Catching My Breath

…just a little.

The Bebe Mommas have put in orders for custom-made hospital gowns for their ‘confinement’. My plan was to sew on Youngest Daughter’s this weekend. Friday it appeared that Grandbebe Two might arrive on the scene a bit earlier than expected.


Well. That was going to save me the trouble of making at least one!

Not so. False alarm.

And with a ‘buy’, there was nothing for it but to think of it as a second chance that had to be taken! One custom made gown is now fait accompli. And delivered...so to speak. But I completely forgot to take the intended photo. Oh well.

Monarda's doing fine this year!

Before the sewing time, there was yard time. Time spent trimming, deadheading, weeding, in general maintenance and re-acquainting…seeing what was blooming, doing well, what was spent, what needed thinning. I picked up the iris rhizomes I ordered in June, and will plant them after the Grand-pup leaves, who we are watching for just a few days for Only Step Son.

I quilted. The hoop has been removed. I am finishing up quilting on the edge of the quilt with a bit more to do. Next task will be the binding. Good progress there, and I will post photos, but am going to wait until it is finished.

So yeah. Lots done and feeling good about it. Still some things on my ‘To Do’ list, but there always will be.

Just catching my breath.
