<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Another warm day with air so soft with a light breeze
wafting about, clear blue sky, absolutely wonderful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
Woody went shopping this morning and I put a few hours in
learning mode again today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use one
program to size the pictures for upload and Photoshop Elements to crop if
necessary, I just cannot seem to figure out how to use Photoshop efficiently,
will work at it again tomorrow, as I said in my post yesterday my patience wear
thin! <br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Woody finished the leatherwork Ron requested on his
new rifle today, pretty cool and very different, it suits Ron and that is most
important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Woody totally enjoyed the
challenge as he always does and Ron's reaction made the project even more
worthwhile!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
A beautiful warm sunny day, 16.6C (62F) high, sure cannot
complain about that eh!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Woody went for a
walk along the <st2:place w:st="on"><st1:sn w:st="on">San</st1:sn> <st1:middlename w:st="on">Pedro</st1:middlename> <st1:sn w:st="on">River</st1:sn></st2:place>,
which he has done most Sundays since we arrived here but he has had no luck
seeing any animals, many tracks, but no sightings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said there were six vehicles where he
parks and usually he is the only one, he didn't see any of the hikers though. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only picture he took was of a cloud
formation see below.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw an
interesting cloud formation that looked like a streamlined jet plane while out
walking the dogs but did not have a camera, boo hoo!</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
After he returned he continued to work on a leather project
he is doing for our neighbour Ron, when he is finished I will post
pictures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
I have a new Photoshop Elements program which I am learning
to use, came with the new computer, which is similar to the full Adobe version
which I actually took a course to use and now is so old that it does not want
to work with Windows 8.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are some
differences, but so far, the new version Elements is lacking some of the real
nice editing tools that the full version has.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I will continue to try to load the old version and continue to use the
new Elements version to edit our pictures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I find I do not have the patience I use to have when it comes to using
and learning new programs and that is not good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Elements 10 is still a good tool for picture and video editing.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Wow Christmas has crept up so quickly, seems like we just
arrived at TTRV a few days ago!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
weather has been awesome most days, some wind, some rain and a few cool days
but sure better than at home!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
decorated our humble home inside and out, sure is no problem putting up lights
in warm sunny weather.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We bought a
couple of extra light sets as well a pair of Snowmen on sale to add to our meagre
decorations and overall it looks quite "Christmassy".<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(I don't think that is a real word).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lol</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Many folks in the park decorate for Christmas as well the
park staff does a great job of decorating outdoors and the clubhouse, which
really adds to the festive feeling here. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>

<br />

Well after more freezing rain and snow with temps ranging
from a few degrees above 0 to -22.7C<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>(-8.86F) we decided we could not wait for the ice to melt off the slides
so we needed to leave the fifth wheel behind and head south.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We called the park to book a few days in
their park model to get the Motorhome parked and ready for us that a good
friend in AZ offered to lend us for our stay in AZ this winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We packed up what we thought we would need,
winterized the fifth wheel, and will head out tomorrow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will be different trip for us, staying
in motels, and eating microwave meals or sandwiches, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are taking a cooler, some dishes, and some
food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We cannot leave the dogs alone in
the motel room so we will eat in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Woke up this morning to snow and it continued until late
afternoon, first snow this fall and I hope it is all the snow we will have
until December and we are in AZ enjoying the sun!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dogs stopped short after I opened the
door and they saw the funny white stuff but once I convinced them to walk out
the door and step into the snow they thought it was fun to play in, running,
jumping and eating it! I am sure they would have stayed out longer but I was
not as enthusiastic as they were.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
The park is going to be full this weekend with Army Cadets
and I got a call today for a spot for next week which totally surprised me, did
not expect any RVers this late in the season usually only Cadets, Scouts, Jr.
Forest Wardens or school groups use the park this late in the season!</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Temp dropping to -6C (20F) tonight with a high tomorrow of
4C (39F) so not really warm but snow should start to melt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Oh yes, to make matters worse it rained first then starting snowing as the temps dropped, so we have a nice layer of ice under the snow on the fifth wheel as well as every where else!</span><br />

