 Okay, I would say happy Sunday morning. Only it's after two o'clock Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there or moms to be we Had a lot of stuff going on this morning. So I haven't vlogged until now not the least of which is spending a little time with The family our daughter our grandson my sister all of that. We went out and had a really great lunch. I'm so full Got a beautiful bouquet of roses One red rose from the restaurant where we ate at the rest of them are from the children, which was really nice And yeah, we are gonna just sit here. It is blasting hot again outside today and I Don't think we're gonna go anywhere or do much because it's too hot. So anyway, whatever steps I got in I have a feeling I already got him in Yeah, that's not a whole lot so a Wow That's it for the minute. I'll be back. Hey guys. Happy Monday morning. It is Monday morning May 15th. It is 10 30 a.m And We are video editing. That's our primary focus of today unless we get a call from the daughter that she needs help with the baby Otherwise that's our focus so The old one if I don't know how many is rendering right now In between all kish up on my soap over Exciting, I know I'll be back. Okay. I think we have the last video edited and rendering I Hate video editing just FYI. It's not a fun thing to do for me listening to myself blather on Anyway That would be why most of the time I film for the edit so I don't have to sit and listen too much I can I just cut a few things out FYI So I drafted a pattern for and made the first one of it's a cotton Tank top. It's not it's not stretchy cotton. This is woven cotton And I think it looks pretty cute, especially sort of half tucked into these patchwork jeans of mine Of course, you could untuck it. I think it's cuter either belted or fully tucked in or half tucked in But super cute super comfortable and breathable because it's cotton You could make it as a regular tank with the straps or you could make it with a spaghetti strap I put a few pleats here in the front just to give it a little bit of shape, but yeah Pretty cute. I'm gonna make a couple more of these. All right, I'll be back So I made two more of these tank tops this time. I gathered the center front and the front and back and Yeah, super cute. I actually have my big giant Overall tie-dye pant things on which isn't what I would normally wear with this, but they are super cute You could belt it you could tuck it in you could just leave it loose if you want and It's cut so that it's loose enough for me to just put it on and off over my head without buttons or anything even though it's a woven fabric and I can show you because I Have it all over my clothes But yeah, and I think the color is really cute plus the cotton fabrics were 40% off a hobby lobby. So each one of these only cost me about $3 or $4 to make so gotta love that. All right, I'll be back Good morning, everybody. It's just after 10 a.m. On Tuesday, May 16th yesterday my great-uncle Louis passed away and My condolences to his family. He will be greatly missed He was a great guy and sharp his attack until the very end and 98 years old just checking on some things anyway, so you know, he had a good long life Anyway this morning That's right. We're cutting into that old piece of silk This may not work out. It might work out. I don't know But the mock-up For the most part looked okay, so I've got it here laid out on the fabric and We're gonna start chopping Yeah All right, I'm gonna put on a podcast to put an earbud in or Music or something and let's just get started. Okay, you guys the 40-plus-year-old piece of silk is now officially a garment and I think I have enough left over to do some sort of little spigotty strapped silk tank top thing Which I will probably be doing but not today. Wanna see it? Okay, hang on. What do you think? I mean, she's pretty cute It looks sort of like my version of a sleeveless shirt dress Which honestly was what I intended with the silk all along when I bought it Five million years ago Yes, it's silk. Yes, it's gonna be a particularly picky fabric to wear and clean, but That being said, she's kind of cute. She's gonna like linen. It's gonna always be wrinkly So I'm just probably just gonna go with the wrinkles, but Cute and I love the color. What do you think? Mocking up a bag pattern That hopefully is not too big. I can cut out of the rest of that old couch fabric I saw some vintage bags like this made out of leather they were medic bags from World War II and They are very popular with artists. I can see why and It looks like this box and you would put Straps on the back Or loops for straps and there's this lid. What do you think? I think I like it. I think