All of the pincushions bases are complete (10) and stuffed with eco friendly crushed walnut shells. The company says that it's allergy free, right on the bag.... I may need to call just to make sure with today's nut allergies! This is such a journey for me, I have been away from sewing and patterns for so long, it's like each step is a relearning of something old. Not a lot of "muscle memory" left I guess.... The first critter I went to sew, fell apart...LOL....all the seams blew out. If that wasn't enough all on it's own, trying to remove the freezer wrap was a nightmare. I think that is why I stopped using it in the first place. But then, a grand idea went off. If you iron it on, why can't you iron it off? It worked somewhat, but I think I will go back to my graphite and air erasable pen.... Sheesh. The pattern calls for a kat to sit on the pincushion.... I drafted a dogs head to fit the body and just this morning realize that I need to design a bird to "put on it."..... LOL...
We got more rain last night and I was out in the yard, again this morning, removing encroaching olive tree volunteers.... Currently I am sitting at my dining room table listening to and looking at a most beautiful bird....wish my camera would take a better picture through the window than it does and you know by the time I get out there, he will fly away (of course it's a he, because he is so colorful).... I need to dig out my birds of the southwest book....
Well today I get needled (acupuncture) and then it's back to cats and dogs, maybe today I'll get to the bird!... Have a great day!
