Back at It

Today after enjoying coffee on the front deck, I began making plans for the studio.

As I sat looking about the neighborhood, I couldn’t help but notice the leaves on the trees are cupped, hoping to catch so dew.  Well . . . as dry as it has been, I don’t think we hold out hope for dew that heavy.

I had been catching some YouTube videos in regard to fabric project bags with zipper closures.  Hmm.  I could use one of them for my counted cross stitch project.  My bag would be 16″ across by 14″ deep before sewing seams.  The instruction pamphlet can easily slide in without crinkling it.  First thing I knew I would need is a zipper at least 16″ long.  I happened to have a lime green 24″ zipper.  The length can always be cut off.  The next item to check on is the box that holds green fabric.  Yup, I have some of that.  The bags are lined.  I also have some of the Fusible Wonder-under iron-on for stiffening.  Gotta love a full service studio.  I have completed the fabrics that needed cutting out.  The Fusible Wonder-under is also ironed onto the fabric of the back of the printed fabric of the bag and also the back of the front of it as well as also the smaller shorter front fabric that the zipper is sewn onto as well as the shortened front piece.  That was all for today folks from the studio.  Tomorrow is another day.

I do want to read a bit this afternoon in my “cherry” red chair.  Thanks editor! Tee Hee!

Dennis and I have agreed on supper, which is always a good thing.  Chopped up pre-cooked meatballs, warmed up left-over instant mashed potatoes combined in a heated skillet.  Just before all is heated through, an egg put on the top of said mixture and give it all a toss so the egg has a chance to scramble.  We call it a smorgasbord.

Rest well all that have had a good run of this week.
