If I don't get to see Baby J soon, I'm going to go crazy.

I never think I'm all that busy until I look at this blog. This is another thing I'm doing. I dyed the top layer with black beans and the bottom layer with avocados. Stitching it Alabama Chanin style...

I do like weaving, and tried a new technique today with lots of strands of thin yarn for the weft. Still trying to get a good placemat design.

My sister Sta is starting a business with Kel and this is their logo. I carved it in clay so I can make some mugs for them!

I did another thing. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought 5 yards of this blue fabric and recovered this old chair! It's a slip cover-type job, stapled at the bottom and behind the cushion. It is more comfy to sit in too. Now to keep the cats from tearing it up.

I'm growing cotton again! It's so pretty when it flowers, and I love seeing the bolls develop.

So today I did a thing. I framed some family photos and moved the book case and the cat tree and hung the photos. It looks so much better, and I will keep adding to the family photos!

My friend LACA wrote over 500 songs this past year. She started when lockdown started. She performed 20 of them downtown tonight. It was so good!

I'm going to be doing a series of workshops on crafts at the local art museum to go along with their exhibit called Crafting America.

Facetime with Baby J is the best thing in my life right now.

My sunflower is SO tall! I've got cotton and zinnias in there too.

I bought this bed from someone for $100 and really like how it dresses up the guest room.

7-16-21

the cats approve of the reupholstered couch. Now to keep them from scratching it to pieces.

7-15-21

not sure I like how the cats turned out.

I decided to go back on WW, weighing 159 this morning.

Today was epic. We took Sakura and her boys to the airport in Atlanta but they missed their flight. This train, an accident on I-85, and long lines in security caused it. So, we waited around ATL for 5 hours and then brought them back to Auburn to spend another night.

7-9-21

Me and Sakura in the backyard!

I felt well enough to work on my couch some more and finished the cushions.

We got home last night and today I went to see my sisters at my mom's house. They were eating smoked salmon. It's not a great picture,  but it's what I have.

Baby J and his great grandma in the chair that belonged to his great great grandmother.

Today Jes turns 35. Do you think she looks like her baby J?

It's the fourth of July. I'm wearing a shirt I just finished hand sewing. J is wearing a new outfit!

I took J outside into the grass for a photo session. He is wearing a new outfit I bought him.

Dinner tonight at Dan's brother's house and we got a photo of four generations. Dan's parents, us, Jes and Jef and J.
