Sewing Fool

So this week I was rather productive. I sewed. I made a little lap quilt out of remnants from a sample book that I purchased for a whole four dollars. I made my friend new pillow cases for her couch to brighten up the basement. I recovered the duvet that sits in the basement to keep us warm. I'm currently making a new belt and I'm thinking of making a new bag too.
Yep, very productive. I also had an interview this week, which always makes me a bit more chipper. I'm not speculating on whether this will become a job because when I do that it always turns out bad. So we'll just keep our fingers crossed and our hopes grounded.

The rain happens that quickly. So I only got to take photos for about an hour. Anyway, there are a few I like:
Finally I just want to do a shout out to Obama for actually reading the Endangered Species Act and understanding its relevance and importance. That is right people -- you once again will need to be concerned about whether your development is hurting threatened or endangered species. Ah, all is becoming right in the world.
