Happy Friday! Welcome to Blustery World, so typical of Fall and November, yet always a surprise--- we expect warm yet crisp sunny days, as Fall finally begins here at the beach. The wind is blowing so hard I couldn't easily open the deck door for Mo's pre dinner pitstop. And this alert came the other day, what the heck is low water alert? [sandbars/ boats run aground, but still...].
The Googly Eyed Jacks are done and sewed into their quilt center. I gave myself til Halloween Day/ Nov 1 to accomplish that and finished right on time.
Aren't the guys just too cute, if not so pumpkin-y.
I laid them out with their button eye/ teeth finishes, so they look more focused.
I'm not a button sewer---glue gun allowable?
These work pics show colors best, I think.
My pattern doesn't show the border [or that page went lost], but I had my heart set on a jig jag border. Will use flying geese instead of paper piecing the pennant shapes.
I plan to use my beautiful Halloween fabrics from Two Thimbles.. Tough to cut into, but each set of four geese only uses 5 1/2"square.
I do like the result so far.
I thought I'd be putting them aside til next fall, but so so close to being all complete. Probably poor Ark will rotate to end of line instead.

Got sidetracked today w a dolly outfit. My little friend chose the Ladybug fabric
and requested "Bows" she could tie, because she is ''obsessed'' with having learned to tie her shoes recently. A child of Crocs, flipflops, UGGs and Velcro sneakers, she suddenly wanted to wear tied sneakers and needed to be able to tie them. So funny. My dad taught my kids to tie their shoes, so I had no advice to offer.
Dolly outfit made!
Mo has had a fairly good week. He is still wanting to be on the deck, baffled by the chill and gale winds, and my reluctance to sit out with him. Poor mite is back on his diet, he gained a pound. Oh the shame.
Back soon, have a great weekend.

gone to the beach...
too windy to walk, here's my desk view of the ugly locust tree.

Cold and blustery at the ocean sounds too cold for me! I've never heard of a low water advisory. It looks like it didn't last too long, though. It was strange when we were at the ocean there were flood warnings. I expected people to be responding with alarm but they basically ignored them. We did too.
ReplyDeleteYour Jacks are just too much fun. Their faces are so expressive. Some almost look spooked or worried by the idea of Halloween. Great colors!
What an adorable doll outfit. She will love those ties!
