Happy Sunday
Hard to believe how far the mercury on the thermometer has climbed since last week at this time.
I had no idea what plans Dennis had for the day, so I played it by ear. I was in the studio when a reflection in one of the studio’s window caught my eye.
Grandson AJ from Mankato was here checking on his grandpa. Sweet.
I stayed in the studio and let the fellows solve all the issues of the world.
When the back door opened and AJ called down to see if there was anything I needed help with, I took a pause. Then I remembered.
Our pull-chain lamp over the dining room table had called it quits some time ago. We had a new one waiting in the wings and here was a tall fellow to help us out. The only thing I wanted to save was the little Hummingbird that was affixed to the end of the chain and had been a gift. It took all of five minutes and the new hanging lamp and its cord on the ceiling hooks . . . ready to use. This lamp even has a dimmer aspect to it. We are back in business.
I have been muddling around in the studio. I do want to use up a bit more of the cork fabric from Amanda in Bird Island. I do have zippers that now have the zipper pulls on them. My solution: forget about putting a lining in the box end pouches. That is a bit more of a struggle than I need. Dennis has some great grandchildren, one boy and seven girls that I could make some zippered boxed pouches for. Main-streaming the design, I could make them look like pencil cases. I have a plan going for another day.
With all my muddling and piddling around in the studio, I am brave enough to fail at trying something new. Isn’t that what life is all about!
By the way the crab salad is a winner.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
