TGIF

Lots of small stuff to talk about. I stitched on the JB piece before work and at lunch time yesterday. I was happy with my progress. I stitch this design in a two step process. First I stitch a line then I go back and stitch the spikes. Here is were I am right now.

When I got home from work my Intruder rodent traps had arrived. Here you can see how much bigger they are than the ones I previously bought. I will use the small ones in the garage for mice. I looked this morning and so far I have not caught anything. I am going to get some sunflower seeds to bait the traps and see if that helps lure those pesky chipmunks to their demise.

While I was out setting the traps my neighbor asked if I would let the internet guys into his house because he had to leave for a surprise party.  Of course I agreed and then looked around for some sewing to work on while I waited.  It turned out the internet guys weren't coming so I could water my plants instead. Before I watered I had to patch another hole in the hose. When I had pulled down the railing I didn't notice that it would fall on the hose. Oops! I got out my Gorilla tape and that fix it.  I bought a new hose this year and made the mistake of buying a medium grade hose.  It is a crappy hose.  Don't know if it will even last one season.  

I did get the replacement t-shirts to replace the backs. Now she wants all four replaced! Geeze! I also got the backing cut to size. I didn't remember that I bought 6 yards of that backing. I plan on using it for the binding too.

I got some fill in work done on the latest Keeper of the Pins small. The tomatoes are filled in so now I will work on the spool.

Good news: #1 My niece's house. The insurance company is taking the bull by the horns and is going to get the mess squared away. What a relief! #2 My covid test is negative this morning! This weekend I plan on getting the t-shirt quilt fixed, pin basted, and hopefully get started on the quilting. I want to get a few more board off the deck and got around the yard to pull any weeds that popped up since last Sunday. I can't believe the 4th of July is right around the corner! Where did June go? Have a great weekend.
