We have been quite busy lately. Last Wednesday evening we had a big storm blow through and knock out our power again. We lost two of our very old apple trees and several other trees on the property.
M ran his 100th mile since starting to run with the cross country team on summer vacation. D, P, and I went out and met him for the 100th mile.
He was "really trying" not to let P get home first.
P and I did some sewing on her SewHandy as it was so handy when the power was out. We made a doll apron, a doll pillow, a doll blanket, and a clothespin holder/hanger for HER clothespins. She likes the old fashioned round ones not the "tricky" ones with springs that I use.
The power came back just in time for me to make a strawberry rhubarb pie to take to the neighbors for a Fourth of July cookout. There was a beautiful sunset on our walk home to put P to bed.
This weekend, in addition to helping clean up tree limbs, I made three jewelry pouches for the shop.
I like these little pouches.
The boys have some of this design that they used to keep marbles in. P now wants me to make one for her- she has lots of little treasures. I told her we could make one on HER sewing machine. I have also made some with silvercloth lining. I use one of those for my silver jewelry. It works great; the jewelry says shiny and the pieces don't scratch each other.
