Another toddler (should have been baby) quilt and pillowcase done! Now both have been mailed.
And, 🤔, I made a 🌈 quilt. Does that make me a groomer 🙄?

I made my 1st quilted #adventcalendar for my Irish friends! They were away until 12/15, so had to open days 1-15 last night. numbers aren’t on the quilt yet.
Quilted and backed w sheer fabric so that it looks like stained glass when backlit.
Still needs a little more work.

And I always make a matching pillowcase to send the quilt in. Especially when the kid is already in a big bed 🙄.

If you have a cat (and extra money because the kids are grown), the only thing you need to get for said cat is some wall or floor furniture from www.maupets.com

You WILL be crazy about it when it’s done. I felt the same about mine. Picture of mine in progress. It looks great so far!

A mourning dove flew hard into my dining room window. Unfortunately, it gave its life for my window, but not before leaving an impressive outline of itself. You can see individual feather impressions in the 2nd picture.
This happens relatively often (I just ordered decals to thwart the birds).

I made a spool chest nto a side table.
The “DEXTER” drawer is on the top. A charging port (2 USBC, 2 USBA, 2 regular plugs) is in the bottom drawer.
I reinforced the bottom to install the hairpin legs and make a cord channel. Forstner bit came in handy!

Today was the first time I saw a product price online that added in a tariff surcharge AND told me that it was added. I’m not buying this particular product (too $$$), but I will buy from the company. Good for them for letting us know the tariff surcharge.

15. If you grow but don’t smoke, it’s a pretty plant, but a pain in the ass to harvest and process into edibles. My plants were gorgeous and I never used the stuff after harvest/trimming.