everyone is settled at the park and I decided I would check out exactly what I
had written regarding the passing of my very best friend last year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wrote absolutely nothing; in fact our blog
has a gap of almost a year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew I did
not write much last year but I never realized how little I did write.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess putting anything to paper just made
the reality of losing Myrna too much for me to handle and now facing Ray’s
death is bringing back memories but I am able to actually face them now a
little better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Myrna told at the Family
Gathering in 2010 that she feared she had cancer and then it was confirmed in
August, there was no cure, chemo and radiation would prolong her life but not
cure her cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I noticed I did not
mention how we all missed Myrna at the Family Gathering this year either,
interesting how I neglected to mention that in my post yet we all talked about
missing her at the gathering, I guess that was just another way I was trying
hard not to deal with my feelings!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shall
I go back and add to my blog or leave it blank, I cannot decide.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was also writing the story of my life for
my children and I have not written a word since Myrna’s death, I guess a piece
of me was just lost for awhile and I did not even realize it even though I felt
something was not quit right I did not understand until now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ray, in your death you gave me something I
did not even know I needed, thank you. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span>Patsy and Woodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03178213812506080300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775150470684674639.post-73388243235225476022012-08-24T22:30:00.000-07:002012-08-27T13:56:57.252-07:00Busy weekend<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span lang="EN-CA">Yesterday before we got the news of Ray’s
passing Woody was busy with park tasks and I took advantage of the time he was
out to sew up all the blocks I cut yesterday (I can only sew when he is not
watching TV as I sit at the table right in his way) and unless he is working on
a leather project he is watching TV when he is home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then pressed all the blocks and laid them
out the way I think I want them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
first I thought I had made an error as I had too many of one combo and not
enough of the other combo, how can that be, I was sure I had counted
correctly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I picked them all up and
started over, laying out each side at the same time one block at a time and
sure enough I had just the right amount, I had laid the blocks out in a
different pattern the first try! Now I will sew them together, cut out the
lining and the batting, then quilt the 3 layers together!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">The park is full, some folks came in
yesterday and the rest today, it is a large group and they have rented the whole
campground, Woody had to remind them to keep their dogs leashed while in the
park, they are allowed to let them run loose on the trails but not in the camping
area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some thought they could let their
dogs run loose because they rented the whole campground, the problem with
letting them run loose is the doggie doo they leave behind, who wants to step
in that and most of the group thanked Woody for setting down the rule.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I started a new sewing project today, took
me awhile to decide what I wanted to create.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I like to make items that are useful or that I can give as gifts, I kept
looking at all the sewing patterns that I have saved and finally choose a
“Casserole Tote”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We attend many
potlucks while at our winter home so having a tote will be handy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have not made this before so it will be
interesting and a challenge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am using
material that was given to me by our friend Cheri in AZ and decided I would do
a patchwork instead of using one colour material.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I choose the patchwork pattern which I
thought would work, next challenge was creating the paper pattern, instructions
directed me to create a circle with a 17 ½ “ diameter, that is a test in
itself, I used some scrap paper taped together, Woody’s compass a string and
pencil drawing half the circle then moving the paper to draw the other half due
to the small space I have to work in. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With Woody’s help I made cardboard pattern
pieces for the patchwork, cut out and sewed up some squares.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided that each seam will have to sewn twice,
one straight then go over all edges with a zigzag stitch as the one material I
am using frays very easily and even though the tote will be quilted and lined I
don’t want to chance the seams coming apart when washed, that would be a
disaster, all the work for not! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
will be some waste using patch worked blocks but I’ll try to keep it to a
minimum and keep any worthy scraps for other projects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I always have to stay patient when I am
creating something and remind myself that taking my time pays in the long run,
I am always tempted to short cut even though it usually makes more work in the
end. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I managed to get some blocks cut,
sewn and pressed today, a great start!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">While sewing today pine cones were dropping
on the roof of the fifth wheel making a loud noise, the first one startled me
and scared the dogs, Muffin ran and hid, Cookie came and cowered under my chair,
poor puppies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was not windy so I suspected
a squirrel was at work, I went outside and sure enough there was a squirrel in
the pine tree on the limbs that hangs over the fifth wheel, I watched him tug
at the pine cones and run across the limb, down the tree to hide the cone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The little guy was also loosening some and
dropping them, which landed on our roof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I came in a grabbed the camera but could not get a good picture of him
he is so quick, but it sure was fun to watch!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA">This morning Woody was taking care of some
tasks in the park and the young bagpiper was playing some tunes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After completing the tasks Woody stopped by
to congratulate the young man on his spectacular playing and thank him for the
concert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turns out the young man’s father
was in the Army in Afghanistan was injured there and sent to Scotland to
recover, while there his family flew over to be with him, his son heard and
fell in love with bagpipes, he has only been playing for two years but his Dad
said he cannot hardly put them down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was amazed that he had only been playing for two years; he plays them like a

