Henry with batting

Yes,  I killed the batting.  But that is OK.  She has plenty more.

It was at the bottom of the bag.  I just dug through all that other stuff to get it.
 If you didn't want me to get it why did you leave it out in plain sight?
I'm Sorry.  I will never do it again...today.

Pincushions, I can't stop making them

But what do I do with them all?

My favorite right now is the one in the covered tulip vase that I bought in Missoula while visiting my sister Mary...

The 3 most recent pincushions

                                                               With the lid off.

With the lid on.

Nothing fancy except the pin buddy.

I thought this one was perfect on it's little candlestick base.
And I love the Christmas Tree Pin buddy.

So that is what I did on a rainy Thursday when Jim was in Fargo getting his car fixed. (Not the new one thank dog!)  It's wiring was eaten by an animal.  We should maybe build a garage????

Words are unnecessary.

My new ironing board cover...

Now if I can only keep the cats off of it...

They like to give it that special touch of hairball smell.  Wonderful when warmed up! Hopefully the plastic tablecloth I keep on it will stop that now.  Grump.

Looks clean doesn't it?

Ready for quilting.

Here is my first project made on the new cover.  Not a lot of ironing, but it all counts.

Super Moon eclipse 9/27/15

Jim and I are having fun watching the eclipse tonight.

An hour before.

More before

At the start

Just about totality!

Coming out the other side

More

Wow.

Almost finished.

Finished and then the clouds came in.  What perfect timing!

Once the moon was in eclipse the stars were bright and the Milky Way was very visible. I tried to take pictures at totality but there was not enough light for my camera to pick up.
