Dilly of a Day
Look at me posting at any random time. Seems weird, I always thought if I didn't get that post out there first thing in the morning, my day would be ruined. But now, well, any old time is fine. I do miss the old blog days, road trips, projects, shopping, all the ridiculous lunch pictures! Yak yak yak. I guess really we're doing the micro version of that on IG but somehow following the thread of people's lives is harder.
ANYWAY! Last week I had sew day with the Debbies! I had a great time, always so lucky to be included. Debbie hosted and Deb came up from San Louis Obsipo and we had a lovely time. Debbie always makes a good lunch and we bring snacks and make a day of it. I brought my dilly flowers to hand stitch. I had one ready to sew together and 2 other sets of fabrics prepped. I stitched together the pink one that I had ready left over from another sew day and then with their encouragement I managed to get two more complete! SO SHOCKING.
I mean I get it, slow progress and a poor showing for real EPP people but for me it's huge, I generally don't have the attention span to keep at it. I can't believe I have 6. I really enjoyed it and felt like oh, maybe I could make something with them! #someday
In the mean time I'll hang them on my chunk of old fence that after years I finally hung up. It looked so moody on the last dark and stormy day I snapped a photo. I don't know how many years I moved that fence around the house waiting to hang it up.
Everyone had one way back when I finally found my piece, but somehow I just couldn't find the perfect spot. Now when I walk down the hall I can see it out the corner of my eye and it always makes me happy.
Hope all is well with you friends!

I love the dilly flowers. So talented you are. I do not think I could have the patience to sew one. they look so pretty on your fence.

Friends, food, and stitching... what a fun day! The EPP flowers are gorgeous, and the way you are displaying them too!
What a lovely idea with the piece of old fence. A real conversation piece - especially with your lovely, lovely flower blocks hanging on it. They are so super cute with the bright happy colours. Believe it or not - I used to make wreaths from the barbwire we found on our land and hang it from fence posts and plant flowers in front. Really looked cute - wish I would have taken more pics back then.
Your posts always make me smile and inspire. Love your little posies and they look adorable on the fence. You are a kindred spirit! <3
SEW adorable....and be proud that you blog. I keep threatening to get back....but have to learn how to use the new computer ( which is not so new now) 🤪🤪🤪

I love your fence to hang the blocks!
What a cheery assembly you've created! That fabric heart at the bottom caught my eye in addition to the dilly flowers. -Alexine-
