Keep Moving
It is chilly out and as I listen to KNUJ, it could easily feel like a minus temp. I am in the studio. I keep on moving from one side of the church tables to another and do not feel the chill.
Listening to YouTube videos, I had picked up a tip for filling pincushions. Leave it to Amazon to deliver to our front door two bags of 11 oz. each of crushed walnut hulls with some lavender seeds in the mix. Three of the four stitched items were filled with the hulls. The fourth had to settle for a poly fill as I didn’t want to open the second bag of hulls. I enjoyed the stitching and will enjoy knowing there are no UFOs. No unfinished objects, aka: pincushions. I am waiting for the small openings to dry from using the E6000 glue to dry. I love that versatile glue. Kersten and I used some of it quite a few years ago to put the cement antlers back on the concrete deer. Still holding strong.
I scrounged around and have some trim to put around the edges of the stuffed pincushions. Going first class the whole way. Keeping busy is enjoyable for me. I do manage to feel that I have worn myself out at the end of the day. Perfect.
In between time, I have a pork steak in the oven for supper. I used up the half onion I had plus spreading some Ragu tomato sauce over it that was a leftover from last week’s chili. Ragu is not the ultimate but I don’t have the variety of spices on hand. Dennis is in charge of the instant mashed potatoes. His appetite is not the best some days, but the milk and butter plus the protein in the potatoes is usually a win for him.
I am going back to the pincushion project. That will take me to supper. It might also be time to start another book in my bedroom porch this evening.
With that I take my leave. ♥
