I will NOT relax though until it makes this expected turn. Ivan was on a similar path and didn't turn. I have done all the preps I can, so it is just time to sit back and pray.
I can't wish a hurricane on my worst enemy.
With that said, I have been busy cleaning some areas of the home more than stitching this week.
I did finally get into the sewing room yesterday to work on my fall smalls finishes.
I have them all sewn together. Today I plan to stuff and embellish. I have some cute little fall charms that I may use on some of them.
Here is what I have done thus far.
Did you see little Gus's legs in the corner. He stays by my side. My pal already. Lemony was sunning outside or taking a break from Gus.
The weather has been amazing the last two days. I honestly don't ever remember it cooling down this early in September. That usually is saved for the last week of the month.
I will take it.
Praying for Florida,
Sandy
I pray that Irma makes a turn and goes out to sea, I can only imagine how frightening it is to experience such a storm of such magnitude. Stay safe and keep us updated.
ReplyDeleteYOur finishes are all adorable, I'm especially fond of the sunflower finish. Mary
Thanks Mary. Hopefully this storm will weaken.
DeleteI really like what you have accomplished so far with your autumn finishes, Sandy. I continue to pray that Irma turns back out to sea along with lessens in intensity. Will be thinking of you and the rest of Florida this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin. Hoping the storm will weaken soon.
DeleteOh, Sandy, each of these smalls looks so pretty! I love the fabrics you have chosen to complement them! You have the eye of an artist, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I filled them all today. I am always hard on myself. I don't think I will put them in a basket together but scatter around with my other stuff. The pumpkins turned out cute.
DeleteSandy, I remember how stressful it was when we lived in FL waiting for a storm to hit - even if we were in the outskirts! I will keep you in my prayers. I am glued to the weather channel. On another note.. your needlework looks lovely. You are so talented. Love your sidekick too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Katie. I am going to try and get mind on other things today. I am as prepped as I can be, so I need to focus on something else today. We need those prayers down here.
DeleteFirst things first...your smalls are adorable. I am hoping to do a bit of decorating this week. We just got home from GA and we saw so many Florida cars on the road. Thankfully it seems Irma weakened as she rode up Florida. We expect to get some wind and rain here tomorrow. Marvin and I are praying all is good at Gulf Shores as we leave on Saturday for our week at the beach. I will email you about getting together while we are there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Arlene. I finally stuffed them and will share sometime this week. So glad the storm is almost over. It has been some tense days around here wondering if it would ever make that turn. I don't want to wish it on anyone, but always pray for them to weaken. I hope we can get together next week.
ReplyDeleteLove them all Sandy. You did a wonderful job...just perfect. RJ
