I've Been Sewing

I have been procrastinating, sewing for the last week and it didn't seem like I had much to talk about. Now that I have decided I should do a post even if it is short it seems that I have more to say than I thought.

Ian came back with his moose tag and with the help of his Dad and Uncle Tom managed to take a moose home this trip.  They were out Thursday, Friday and finally midday Saturday were successful.Ian stayed until Monday meeting with a fellow at the Mosaic mine as a part of his new job.

Wednesday Lynn arrived for a few days of sewing.  It was fantastic.  She worked on quilt tops.

I worked on tea cosies.  I had delivered mitts to HMH the last time I was in the city but hadn't made any cosies for the Christmas season. I spent the better part three days making cosies to send with Lynn.  After Lynn left with the tea cosies I had a pent up need to work on quilts.  I pulled out some squares I had cut out about last Feb. before I had to pack for the move.  I now have a toddler quilt in size and colour ready for quilting.  I am also in the process of machine quilting a couple of scrap tops that I pieced when I first got my sewing space set up.  All is good.

When Lynn was here there was a fund raiser for the community centre, Girls Night Out.  We had been invited by Maureen. The roads were a bit hazardous for a couple of city girls, but into town we went. The theme was a fashion show of wedding dresses through the ages.  They had 42 dresses from the 1930's to present day.  They finished the show with a traditional wedding outfit worn by women in India and the outfit Pat's great-grandmother Inga wore for her wedding in Sweden in the late 1800's.  A very nice evening.

As I mentioned it snowed while Lynn was here.  We went out for a walk and it was glorious.  Pat carried the camera and takes credit for these photos.

Renovations continue to progress.  A couple more light fixtures up and Pat is working on some trim today. The trim will make a huge difference, it will cover up the raw edges of the drywall and the rooms will lose their unfinished look.

I don't think I will ever tire of the sunsets that we see out the kitchen window.  Such incredible beauty.

I hope you don't either as there seems to be a photo that I have to include every other post.  This was last evening.
