sewing star blocks

Another gorgeous day but we were sore and tired out from yesterday so we did simple things today. I was having trouble with my e reader and went to the store for help but the girl there sent me off to Sony. It was way across town and we didn't want to go . We came home and I figured how to make it work myself. Of course I can't remember what I did. Isn't that the way of the world. But it did download the three items I had bought so I was happy.

I did some sewing after I fixed my  reader. Mrs. Fixit today. The blocks for the star needed fixing so I did that and sewed the squares on but did not press them down because by then I was so tired and still had to make my dinner. But I finger pressed the pieces down before sewing on the second square. It worked fine. First time finger pressing for me and it does save a lot of time. I didn't have to get out the ironing board and the iron.

 
For dinner I made prawns and fettucini with garlic and other spices,as well as  celery , onions which always make their way into my cooking. Good thing I don't bake LOL.

It was good but having stood for some time I was committed to sitting down for  the rest of the day.  And that is what I'm doing right now but still not idle as the blog is taking up my time.Haha.

I see terrible fires in California which are destroying forests and coming far too close to homes. Many evacuations of homes happened this week . The pictures are so frighteneing I can't imagine how terrible the people involved must be feeling. I pray for them.

 

Pretty little spring wall hanging no pattern though. But it does give you ideas for your own wallhanging.

 

 

A beautiful rack of antlers on this magnificent moose. He is amazing but then I do admire the moose.

    I call this Firecat , not too obvious. It is gorgeous but I wonder how they got it that way.

 

Time to go and watch the hockey game. The Canucks are down two games to the Sharks.

Have a great evening folks.

Good night.