had a massive stroke Friday evening and was taken off life support today, no
chance he will make it, he is only 64 and a super nice person, just doesn’t
seem right that he should be taken from his family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot imagine what his wife and family are

a bagpiper in the park this evening, he can play them very well, he is

a young person I did not appreciate bagpipes but now I really enjoy them when
played well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh wow he is now playing
Amazing Grace which was a favourite of my Dad’s, it surely does bring tears to
my eyes thinking of my Dad and of course our friend and his family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I finally finished a tote bag for daughter
Michelle today and I am very pleased with the result.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I offered to make her a bag a few weeks ago
after she came over with some extra items in a plastic grocery bag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had scraps of material from other projects
which I dug out and Michelle picked out the colours she wanted plus we spent
time on the internet picking out a pattern for a bag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We made a trip to town to purchase the
material for the lining and the concho for clasp a few days later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She didn’t want the scraps arranged symmetrical
which I thought was cool and turned out to be a challenge for my little
brain!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really thought it would be
easier as I would not have to worry about matching seams and making perfect
points but found out my mind wanted to work in symmetrical patterns, so I had
to force my mind to “think outside the box”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I really did enjoy the challenge and process of choosing the pieces of
fabric, deciding how to put them together and seeing the bag come together
piece by piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

right for her lunch, bottle of water and other items she wants or needs to
carry with her.</span><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Today is daughter Tracy’s birthday, she and family are on vacation
so I hope she has a very special birthday celebration!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Happy Birthday Tracy, much love from Mom and
Dad see you when you return.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">The wildfires in northern Alberta are now out, the evacuation notice
was lifted July 20<sup>th</sup> and I cannot imagine how happy the residents
are to be home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The large fire near Zama Lake
(901+ km/559+ miles) north of us decimated over 253000 hectares (625000 acres) of
forest and as far as I know no buildings were burned which is awesome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many species of wildlife lost their habitat
and of course many species of wildlife lost their lives, it will take many
years for the forest to recoup but recoup it will!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">The bear situation here has not changed, we
have two bears a male and female, the male has been feeding on 2 very large ant
hills in the trees just off the walking path which leads to the Watchable Wildlife
Building on the shore
of Devil’s Lake
as well of course on the berries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are
hopeful the bear will move on when the berries are gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have tons of wild strawberries,
raspberries, saskatoons, and other wild berries that bears will eat but we don’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have been very diligent regarding warning
folks who come to the park to pick berries and hike; we do not want any
incidents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of the trails are not
passable now due to all the rain, some portions of some trails are totally
under water, knee deep water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Earlier
this summer we had many hikers come to the park daily but the word has gotten
around and very few people are frequenting the trails now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">We are doing well, keeping busy and
enjoying our summer in the park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do
love the long daylight hours although they are noticeably shorter already but
still light long after 10 pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There has
been lots of wild weather in Alberta
this year and a few tornados touched down, no major damage so far and we have
been very lucky to avoid damaging hail which has fallen around us. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What can I say, we are feeling very lucky
and blessed!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I am sharing an email I received from a
friend, I utterly love the play on words and hope you enjoy as much as we did.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">The last sentence is not a play on words
but absolutely priceless!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>I
printed this and hung it on our Bullentin Board so we can have the pleasure of

</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots.
Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone. <br />
<br />
I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. <br />
<br />
I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be
driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and
work. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black;"></span></div>

