I finished my turtle, that was it for this week. I am working on a new stitchery of the month and other projects and gardening and keeping up with the house and animals, it seems I have less and less time lately, to do it all.
I love how he came out, not perfect but he is fun and makes me smile.
And one thing keeping me busy is, stripping and sewing strips for rug braiding. The great thing is, it will cut down on the old wool stash from the thrifts and I will have it ready whenever I want to make a little rug. I think I will make a mat for the cat dish next, the thinner wools will be good for that. This is just a start, I was trying to sew on my machine and the bobbin messed up again, so I think I need to get my little Juki out and use that, not worth wrecking my good machine, sewing on wools. Sew by hand is relaxing while I watch tv, but it will take me forever.
And of course we went to the beach on the weekend. We stopped at the southern beach after shopping and the tide was almost in, but we still found some nice pieces. The second day we went to our favorite spot, at low tide. There were a few beach collectors that got there first, but I found quite a few pieces that they missed.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. We have rain coming in, but I am s sure I can squeeze in some more beach time.

Turtle turned out real cute. Yes, squirrels are an irritating lot and they have been wrecking havoc on the wood on the front and back porch with their teeth.
Yes, the older I get, the faster the years and days and hours go....I really don’t know how I kept up with everything I did when I was younger. Wow, that’s a lot of wool! Looks like you have some great muted, primitive, colors....Can’t wait to see what you create with them. I love the way your turtle turned out!!! He is sure to bring a smile to everyone who happens upon him. Can I ask what type of paint and sealer (assuming you use sealer) when you do your rocks? I’ve always just used acrylics and an acrylic sealer?? Hope you’re enjoying your weekend....still waiting for spring here.... ~Robin~
Love how the turtle ended up.... it had character.... I love the sound of guinea fowls...

Such a sweet little turtle, oh those pesky squirrels can be so greedy, I have attempted to lure them away from my feeders with a squirrel feeder but those little critters will empty the bird seed first and then go over to the corn in the squirrel feeder, that is until the crows show up. Lovely pieces from the beach.
Wonderful pictures of the animals!
