Change of plans

Just found out I am getting house guests again in two days.  Tuesday will be all day in the Clinic so I have lots to do in a short period of time.  I am moving up the giveaway to Tuesday night at 8pm instead of Wednesday.  Doesn't look like many of you are interested so I may not even need Random.

 

I am also offering a free year to Country Home magazine which I get for a friend upon my renewal.  That will be next week, remind me please!!

 

And if anyone can give me some advice on products for hair loss, I'm all ears.  My once thick coarse head of wild hair has been falling out this past year and is continuing.  Handfuls.  So upsetting, been tested, no answers.  The top is actually see through to the scalp and is getting worse, Toppix helps the look but I need to do something before it's gone.  Been taking Biotin and D3 and B's for many months.  I know of women that used Rogaine, one had more loss and no growth, another stopped it and became worse than before.  Next step - I am considering an appointment with a follicular transplant doctor if it doesn't stop. 

 

If you still want to enter the Henry offer, please do so on this post only...

Enjoy your day.

Catching rays

A sunny day in the warmth of a leaf pile.

He's easy to spot now, but come winter he will blend right in with the white crap.

Simple, flimsy,

but a sweet finish.  Fusible interfaced, lined with muslin, reckless hand stitched edges.

A piece of dyed something or other slipped through the top for hanging.

3" wide x 8.5 with fringe.

Want it?  Speak up on this post!

Cleveland this week among other appointments so let's say Wednesday evening at 8 pm Random will do its job.  As always, most are no-reply, so check back for results.

Please include initials since some may have the same first name, or if you are anonymous. 

Thanks buds.

The never ending finish

 

Every few months I come across the ponies and try to line it properly, and attach the sewn straps.  This wool is not felted, but still heavier than my usual finish.  The blue ticking lining I chose would add even more bulk so I planned to use the dark brown silky stuff.  Which is no where.  I must have included it in the fabrics I donated.  Then again, it could be hidden in a pile.  Stiff fusibles on front and back still allow the pouch to open so much the lining is visible several inches down and it sticks out far enough to hit it when passing.

 

A leather closure, a button, small buckle, I don't know.  Attaching the straps to the inside back makes it fall open more, the sides cave it in, and the inside front makes for a wonky hang.  I even made a second strap which would solve the problem but it looked like my mom's old needlework purse.   I wanted to sell this but I don't think it will be a good enough finish to do so.  Maybe if I sewed the opening shut!! There 'ya go!  A pouchless pouch!  For now, I will set it aside while I get the sewing room in order.

 

How long has a not quite finished finishing project hung around for you?

 

Have a great weekend!

Something like this...

 

 

Chart will reflect changes from removing the 646 and reposted later today.

Much better

It was the 646 that was offending Henry.  The 730 does very well with the 632 and I like the center wording one color so I did not correct my error.  The next line (my crown) will be 730 and the bottom area will be the 3371 used in the top.  Or do you think the bottom should be the 632 and not another color change because of its small size?  Stitching is slow because of another flare up with my eyes.  But I'm getting there!!

 

Have a good day!