I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much
on physical activity anymore. <br />
<br />
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit
there too often. <br />
<br />
I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm. <br />
<br />
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older. <br />
<br />
One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin
flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!
<br />
<br />
I may have been in Continent, and I don't remember what country I was in. It's
an age thing. They tell me it is very wet and damp there.</span></div>

wind switched so later in the day the smoke thinned out somewhat, certainly
better than yesterday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Weather man says
rain tomorrow but unfortunately not up north but the rain will clean the air
here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Woody sighted our bear twice today;
the bear is coming very close to the campground and not running off when we
spot him which is different than in the 3 previous years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First sighting was by the compost pile, Woody
was dumping some tree limbs and other compostable material, he shut off the
tractor, dismounted and was just at the edge of the trees when he spotted the
bear, he quickly got back on the tractor, started it up and the bear ran off,
the compost pile is just inside the tree line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Later walking the dogs on the trail he saw the bear standing up and
looking at them, he had stopped walking to allow the dogs to sniff around as
they love to do, he quickly returned to the our fifth wheel and told me not walk
the dogs on the trails anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
trail he was walking was the trail I always walk the dogs on, and I stop and
sit on the bench, sometimes taking our Native Flute with me and allowing the
dogs to run free while I play the flute so it is a sad that I cannot walk that
path anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Walking the dogs in the
campground is kinda boring for me although I am not sure the dogs care. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Woody informed all the folk in the park so
they were aware the bear is coming close to the campground.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span> We do not want any bear incidents
that is for sure!</span>Patsy and Woodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03178213812506080300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775150470684674639.post-54737674209691635492012-07-13T13:19:00.000-07:002012-07-13T13:19:11.228-07:00Wildfires<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span lang="EN-CA">Woke up today to a very smoky atmosphere,
there are major wildfires burning 900+ Km (560 miles) north of us and the wind
has brought the smoke into this area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The fire area is sparsely populated, two small communities have been
evacuated as a precaution, I cannot imagine what the smoke must be like in
those areas, it is bad enough here, especially for anyone suffering with
respiratory issues. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fires were
started by lightening June 21<sup>st</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The largest has consumed 155,000 hectares and is out of control at this
time due to high winds and very dry conditions. We are praying for the wind to
calm down and for rain to help the firefighters extinguish the ranging
wildfires.</span></div>Patsy and Woodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03178213812506080300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775150470684674639.post-85249017570226023502012-07-09T16:05:00.000-07:002012-07-13T14:37:20.804-07:00Family Gathering<span lang="EN-CA">Our family gathering this past weekend was
awesome just a way too short! We were
blessed with sunny warm weather, actually got through the whole weekend without
a rain shower, now in Alberta
that is just not normal! Family started
arriving Thursday evening, more on Friday then the rest on Saturday. With immediate family, extended family and a
couple of friends we numbered 16, some camped for the weekend and others just
visited for the day on Saturday. Thursday
evening we gathered at our site around the campfire then Friday and Saturday we
mostly gathered at Tracy and Keith’s campsite, all cooking our own thing and
visiting. We had a potluck Saturday evening
and gathered around the big general campfire for the evening and those that
camped gathered in the shelter for brunch on Sunday morning. Sunday comes so fast, just never enough time
for visiting but seeing everybody for a short time is better than not seeing
them at all. We will see more of our kids and grandkids
that live close but not the case for those who live a greater distance. We really do have an awesome family even if I
do say so myself! Our second
granddaughter will be off to England in
August if all goes according to plan, she plans on spending a couple of
years working and travelling in Europe,
part of me says “no you cannot do that” then the other part says “good on ya,
go for it”. We truly do hope all works
out as Dani really wants to go, she promised to keep in touch through Skype and
email, etc. I guess we will have to
learn how to “Skype”!</span><br />

Posting pictures is a pain, I wanted to add more but really it is so frustrating, posting text is no problem. Blogger has make some changes and I am not convinced it is an improvement.<br />
<br />
That aside we enjoyed our weekend with family and look forward to next year!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">We have been having issues with our internet dish since before we left AZ and
have been completely off line for over a week. We replaced the modem,
transmitter and cables and finally we are connected to the outside world once
again. We could download email most of the time but uploading anything was
almost impossible, anyway I will catch up on my email and enjoy all the cute and
interesting emails you sent while we were off line.</span></span></div>

home <b>May 2<sup>nd</sup></b> traveling

fixed.<span> </span>After spending several hours
checking out what the problem could be with a service repair man the issue was
not resolved.<span> </span>Thankfully the signal and
brake lights are working so we decided we could travel without running lights

