I spent some time choosing the colors of cork I want to use for Ellie's Puppy Purse. It's a start, right? I'm in the process of redrawing and cutting out pieces right now...and taking photographs of the process as I go along.
I also canned the last fifteen pounds of tomatoes into stewed tomatoes yesterday. The result was 13 1/2 quarts. I used 1 1/2 for dinner last night. We had salisbury steak with beautiful yellow potatoes. It was a hit, and just a taste of things to come this fall and winter. Handsome was quite pleased with the results, and truthfully, so was I.
I have the tomato skins dehydrating until late morning, and then I'll process them into powder for later use. First, Handsome has his physical therapy appointment (and I'm his driver), and haircuts are on the agenda later. Then, I'll get back into the studio for some serious work. I'll do better for you tomorrow.
It's interesting how you can sew with cork.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteOne of these days I'll remember to send you a sample of the cork fabric so you can play with it. It's really very supple and soft, and easy to sew. We now have a total of thirty jars of tomatoes to carry us through the colder weather. I see chili, stews and casseroles in our future.

Choosing colours sometimes can be harder than the actual doing. I usually end up with my sewing room looking like a bomb went off with piles everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteI'm actually using a "clean" photo of the studio for my post tomorrow. It currently has the "post apocalyptic" look right now. lol