In the next few days, this will be the sewing project I work on. I think anyway Yes, I'm out of the house. You're not seeing things That made my husband chuckle We're headed out to get a few quick steps in before we have dinner. I don't know what we're having for dinner exactly, but I'm not that hungry. Maybe a cup of bone broth. I don't know Anyway We're gonna go get some steps in They took me a little bit to get the camera out because the little ones from next door were outside sharing with us Information about their day. So as they always do. Yeah Anyway, we're gonna go get some steps in if I can find some cool things to take pictures of I'll do that and We'll be back. Good morning everybody It is 944 a.m Wednesday, May 17th, I think. Yeah Tomorrow's our wedding anniversary. Anyway I'm gonna go out and run a few errands Make sure the little ones aren't behind me out in the road Hey guys, it is 435 p.m Thursday, May 8th, I should know the date because it's my wedding anniversary Happy anniversary to Bob and myself Next year we'll be together 40 years This year is our 32nd wedding anniversary. We were married in 1991. Anyway Yeah, so it was a good day. It started off pretty good I went and ran a couple of errands and then went and babysat for a couple hours Which was really great while my daughter and sister went and did a couple of things. So That was that was that was a good thing. I had a lot of fun Anyway Now I'm just sitting up here in the art room. I have another sewing project of course I want to start and it's a painting I want to do but it's hot and It's late and I think I'm just gonna sit here for a bit and enjoy my space because you know Nothing wrong with that. I don't think. All right. Yes, my hair is still wet so I Don't have as much time to work on this today as I thought I was going to because I got to go help the kids Again in a little bit. I may have enough to surge all the pieces, but I Got the blanket coat cut out I'm using simplicity 87 97 I have changed In a little bit. I'm instead of pot in seam pockets. I'm doing patchwork pockets I changed the shape of the collar and the front a little bit to accommodate the quilt and Pillow come shams that I had and yeah, the quilt came with two pillow shams. So you ready? How fun is that? so the collar is out of one of the pillow shams and then I cut everything to be Using the edge of the bias tape that was already on the quilt The only part that isn't going to have that is going to be here on the collar. I'm gonna sew it So the seam is on the underside and then I think I will This has the lining for the Pillow sham on it So I think I'm gonna use that to my advantage and use it to cover up the seam And then I don't have to do any bias tape because I was thinking I was gonna have to bias tape the whole thing Yeah, anyway, I Can't wait for winter now so I can wear it Well, I got to finish making it first, but you know what I mean. All right, I'll be back Hey guys, I got to go help again at the daughter's house and my sister's on my way to come on her way to come Pick me up. It's a long story won't get into it right now. Anyway, nothing bad. It's all good While I was waiting I The blanket coats almost done. I mean, you know It's a little bit on the large size But I wanted it that way because I want to be able to wear it over, you know, sweaters and stuff And so it needs to not fit too tightly That was my take your supplements alarm. Do I want to put buttons on it? I don't know maybe But for the moment, we're all good and then I have to I'll finish it when I get back and then I have to Take a look at the leftover fabric and sort out what I'm gonna keep and what's gonna go in the garbage bin I'm gonna keep just the bigger pieces the small. I'm not gonna keep all of it Just the bigger pieces I could maybe make something out of in the future. So anyway all right because I'm gonna go Basically go sit and help out at the kid's house. I have water bottle And I packed a little bag with my mini iPad and some snacks in it because you know Anyway That's it for the minute. I'll be back.

Anyway, I Helped out at the kid's house today Then I came home and I finished the blanket coat despite the fact that it's like 83 degrees outside and This coat is very warm. I can tell you that right now Here we go. So the coat is done. I put some nice deep big pockets on it. I do have a tie on it In case I want to tie it shut I may at some point put buttons on it puts a couple buttons, but I want the right buttons So and I don't have like I want a giant white button. So I don't have that. So we'll have to see but anyway All right, now I gotta check in. I'll be back. Yes. We're in a car again This is not my car.
