Nigerian Raspberry (?) Check out the number of bud stalks, Dearest Sister!This is a list I started about Tuesday of this week. How well did I do? Let's review, shall we?
Complete the socks of magickness, and start another pair. (Hmm…which pattern?)
>I am into the gusset decreases, and not close to needing another pattern!
Graft completed dishcloth. Make progress on WIP.
>Maybe tonight, while watching some TV...maybe not...other things may call my attention.
Make progress on the homespun scarf. (Frogged and restarted in a broken rib pattern)
>Now this got done! I have achieved about 9 inches on this. A photo is in the future!
Check out Miss Muffett pattern; wind yarn (oh boy!); gather supplies.
>This morning I looked at the yarn I am going to use...
Spin five-eight rolags of alpaca. (Or more!)
>About 3-4 rolags got spun. I don't remember if I did one or two Thursday.
Make cards for June birthdays, and Father’s Day.
Make cards for June birthdays, and Father’s Day.
>Ummm...not yet...
Line up a couple of photoshop tutorials to work through.
>Pushed off ...again...
Clean and oil sewing machine. (Also check out brand of treadle machine.)
>Singer not cleaned and oiled, BUT...(please ignore the dust...not my forte!)
(It's says 'Blue Grass', and I have the shuttle and about 5 bobbins! Check out the embellishment on the head.)Plant new plants.
>Partly done.
Repot sansevieria.
>Yeah, baby! Complete and finito!
Lest I forget. There’s the neighborhood garage sale next Saturday…so maybe these should be goals for…the immediate future. I do like open-ended scheduling. So much less pressure!
>All the stuff for the sale is in the garage and dusted (ick! See above.), cleaned, and ready for pricing. Pricing will happen after work this next week. I just ran out of steam. I am so grateful for Wonderful Guy's help.
So I look at it this way. I don't have to go to the effort of making a list this next week. This one should suffice very well!
My lists are guidelines now, and no longer serve as whipping posts showing me what I haven't achieved. I do the best I can, and try to be at peace with that.
And now for some parting shots of May, iris currently blooming...

Thanks for the photos of the iris!
Your machine is very similar to mine, though mine doesn't have the same type of stitch adjuster over the bobbin winder. Same bobbin winder, though. Mine shows a lot more wear and doesn't have such a deluxe cabinet. I think yours is probably newer - very elegant embellishment! DS
Beautiful new iris and what a gorgeous machine that is! Did you inherit it or purchase it somewhere? If only I could sew...
