What’s on my DESIGN FLOOR, October 29, 2012
Posted By drsao on October 29, 2012
Today will be a sewing day…………NO SCHOOL TODAY because of Hurricane Sandy. We are prepared………FFCCOP……that is my pneumonic for turning the generator on…….
FILL the gas tank carefully through the FILTER
if it is COLD flip on the CHOKE
Flip the ON switch
AND…ta da PULL the cord
Come to think of it maybe I should add an extra P on the end……PRAY!
While we still have electricity I am going to sew – we are in the midst of the CALM BEFORE THE STORM…….so we have BATTENED DOWN THE HATCHES.
Here is my progress on CATHERINE’S BASKETS.
I named it this because Catherine cut out the basket blocks!!! YEAH!
Catherine’s Baskets
The little appliqued flower is made from outgrown jeans from my grandangels……speaking of which…..look who scared me in my sewing room!
Grandangels Cooper and Sarah
Sarah is a character from DR WHO….here she is wearing my Mother’s TRENCH COAT……her full costume.
Grandangel Leanna was in the SLAUGHTER HOUSE at BLOOD LAKE….spooky!
When the electricity goes off I will work on my SCRAPPY GRANDMOTHER’S GARDEN.
Scrappy Grandmother’s Garden
When my fingers get sore from sticking myself so many times (TRUST ME – this will happen) I am going to work on disassembling my mother and daddy’s shirts to put into quilts……….OH DEAR…..I guess I had better iron them RIGHT NOW while I still have electricity!
One thing that I know for sure, I will not be napping……my bed is taken!
Midnight, Cuddles and Hannah with RUBY – who thinks that she is a cat too!
