I was hoping that there would be very little wind so I could work on SnowWhite's rust spots, but as two of the supplies I will be using are sprays, it doesn't seem like it's going to happen today.
I may be able to work on the yard a bit...fencing four bushes, thinning out hosta plants and with rain in the forecast both weekend days, possibly feeding several plants. I also need to do a bit of grocery shopping and clean out the fridge. Does your fridge get overwhelmed with leftovers? My does even though we are very conscious about eating the leftovers before making more! I don't know...maybe leftovers have a life of their own!
Earlier this week I showed journal covers I made with scrap fabric on batting. Well, as most quilters will tell you, we all have enough scraps to last decades so I decided to continue using batting with fabric scraps. This time I made a long strip of batting and sewed the scraps to it...
This strip is about ten feet long. Here it is rolled up...
One of the ways to make fabric scraps strips was to attach them to adding machine tape...but then you have to take the paper tape off. I thought that it would be easier to cut strips of batting instead. I can continue to make these and then when I have enough, I can make them into a quilt with the batting already attached!
Last weekend I also worked on making paper pockets to add to my journals. First by folding them into appropriate sizes (using scrap paper)...
And then decorating them...
I was listening to a recommended book segment on 'Morning Joe' this morning and I was somewhat surprised that something which we are trying to do elevate now was just as important centuries ago...basically, time. Today you can find professionals, internet sites, and everyday ordinary folks advocating mindfulness and slowness and 'stopping to smell the roses'!
Seneca the Younger, written around 49 AD argued that humanity's most important, precious, non-renewable resource was our time. And yet people wasted their time on greed and busyness!
I find it interesting that after centuries, we still need reminding that time is the most important resource each of us has. I know that I need that reminder more than once. How about you? Let's each of us make a promise to ourselves to cherish that time this weekend in someway.
Have a great day and an enjoyable, time cherishing weekend...
Talk with you on Monday...
