Maker's Monday

What have I been up too? 

 

I finished the cursive strawberry.

WOOHOO

This was the pattern from Erica Michaels

Alpha Strawberries.

Now to make it into that strawberry.

I folded it with the right side in.

Then hand stitched the one side.

Turned it right side out.

Stuffed it with my Morning Glory

fiberfil stuffing.

Topped it with a green wool top.

Took some green ribbon.

Made a bow and secured it with a long pin.

Next I took some velveteen.

Took the same pattern which was

included in the Alpha Strawberries pattern.

Stitched up more strawberries 

using the velveteen.

The two colors together.

These will all go in a display soon.

In other news,

the repaired bowl from my last post

is a reproduction.

Folks get fooled all of the time,

 it is a cheap fake....but I do still love it.

Also the pics from my last post were all from my home.

We no longer have the gift shop.

I only order honey, candles and bath bombs...

and those are inside our antique store now.

Mikayla had her final prom and overnighter.

She starts college in August now.

We ordered a privacy fence from Lowes.

It will replace the old rotten wood one

that my neighbor installed.

We asked them if we could replace it...

and of course they agreed.

Not yet sure when they will 

come out to install...but when they do 

it will be done in one day.

Just the one side of our property.

The rest is cyclone...but we wanted

a privacy one on this side to keep

Tundra from barking at everything.

Well have to get my butt to work.

Hope everyone enjoys their week.

June Blessings To All!
