Whatcha Working On Wednesday

I am once again participating with Leslie in Whatcha Working On Wednesday . This morning will go by all too fast and then it will be time for potluck and cards with the women of my family. We are still doing school, and therefore my time is almost nilch in the morning and early afternoons....however, I am going to start a new hand sewing project. I should be spring cleaning like Leslie has been doing....I want to throw it all out and have just the "bare necessities". Well........maybe not "all" of it.........and that's what gets me into trouble! I am way too sentimental about all my stuff. (we could die from non lack of stuff here...........) lol....... Anyway, I am part of a primitive swap group, and these are the first ornies I made to swap.........

with the coffee stain on them, ready to go in the oven

fresh out of the oven

after they had been sanded

They turned out to be much too small. So I am keeping them for myself................

I was looking for a bird pattern......was just playing around thinking of summer time things I could make for my swap group......(still trying to find the right prim ornie) This is also a "freebie" and I think it needs a pin keep under it..........this is before the coffee stain. (it is in the oven as we speak)

It was very easy to make, in fact I hand sewed it in my motel room last week .

This is my sewing project that I want to start today while LBC is researching his Social Studies project. What I have in mind are small little pillows stitched on linen, that will hang on a nob somewhere. These are both "freebies" also. The angel one is from Robin at http://birdinthehandprimitives-robin.blogspot.com/

and the americana is from Twigs at

Thanks you again Robin and Twigs for these "freebies" we all love to get them!

And lastly are my watermelon slices. I made myself a pattern and tried one.

before coffee stain.....

this is after.......

I think I like them. So I plan to make some wedge pieces to go with the slices. These will go in my old bucket on my front porch.

I have a few more bedding plants that need to be put in the ground. Yesterday was warm, but the w i n d blew and my ears were so full of dirt by the end of the day! Today is a carbon copy of yesterday, with the one exception. It's colder.

So those are my plans for today, what are you working on ????

You should join Leslie and go see what everyone else is doing!
