Enjoying this beautiful day outdoors stitching the binding on the Minnie Mouse placemats while visiting with the dogs! I tried to take a chair to the front steps but too heavy for me. So finally the sun moved behind the porch on the back deck. But THEY stay in the sun!
Today was an awesome outdoor relaxation. Well here are the two placemats taken at Saturday's retreat show n tell. And one, now two, that have their binding sewn down, only four more to go before finishing.

What a beautiful time of is our spring, lovely warm and rained overnight - perfect, and very little pesky bugs as yet. Breakfast on the deck is awesome!!! The dogs checking out the wet yard scouting the perimeter!!! Listening to the birds and crickets during the lulls in the crazy traffic! Later this afternoon I'll visit Sylvia for her help in sewing in a proper zipper into Edna's pillow as the one I brought to retreat was too big and awkward.
Interesting, but not sure about the cost of oranges? Maybe those on clearance racks?
Relaxing after my visit to Sylvia's and getting Edna's pillow cover zipper sewn in, mucho better lighter weight zipper. I'm on the deck listening to a very sweet bird singing but can't spot the bird, plus crickets or frogs. I'm just about finished hand stitching the fifth placemat, one left in the bag while watching hockey on my phone as the TV keeps freezing every 10-20 minutes and has to be reset, no patience for that. Wonder if I'll get the sixth one stitched tonight or my fingers need a rest???
Move inside and warming up stitching the last one, watching hockey too.
OOOOOHHHHHH!!!! I knew I forgot something, my earplugs! These two are having a snoring contest and definitely not in sinc!!!! Louder than the hockey game!!! SHEESH!!! 🫨
A little bit spotted. 10:32pm Oak Bluff.
Some more night sky taken 10:45 to 11:15pm
I wanted to stay put on that country road but heard dogs barking and various cars coming and going, even though the action was increasing. And zippo from the house.

This is not a good day for me! I wanted to go to two small city quilt shows but Bubba would not cooperate to stay gated inside. I've tried since 11am with treats, Taunya's door trick, teased him with giving Dahli treats (he was barking like crazy outside but wouldn't come in) and sat outside trying to coax him to me and maybe cart him inside, nothing worked. Well it's 3pm and all I have is flies inside but no Bubba, so closed the door, opened the doggie door and am on the couch crying, hope he comes in soon. I just saw a severe tstorm warning for Winnipeg, that's all I need!!! I HATE storms and for the first time doggie issues!!!
May 12th
YEAH!!!! Even though my fingers are sore with some deep needle holes, I've completed all my hand stitching! Yes the six placemat bindings and Edna's pillow piping has been stitched in place too! Hopefully next week I can deliver them! YEAH!!!
It's going to be a rough day for asthmatic individuals today as the wildfire smoke hangs around. I was out briefly with the dogs and decided no breakfast on the deck for me. Hope it improves soon and the fires controlled or put out!!!
Wishing all your Mom's a lovely day, spoil her well!!!
Well as far as I'm and my body is concerned this is another great use for a bicycle besides a planter yard decor. See my collage in comments.
Here's what I like!
Ohhh yummy!!!! Will have to try this!
Okay, I decided to finish my stitching and do some fine tuning on Edna's pillow from ACQs retreat weekend. It's lovely! So I searched the web and Edna chose her saying, I embroidered it, and she sewed up the front and back. Then the pillow with Sylvia's and some of my help.
I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ it lots!!! Here's the front and back.
It's turning out to be a nice evening I hope. The smoke is lifting and easier breathing. Bubba was totally his usual self, note to myself NOT TO MESS WITH ROUTINE, and promptly allowed me to gate them before leaving for a couple hours. I had to see if his cuddling said he forgave me and would behave! YEAH!!!

Yowsers, I remember barking but not this high pitch telling me it's supper time!!! Thank goodness no ones walking by here or they'd think torture was going on!!! 😆
Then afterwards, BOTH at the same time, are gnawing on their own chewies next to me!