We took the camera so we could capture the views of the park sitting in the desert looking west towards the Whetstone and Huachuca Mountains as well as the Cotton Wood trees along the San Pedro River. Usually we are returning to the park in the afternoon and the sun is in the wrong position for picture taking. It is a very warm day today, 78F\25.5C on our drive home at 9:45 AM. <br />

Well I certainly had some challenges creating the pillow tops. I had grand ideas but they did always work and I am still learning what I can do with the pictures once I get them printed and ready to sew on the project. I choose the pictures then sized them to what I thought would be good sizes for each project, not giving too much thought to the pattern I wanted to use, I then designed the pillow top around the picture. I had fabric that I wanted to use but designing the pattern is always a challenge for me, again I ask for help from Woody, a second opinion always helps and besides he has a good ideas when it comes to design. <br />
Anyway here are the first three I made. The tops are not finished, I need to buy the pillow forms before I add a border so I can size the border to fit the pillow forms<br />

I had fun creating these and one day I will get the pillow inserts and finish them! I choose the pictures for their action and look of pure pure fun!<br />

I found these cool sew on transfers, they are cloth with a paper backing and made to use in an ink jet printers. I can choose pictures then print them out on the transfer sheets and sewn to anything I want. I am going create cushion tops with the picture being the focal point of the cushion. Well that was my goal, I did not finish my current project, I really was not sure I liked the material that I had chosen for the sashing, I waited until Woody got home so I could have a second opinion, he agreed with me that the colour was not really complimentary to the pillow top I had created. In the meantime I started the new project, I cannot wait to see how this picture printing on fabric turns out. I will post some pics when I complete a pillow top.Patsy and Woodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03178213812506080300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775150470684674639.post-20971435961978482562012-04-01T23:11:00.001-07:002012-04-01T23:44:18.407-07:00This and that<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Well almost a week has passed since my last
post, not doing too well at keeping our blog.
I find it difficult to stop a project whether it is working on a DVD
slide show or creating a sewing project or knitting. I usually knit in the evening while watching
TV but sewing is a daytime event and when I get started I find it very hard to
stop. I promise myself I will spend at
least an hour on my blog daily then during the day I think, I will just
finish “this” (this being housework or other chores) and then I will sew for an
hour or so, then sit down and write some notes for our blog. I somehow get sewing and if Woody is gone I
do not quit until he returns which is usually late afternoon. Watching the birds is also a fun pastime, we
have many different species of birds that frequent our site and they are such
fun to watch, chasing each other and now they are starting the mating rituals,
I saw a pair of Pyrrhuloxia the other day the male feeds the females as part of
their ritual, it looked like they were kissing!
The male below is a pretty bird; the female lacks the red colouring.</span></div>

Friday I took the dogs to their grooming appointment in Sierra Vista while Woody drove Cheri to her Doctor's appointment, we met back at Cheri's in Whetstone visited for awhile then Woody and I drove back to Sierra Vista, went out for lunch and did some shopping, we bought some needed items as well as a new keyboard for me. My old keyboard was on it's last legs, many keys had the letters worn off and some keys were not working well. I really do love my new keyboard, now that I have taken some time to use it, it has many new features that I appreciate, example a button on the keyboard has a music sign on it, push the button and my library of music pops up, and other cool things like that! Oh yes, the keyboard and mouse use 1 USB port so now I have all my extra devices plugged in, no more unplugging and plugging in my extra DVD/CD player. We also bought new hinges for our bathroom door, Woody had purchased a new door knob (which was threatening to lock up and not unlock) and some new hinges (the hinges were worn out due to us hanging to many jackets on the hooks on the door) but he decided we needed heavier hinges, so now we have 4 heavy duty hinges on the door. It is a good thing he is a good handyman, it seems there is always something needing looking after.<br />
