Last night at dusk, we found we had a dead deer by the driveway. So this morning we made many phone calls while government departments passed the buck and gave us wrong phone numbers. The wildlife people won’t come out unless it was poached. Now how would I know that? Well, they could come inspect and if was an attempted poach, they would take it, but if not, they would leave it. Seemed like a waste of my tax dollars.
We finally had someone tell us that while it is on our property, no one will touch it. Move it off the property and they have to deal with it. So DH took it up to the corner where the school bus turns around and another neighbor reported it. They probably didn’t want school children seeing it as it was removed.
So after a workout, cleaning, and making a meal, there wasn’t a lot of my day left. I started to make this cute little quilt, but stopped when I couldn’t find my roll of double stick stuff that I just purchased. I need it to do eyes, wings, etc. And this is how UFOs happen.
So I moved on and cut out 4 doll raincoats. Once cut out, I should be able to get them all done in the coming week. The plastic is really cute tweety bird fabric that I think was intended for children. I am lining it with solid yellow.
Have a great Saturday and I’ll see you back here Sunday evening.
We did make it to the fair today!. Fairs are so busy and fun that I forget to take photos.
After finishing the last quilt, I’m having a very difficult time, getting in the frame of mind to start another project. I found this lovely wool and angora roving when we were cleaning out the closet, so started spinning it. It feels so soft and yummy. I don’t even remember purchasing it, so it has been here for some time.
I feel so back to normal! I’ve been enjoying this “California weather” we’ve been having for the last 2 months. Yesterday, I woke up to rain and cooler with the forecast for a whole week of rain – that’s right 7 days with wind off and on. So normal, but not for the last week of August. I think the earth shifted an entire month forward. And we need the rain, so I’m not complaining.
And these fellows are done and ready for their new home.
My cousin has been cleaning out items she thinks she no longer needs and has sent me several doll clothes books. Interestingly enough not a one of them has been a duplicate of what I have. Now I need to get busy and trace patterns so I can make clothes. Christmas will soon be here and I want some little girls to be happy.

The morning was spent looking for a cooler large enough to wash the fleece. I had one for washing and needed one for rinsing. That took longer than expected because some of the stores were sold out. I finally found one and came home.
This is a very dirty “white” fleece from which I shook loose seconds cuts and took apart
