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
Merry Christmas, everyone!
If you're looking for something Christmasy to listen to/watch over the next few days, here's the most recent episode of my favorite podcast Blurry Creatures. It's a really fascinating (and nerdy) deep dive into the Biblical story of the Magi.
Two days after my son turned in his last paper for his bachelor's degree, I finished my shirt sewing project. Eight shirts, made to measure. Most of the fabrics are linen. Yes, regrettably you can tell exactly when I got my sewing machine repaired... but I hope these help him as he moves through his master's program and in life.
We had a very quiet Thanksgiving, and I'm doing palate cleansers between the shirts in my shirt gift project, so I ran through the scrap pile and made myself an apron.
Aprons, IME, should be made of thicker fabrics in order to actually prevent splashes and stains from getting to your real clothes. Both of these were skirt leftover bits :)
