Something for when I sit in zan-zen.
I think the pincushions are darling.
It would be fun to make a kimono.
I have a few Japanese things and do love wearing them.
Another inspiring way to use paper.
Once the sun was high I had to go inside.
It is so very hot this July.
Yet when I saw the Giant in the Mimosa tree I grabbed the camera
and stood in the sun for a few minutes.
Mimosas and Giant Swallowtails are so tropical.
Makes 100 degrees seem normal.
On the way back to the house I spotted a Chick-a-dee
staying cool.
A caterpillar came in with me.
My husband took it back out.
I brought out our caterpillar field guide.
It is that time of year again.
Our caterpillar is a Large Yellow Underwing.
There have been other cat sightings.
This is a Milkweed Tussock Caterpillar.
My husband is great at finding cats.
I will need to get my habitats set up again.
It is fun to watch them spin their cocoons.
I am leaving the sewing machine open.
I want to get back to my sewing.
I still have some mending to finish
before I start a project.
This straw hat needs an inside band.
It is uncomfortable without one.
I found a pretty piece of cotton
in my fabric stash.
I need a new summer nightgown.
I think I will go to the fabric store and buy a pattern.
It has been many years since I cut out a pattern
and sewed up a garment.
A nightgown will be a good place to start.
I brought up a red silk skirt and blouse.
I like the skirt but not with the blouse.
I think I will restyle the blouse.
I am wanting to work up a cute red outfit
to wear in September.
While on vacation I bought a few wooden puzzles.
I think tonight I will put one together
and see how it turns out.
I'd like to spray paint a few little things tomorrow.
They will dry quickly outside.
The mini wooden boxes
are very cute.
I think I will use one in my handbag.
Perhaps it would look good in red.
