Looked up soon after I got to work at the studio today and noticed a melted squirrel staring at me from the deck railing. So I gave her a left over cherry and some nuts. (pics 1-3)
A few minutes later, I had a different squirrel staring at me. So I grabbed the jar of nuts, and went back out only to watch her run away when I opened the door.
I looked down and one of the two that will eat from your hand was running right toward my feet. So I put some food on the deck for her and some on the rail for the one who ran away.
After I went back inside, the one who ran came back to enjoy what I left on the rail (pic 5).
I had a knock on the door two more times from the same squirrel who ate on the deck at my feet. She was hungry today!
I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
I draped a really rough half-scale ruffle tail for one of the debutant dresses Janet & I are making. I just eyeballed and freehand cut a scrap of (un-ironed) muslin in a spiral and pinned it to my little dress form to make sure it was long enough to reach from hem to waist. Then I marked the folds and traced it onto graph paper and cleaned it up. The graph paper makes it easier to copy at 200% and tape the pieces back together.
I'll transfer the enlarged frankenstein paper pattern to brown paper when I'm back at the studio tomorrow or Friday and then make it out of the real fabric.

I made 2 of these valentine garlands. Found the tutorial via Instagram and thought it would be perfect to send to Ashley, my daughter in Oregon, and Madison, my birth daughter in North Carolina.
Pics are from Ashley.
