Stash report May 8, 2022

happy Mother's Day. I will see One of my children today with my great daughter in law, and 7 of my Grandchildren. Happy day for me. I will spend primary hour at church with 7 and 8 year olds and mother them all I can. They are such a cute age.

The big piece of fabric is 108 wide. And the fabric rolls were 1 1/2 inch strips that I need for 2 different projects.

stash report May 1, 2022

There has been no real change in the stash numbers. I have been busy nesting for Spring. We are starting seeds for the garden, making some meals ahead for the busy days ahead, working outside to get the garden ready for planting. And, this year, that takes most of our energy. I haven't been in my sewing room all week. I did go to an open sew yesterday and worked on three projects - fair and square, maple leaves, and boho heart.

I have started harvesting our weeds and started the dehydrator. Dandelion flowers and violets are great for skin health. I use them in skin creams and soaps. Dandelion leaves are good for digestion, and blood sugar, cholesterol. They are a bitter for salads. The root can make a healthy drink.

This is a new weed to me this year - great name- purple dead nettle. Who doesn't want to eat that? It is good for the kidneys, is an anti- inflammatory. Information says it is sweet tasting. I haven't tried it.

hunters star and waffles

This is the last week in April for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. I finished cutting and sewing for my Hunter's star

Then, I felt that I had enough of a variety to try putting 2 blocks together and see how it looks. I think I am going to like it a lot.

I made s few waffle stamp blocks in pink to finish the month. I thought I had made all the blocks I would need last year, but, somehow I was very short when I tried to put them together. I think I misplaced some of them. So, I am trying to make more this year, too. I don't mind, I like making them.

Spring is here. Our lawn mower is in the hospital. Our neighbor has mowed 5 times already.- LOL -I am harvesting chives and dehydrating them. I only have 2 clumps of them, but, they are very busy growing. I think the rhubarb needs a haircut, too.
