I do not know why I cannot create. Just pablum work here.
I cut some of my new scraps into 2.5 inch strips.
Epiphany...I had never made this block before...so easy.
Especially with a box of white charms already in a box...somewhere...
So fun, so relaxing, so no-think. so scrappy.

I was determined not to cry this weekend.
I got out of the house.
Went to the grocery store and bought a nice steak and a treat.
Why did you not tell me that no-one could eat just one Oreo??!!
Went to a Naranon meeting with friends..
I never see my sister any more. She is working 12 hour days in two jobs.
Bittersweet for me.
My daughter-in-law has been sick for a month. Sigh.
My daughter is going nut crazy about her wedding in two months.
Maybe or maybe not a wedding...It will be a surprise to all.
A small family wedding up a mountain in the woods somewhere.
Meantime she is going to have people throw organic brown rice...Hello
By the time she gets married, I will suggest avocado seeds.!!!!!!!
Not really and just kidding, I love you Emily as only a mother can.
Oh boy! Wedding preparations can really be stressful and overwhelming. The cross blocks look good! Using your fab new scraps woooh!!
ReplyDeleteI love the charm square blocks, so versatile. The wedding day itself will fly past, that's why the lead up is sometimes challenging. So much to organise, even a non formal wedding.

Those cross blocks look so fun! I may have t o add them to the never ending list to try. So sorry your daughter in law has been sick for so long. I hope she is finally on the mend. Oh, the wedding preparations sure do test even the best mother-daughter teams! 👰🏻
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel lots of love around you today. I know it's not the same as in the past, but you are surrounded by people that love you! Good luck, keep sewing! 💕❤️💕✂️
Okay, I can make cross blocks with charms. Actually lovely and interesting even though simple. Thank you for sharing and continuing to make your fun, creative projects. I always look forward to all you share.
ReplyDeleteWeddings! My sensible, level-headed, mature daughter completely shut down before her wedding ~ ~ all of the things she planned to do were done by the people around her. I didn't leave the sewing machine except to sleep for almost two weeks as I made the dresses she was sure she could make!! and it was a lovely wedding for two people perfect for each other ~ ~ more than 20 years ago now. Hang in there :):) I do understand the nuttiness.
What a clever block! A great one for having fun with fabric combos. It's amazing how many little things there are to organise even for a small wedding. 2 months will fly by. What about those people who organise their weddings for 2 years!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane,
