SAHRR Round 4!

 At last - Round 4 of my SAHRR.  If you don't know what that means it's the acronym for Stay At Home Round Robin. With my steady 15 minutes a day (well some days plus my mobility issues) I've managed to put it together.

I'm off now to consider treatments for round 5.  My inspiration for round 4 came from Barbara Black's Stars in a Time Warp .Was going to follow it with some of my stars but it didn't look right to me.  So I'm considering a different look.

Joining up with Alycia's Finished or Not Finished Friday , Brag about your Finishes and Off the Wall Friday. See you there.

It's Not From Scraps!

I was thinking about doing the May Table Scrap Challenge -thinking is all I do what with my mobility problem - and decided I really, really had to make me a new ironing board cover as I had burned, spotted, ripped the one I had. I went to order one and they were way too expensive, too depressing, just too too! I mentioned this to my Super Seamstress daughter and she came up with a plan:  deconstruct the entire cover, use the parts to make the new one. And that's what we did. Used the batting, the elastic, the binding. The batting made a perfect pattern for the fabric.

So I got to work. I wanted to use the letter suggestions for the Table Scrap challenge, so I used floral. Found a piece of fabric from my stash and, voila! here is my new ironing board cover:

 and here is what I got rid of:

It's not a table scrap, but it is floral and necessary for my sewing projects as I get ready to make the June Table Scrap Challenge.  Go here to see all the other projects for May at The Joyful Quilter. And I happened to use the right color for the Scraphappy Saturday. Go here to see those projects!

Good News!

Good news!  I'm walking with a cane now most of the time. I only use the walker at night when I have to get out of bed and I'm not too steady. Hurray!

So since I'm more mobile, I went out into the patio and looked around at all the flowering plants that are blooming in May:

God is good!
