Monday Morning design floor

It's going to be a glorious day today. This weekend it was in the 70's & I was loving every minute of it. I figure if I can't (and didn't get) the snow bring on the green! I asked my husband if he would help me take my treadle outside. He rolled his eyes & asked if I could just take my hand crank out instead. I said sure but we'd need to make a makeshift table. It didn't end up happening but at least I know that he can help make it happen the next time. 
I'm getting very close to finishing my morning project. I just need to finish the top & bottom borders (which I hope to do today). I'm hoping I can get them done so that I can take it to my LAQ today. 

While there I'll pick up the orange & purple hexagon quilt. I love picking up & dropping off on the same trip😊. 

Progress has also been made on the "home" project. I was able to sew 200+ hst on my treadle yesterday. 

I've got another couple hundred to go. I don't like to sew with shoes on but that pedal hurts my feet. So I keep that one worn out sandal there just for treadling. 

On the farm front it was fairly quiet, which is a good thing. The barn cats are loving the weather & were posed so I just had to take a picture

There has been lots of sunbathing going on as well

No he's not dead just completely oblivious to everything around him. They were all like this. Life is good for them. The weather is nice & the flies have not shown up yet. Give it another week & the flies will be here. 

Kiddo got a backhoe lesson this weekend 

Both of our dogs have died so it's time to  tear down the old dog pen. There was a concrete footing that went around the pen so they couldn't dig out & that's what my kiddo is digging out. He did well & he has a great & patient teacher. 

Update on my FIL. He's doing well. He hadn't eaten anything in about week but this weekend he's eaten a BBQ brisket sandwich & hot dogs. It can be a roller coaster but we're doing the best we can. 

 I hope yall have a great day. I'm going to do my best to enjoy every minute of it. More later on,

Vicky

  3. Your tumbler quilt is looking good. I love all the pictures of your life on the farm. Those kitties just tugged at my heart. We lost our last baby this year. She was quite old, but very much loved.
