It will be a weekend of watching the tropics. Sydney is home from Gainesville for her first weekend visit, so sewing is not going to be high on the priority list. Kurt was gone all week, and he is back just in time to start following Tropical Tidbits for the latest storm updates. There might be a couple of days off midweek to sew the windy days away. How are your projects all coming along? Misterlinky is below. Please keep us all up to date on your progress.
The weeks blows by in a blur of activity right now. I have kids lined up to sign up for college visits and ask for advice on applications and essays followed by meeting with coworkers and then time to get work done. I've got little guys rummaging for felt and glue for flags. Then there is the administrivia that still comes creeping back. The learning curve is steep, and it is something new everyday. So far I am a big fan of the new job.
The morning sunrise photos are getting just a bit harder to capture as the days get shorter. If the sun rose straight over the horizon, I could still capture it and not get stuck in morning traffic, but with the usual banks of clouds delaying the appearance of the sun, it is often making a late start right now. The clouds do help make such striking colors though. I look forward to finding out what the day will bring each morning.
Sewing is isolated mainly mainly to weekends, but I have not been brining home lesson planning and grading, so there is time now that didn't use to exist. I got the light blue star sewn together and the bright green is waiting for its turn. I have cut out some parts for black and brown stars, but I don't think I have enough fabric variety yet. Grey and black can coexist nicely, I will just have to rummage in the bins to find out what is there. I will pull out another block collection today and take evaluate its progress. I know September isn't really the end of the year yet, but it is starting to feel that way. Holiday plans are just around the corner!
How are your blocks coming along? I know that September isn't the end of the year yet, but I am still starting to enjoy the idea of putting some tops together soon.
A new month! Is there anything more fun than digging into a new bin of scraps! I know we did blue earlier this year, but it is a color that truly needs more time to digest for most of us. When I don't know what color to choose for a gift, I almost always go with blue because it works for everyone. We are waiting on the rocket launch again. It is scheduled for 2:17 today. Hopefully things will go better than Monday. Because we are still waiting for the Artemis, here is a photo of a rocket launch from last September. The halo effect is still one of my favorite visuals.
