days 6 & 7

day 6 was kinda hectic.  worked all day, made groceries and did another errand.  only got this large pouch made.   again, better than nothing!

day 7 has been much better!  doctor appointment this morning- turns out i have winter allergies and am not sick!  got a prescription.  yay!  it does say "do not operate machinery or drink while taking this drug".  ummmm sewing machine=machinery?  or maybe they just mean a fork lift.  and the whole no drinking?  well, i'm gonna test that warning later.  getting lots of fabric cut out but did manage to make this collage this morning.

the 2 right fabrics are vintage.  the one on the far right has a cute story--i went to this estate sale with my friends and chrissy decided to buy a one of those fancy picnic baskets that has a long name starting with an L that i have no idea how to spell so i won't even attempt it.  this fabric was inside!  i believe it was their picnic blanket because it was sewn with finished edges.  it only had one stain too so i consider it a major score.  vintage fabrics can sometimes have lots of mysterious stains.  they didn't have oxi clean back then.  i machine stitched two pics from a vintage cookbook and one of my hair ribbons from the pig tail days.  then i hand embroidered 2 circles and some lines.  here are some detail shots....

i have to say it makes me want to wear an apron and muddle my husband a drink while baking fresh bread.  and maybe cook a roast of sorts.
