is different. The spaces are pavers. So, I get the wheel chair out and get it up to Roger, he gets in, I back him away till I can shut and lock the doors...turn him around and it is a slight incline...and am pushing him and hit the lip where the pavers meet the asphalt...it really jarred him. I did not dream the edge had that much of a difference that the wheel would not go over it easily. Even if they are the smaller front wheels.
Not only that, I stepped on the back to lift the front up and proceeded forward and it does take effort to push...and I proceeded to trip over that lip myself! If I had not been pushing him and have hold of the wheel chair, I would have fell so hard. I don't even like to think about it. I did get tickled...and went on.
Of course there was a truck waiting for us to get by...so no way did I escape being seen....

For your viewing pleasure I leave you with this one. It is funny, I had the past 2 or 3 videos all pop up within a couple days and now have not seen one worth posting for several days.
I might should have tried to lighten the view a little, but since I have done uploaded her, I am not going to mess with her. If I remember her hubby will be posted over on my other blog.
Us girls went to Hobby Lobby today. Two things stood out. It was not very crowded for a Saturday, and it did not seem like they had as much as usual. Maybe they had done been slammed Thanksgiving weekend. I did buy something and may at some point post it. I did not think to do it tonight.
We are having a heatwave compared to what we have been having. I actually walked to the mailbox in my shirtsleeves this afternoon. And supposed to be up in lower 50's on Monday, which is good cause Roger has an appt for labs.
I will go forever and not have any videos to post, and then happen to find several. This one will make you chuckle. One of my daughters says there is a longer one but I have not taken the time to look for it.
