 I would say good morning, but I did that already when I was closing last week's vlog Yeah, I got very Busy doing a lot of things at once yesterday and I was still kind of tired from our trip to California. So I just forgot It happens despite the alarm. I might say I do have a alarm on my phone, but it's so far Anyway, if you do follow my vlog and follow me on social media, you'll know I just finished out of scrap and leftover yarns a Bucket hat from a Jenna Phipps pattern. I will put some pictures here She has a YouTube channel here and I will link her channel down below she does a lot of DIY stuff this it's very inspiring and This week I have some more leftover yarn and I have a pattern from another youtuber whose channel I'll link below Called a moods nude moods nude. Yeah, I think it was the moods nude. It's like a mobius scarf And I'm gonna use it be using some more leftover yarn to make that this week, but first I Need to eat some lunch Yeah, mr. Bob's gonna be working with his cars today and We'll go for a walk later We're still kind of recovering from being exhausted from traveling, but you know the older you get the harder it is to Snap back quickly, right? All right. Anyway, I'll be back. Mr. Bob drag me away from my chair and my crocheting It's about 79 degrees out Sunday afternoon We are going out for a walk To get some steps in trying to make a concerted effort because we've been really bad about it lately And that's what happens when you're traveling Anyway, I'm gonna go see what we can see Before it gets any hotter And then go home and I don't know maybe watch a movie or something We'll see I'll be back Running the faucet and get it to get hot. Oh that did wonders for my hair. Oh my god Um So I Literally took some rags. I kind of draped them on the dress perform before I left And I spent some time this morning After it now that we're back for a couple of days Putting them together with some late random laces that I had in my stash And I'll put a picture here It's kind of cute the way it turned out. I honestly I have no idea if I'll ever wear it I just did it to see if I could Yes, all the scenes are on the outside. That's on purpose. I wanted to be raggedy And if I it does turn out cute and I want to wear it. I think I know what I would wear it with but Others are leaving it like off white and blue. I think we're gonna try to dye it now this Blue part is linen and I've already dyed it once and it came out this color I don't remember what color dye I used on it. It might have been this teal. It might have been something else I don't know. So we're gonna just try it again and see what happens Um, I don't know if all the laces something that's going to take the dye. Well We're gonna just try I'll be back in the vlog Getting that loaded working on mood boards for Archie trio. I Wasn't gonna do this again right now and it's definitely not even dry but oh my god, and the lace didn't take the Dye the same color as the linen which I didn't really expect it to I love the results. Oh my god You guys It's literally scraps and bits of fabric sewn together leave the edges raw more than kind of all right I'm gonna sit and chill for a little bit Bob still working. I also drafted a bag pattern My bag I saw a YouTube channel make I'm gonna put the name here because I'm not gonna try to say it because I'll probably mess it up And I really respect her channel and I don't want to do that. So if anybody knows the proper pronunciation, please let me know anyway She did this really big Over the shoulder bag and I really was intrigued by that I've got extra canvas and stuff and I kind of and denim black. I got a lot of black denim So although I don't carry handbags that much anymore This would be one I might need to make an exception by it because it's pretty cute and really big All right, I'm gonna fit a little small Our kit very easily. All right So the patterns drafted and ready to go but that's for tomorrow's Gina Today's Gina just needs to get the video loaded that's edited for the vlog Hope I took all the music out that was in the background. I Guess I'll find out when it goes live. But anyway And then turn the computer off because yeah All right, I'll be back. All right, so I it's almost lunchtime and I'm working on a bag The bag I mentioned yesterday and I put it out to patrons and supporters Lace or no lace and they said lace so I will show you it when it's done But I'm at the stage where I finally have the lace attached to the outside and I've got the pocket attached to the inside So now it's time to put the zipper in and all of that I don't know if I can get it done be in the next hour or not But I just found out I'm babysitting and I am not mad about it. So Yeah, I'll be back. This is gonna be a great travel bag. Oh my goodness This is fabulous, I love it and so because I made it out of blanket fabric It's super comfortable. Like I mean, I know there's nothing in it, but the strap is nice and wide and squishy so Sorry the son-in-law is messaging me anyway, I got the bag done, which was the primary thing I wanted to do today I am kind of thinking about making another one, but we'll see in the meantime. I'm gonna clean up my mess and at least try to have bone broth before Thomas gets here and Maybe move his bouncer upstairs Because yeah, all right, I'll be back. Okay you guys after watching grandson for the afternoon and evidently That's gonna come become a regular thing twice a week. Can't say I'm mad about it.

Yeah, we have to do our least favorite chore this morning, which is grocery shopping. So And these days it takes at least two sometimes three places to get everything we want. So, you know, there's that So we're going to go hit all three today Costco winco and Trader Joe's You know We have We have things that we want that not every store has. Yeah, it's it's an us thing and not a store thing We own that Anyway All right, so we're going to go get that done. If anything interesting happens, I'll bring you with me But otherwise, I'll see you when we get back So check the mail. Bob is in the backyard working on Removing some more of the pond that is broken And we're not going to fix it anymore. We're tired of fixing it um I'm going to sit on the couch and catch up on some things I needed to do that. I was just too tired to do yesterday one of those things is a um Upcycling and fashion inspiration book um I've been doing so much sewing lately that's re-inspired my love of sewing and I see things all the time that I'm like, oh, that would be cute. I could make that And then I forget what it was So I am doing screenshots saving pictures and Putting them in a composition notebook, which I had in the closet And um, I'll show you a picture. I'll put a picture here. I'm going to go sit and get that put together after I check the mail And uh, I don't think we're going to do a whole hell of a lot today There's a lot on the schedule for tomorrow because it's father's day um But today just getting projects done, which you know It's all well and good. All right. That's it for the minute. I'll be back. Maybe Maybe hold on I'm just such a professional videographer aren't I? Oh So I found this long white maxi skirt This is a woven. This is a knit Yes, I was able to put them together I could add the dress the skirt had a drawstring I thought for a minute about putting them on I don't want to I'll save them for probably for a different project because they're kind of cute little Anyway, but this is cute And comfortable the only thing it doesn't have is pockets, but otherwise I'm pretty happy. What do you think? I did get the idea From a fellow youtuber and I will link her video down below She did a couple of these and hers turned out really cute and anyway Just to give you some ideas, but yeah, I'm pretty pleased I'll be back when I came up here. It was to do something completely different It wasn't to make that dress But on my way up here, I grabbed the things that I bought at the thrift stores yesterday that I want to upcycle And as I was putting them away in our closet of upcycling supplies I Yeah, I don't know now we have a dress. I don't know so Now I have to finish what I came up here for put my basic pattern hanger away And I still need to water the house plants bob went over to the kids house to grab some dirt because he's trying to still fill the broken pond in I you know, I don't know It's been a day a good day, but a day.

I Like the dress that I made mr. Bob likes it too. I may actually wear it for father's day dinner tomorrow. That would be funny But it would be a very comfortable. I might even wear my shoes I haven't worn yet the new brown boots I bought that I haven't even worn yet We'll see I'll I'll get you a picture and stick it here at the end of the vlog if I do wear it and You can see what how it turns out It was a wholly unexpected project, but I can't say I'm mad about it.
