TA DA!!!
The Toucan is complete!!!
And I do think he came out quite well. Its amazing to me that he stands so well on those wonderful feet. A bit "THANK YOU" to Sue Ann Holcomb for sharing her technique with us that gave us the final piece in the "how do I..." puzzle for this creation.
Next job on this is to get him posted on our website and about half a dozen other places.
And TA DA! again.....
Finished the last of the binding on this quilt last night.
Ran it through a cold rinse in the washer this morning and took out all the blue marker.
Its now hanging in the laundry room on a clip hanger to dry --- its just too hot to put anything that isn't needed right away through the dryer.
Now its on to the next one of these.
MMMMMMMMMM! Yummmy peaches.
We got 2 boxes of fresh peaches on Sunday, and yesterday morning we put up about half of them.
Aren't these lovely? 12 full pints and a "mini pint" (that front jar is only about 12 ounces.
Most of these are going to my dad, with a few jars to my daughter.
Sure heats up the house doing them, but the results are wonderful.
Solar Power
All of the orange beads are on, now its on to the reds!
And here is what else got done yesterday:
Flamingo -- glazing is done, now its on to the fabric parts
Hobby Horse and Bear -- the horse is now done, we're going to try waxing the nose of the bear
Apricot bear -- painting of the eyes is complete, working on the eyelids and thinking about how to do the feet
Car Quilt -- pieced together half of the first section of track....its so exciting when an idea actually works
Started knitting on a hot pad from the unraveled sweater.....I can do knitting in the dark with this one since its just knit all rows.....guaranteed to put me to sleep unless I'm watching a good TV show at the same time
Well, its time to go see what kind of trouble I can get into today!

The toucan looks maahvelous, my dear; he turned out REALLY well! Better watch out for those feet, he looks like he could pick up small children with those talons!
The quilt looks great, though I can't imagine how you could stand to work on it in the heat.
Whatcha doin' with the rest of the peaches? I plan to make cobbler as soon as the cooler is in, if we haven't snarfed them all up by then!
we've been eating the peaches "out of hand" (so to speak) and on cereal....might make a cobbler for "sunday dinner".....if there are any left we'll take some to Dorothy
Should name the Toucan Do.
