Not All Silence is Golden

I have been overly silent these last few months.




As I sit here thinking, I am having trouble remembering what I have been doing. Painting the house for one thing -- nothing creative just slapping new paint over old on the exterior of the house. It does look better now. I've got a bit more to do before the rains come rumbling in, but it really does look better.

I've done some gardening -- pretty basic, but I have tomatoes and some other veggies. I have also been thwacking away at the various outrageously tall hedges with which my yard abounds.

Before my sewing machine went virtually belly up, I finished a couple of quilts and even exhibited some. I also sewed a skirt -- following pattern!

More recently, along with the painting and yard work, I have been covering various notebooks with a variety of papers. The gluing is relaxing and I will shortly have a goodly supply of useful notebooks.

I will be posting pictures soon, of the things I mentioned and the projects just now in the thinking stages, and I'll be doing more creating as well. I am always happier when I am making and designing something.
