Blustery Day
We seem to be in a wind tunnel today. Gusts from the northwest that are taking anything and everything in its path to the east.
Yesterday seven of us first cousins help Aunt Janet do up her 89th birthday in her own home. The day was spent chit chatting along with quite the variety of foods that each one of us had contributed to. Janet has never had her own children. It seems as everyone there has always been in her corner going decades back.
Of course, we didn’t work with our clocks last night. I think right now there are still two clocks in the house that need to be turned back. It isn’t as if Dennis and I have that much riding on precise timing. Our next important appointment is November 17th. By that time we should have all clocks set correctly and have also adjusted to the change.
With any project in the studio, there has to be a starting point. I don’t have firm plans in mind gong forward as yet. I did know that all the wrinkled t-shirt material had to have Shape Flex ironed to the back. That is where I started. Luella’s mom, Amy, had 
cut some items of clothing helping the cutting process. There aren’t any two pieces cut to the same size. I guess I will worry about that as I get into this project. When Dennis came down, he was amazed how the wrinkled t-shirts looked so different after they had the stabilizer ironed onto them. In the photo, the lower rows of the project actually look as if they could become attractive in a finished blanket. I would be lost without a 24″ x 24″ sheet of Teflon. Putting a piece of t-shirt, right side up, onto the Shape Flex and using the Teflon as a pressing cloth, there is no danger of getting the adhesive gunk on the iron. I have done that a time or two and it’s a coin toss whether the iron can be saved or tossed.
How wonderful that supper is going to be, some of the tuna oven dish that Dennis had fixed for us on Friday. Got to love leftovers. Catch you on Tuesday!
