"The Crocheter" Wallhanging is FInished

 I finished the wall hanging I am doing as a gift to a friend.  "The Crocheter" finished at 13 1/2 by 18 1/2 inches.

I tried it on my apt. door and it looks okay.  I nearly forgot to add the crochet hook but now you can find it in red above her hands which makes it finished.

It will be a gift for a lady here in the building.  She works on crocheting afghans every day, even at 90.

Have a good day.

SOME PROGRESS ON LATEST WALL HANGING

 I worked on 'The Crocheter' wall hanging this morning.  I need to get it finished soon for my neighbor.  I have 'The Artist' on the drawing board waiting for action.

This is "The Crocheter" now bordered, layered and pinned.  There's not much more to do but I have other things planned for today that are not in the sewing room.

Have a good day.

WORKED ON 'THE CROCHETER' WALL HANGING.

Its been saved in WIPS (Work in Progress) box for a few months, but today I worked on "The Crocheter" which was formally named "The Knitter" since I think it will be a gift to a neighbor who crochets on afghans nearly every day.

Two reasons had it stalled.  One, it needed something more added for interest.  I decided to go with a painting.  I found just the fabric for that addition.  Second, should it be a knitter or not?  The scene certainly works for a lady busy crocheting so I changed the title.

Of course, though the satin-stitching is done, there is lots more to do before its finished; border, layering, quilting, binding.  For now I will set it aside so I can concentrate on doing some cooking this afternoon.

Have a good day.

I WAS ABLE TO HARVEST A LITTLE TODAY.

 I checked thru my garden plot today.  I actually tried to pull out my tomato stakes but not enough energy.   My son tells me he will do that for me this weekend when he visits.  He put them in for me and they are certainly solid.  Its nice to have a son who will do little things for me now and then.

Today I harvested a few things......

I was lucky to get 3 more tomatoes along with Italian parsley, thyme, and chives.  The thyme's aroma is so delightful.  I think that may be the last of the tomatoes.  But on a sweet note, I found 1 sweet pepper growing on each of my 2 plants.  They are still small and green.  I checked the weather report and we may be pretty close to frost temps next week, maybe even on Sunday.  If it looks like frost, I will quickly pick them.

My neighbor who has several Marigold plants posted a note for anyone to harvest what they like.  He will be pruning them out this week sometime.  I cut myself some to brighten my apartment.  They are colorful, but sorry to say they are not aromatic.  Still, its a nice fall look.

One vase of Marigolds.

Have a delightful day.

'GHOST IN A PUMPKIN' WH IS FINISHED.

 Thank goodness I finished another Halloween door hanging.  I have some others, but these are the newest and will be displayed this year with a couple of others.  "Ghost in a Pumpkin" finished at 11 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches so just the right size for my front door.

It always feels good to get another project finished.

Have a good day.

GHOST WH IS PINNED

I finished pinning my "Ghost in a Pumpkin" so next I need to quilt it.  This should measure about 12 by 18 inches when finished....

After this one is finished, I will venture into Xmas Holiday wall hangings.  I know Thanksgiving comes next, but what can you make beyond turkeys and cornucopias and I have enough of those.  My sketching hand is working on Xmas already.

Have a nice day.

MY '3 PUMPKINS' DOOR HANGING IS FINISHED

 Its finished, my "3 Pumpkins" wall hanging.  It measures 18 by 24 inches and is hanging on my apt. door right now.  I am all ready for Halloween.

It always feels good to finish a project.  Next will be another Halloween door hanging.

Have a good day.
