The cats are my sewing buddies. Pim is experiencing the "tent" for the first time, lol. Can't wait to wear this on sunday!

Here's what I made with the scapes. 4 jars pickled. I can't wait for the bulb harvest.

Scapes! And so many of them!!! Most of this garlic came from taos, nm. It brings the feeling of "home" just a little bit closer.

Got a nice set of cups in process! Taking forever but worth it. Hope to finish up the full dress today. 😀

Lots of sewing, hoping to get the leaves for the skirt done tonight. Looking good so far! Such a pretty shade of green. :)

Pinning all the fabrics, making all the leaves!

Here are the colors going into the new dress design. So excited!

Another day, another sewing project plus some gardening.

Pulled my back yesterday getting out of the car, so on top of my costochondritis flare, my back feels like it's painfully crawling. Just gotta keep on keeping on, the chronic pain life never stops.

These are my baby spooders. Non dangerous, usually as adults they set up in my tomato beds and learn to avoid me when I tend the plants. 😀 I saw these while out watering today in one of the cinderblocks, much excitement!

Got done with round 1 of pressure washing. Unearthed another sidewalk/pathway. Lots of weed scooping in my future. Hopefully I'll get to some sewing next week. Gardening has taken precedence.

We had been told there was a walkway. Found it!

Just a cute little spooder to brighten your day. He hung around the entire time that I was sorting pots. He's in the Bold Jumper family I think. I've named him Henry. I wonder if he will stick around as this years' greenhouse spider?

Feverfew? More like FEVER MANY. 9 Volunteer plants so far.

A good chunk of kidney stone finally passed, I don't think it's fully done yet, but still yay!

Seeds are popping, moved my rue, weeded a bunch more but had to pause due to an ant nest. Potting up extra starts that have come up.

Enjoy this tiny friend that I found today:

Just out gardening while waiting out a kidney stone.

First batch of magnolia petals are dry, and first round of polishing is done. This batch is pigeons blood agates we hunted in utah. It's a beautiful day outside!

Magnolias oh my!

Took the last couple of days to sort and reorganize my seed hoard (and do a few trades). I managed to make a doc that lists all of the ones in binders (about 500 types!) . This doesnt count my harvests that have been bigger and are in ziplocs.

Yummy chocolate covered strawberries that I made for my nephews birthday today. :)

My dress is finished as of last week, super happy with how it came out. It is largely handsewn. :)

Today is a little mermaid day, so taking it easy. Tim says I had a couple of sets of seizures due to pressure bands but that the weather wasn't super bad. Just too much for me. Lost a chunk of memory (I thought today was monday) but definitely could have been worse.

We are anticipating me being down for the count tonight due to weather. If I don't respond and such, don't worry. I'll be fine. Tims home. Most likely I'll have had seizures and migraines so won't be able to respond until tomorrow.

So only hand sewing today.
March 26, 2025 at 6:11 PM
Finished up the project with the flower crown (can't wait to do the photoshoot!) Now back to hand sewing the flapper.
