Been busy as usual

It has been fruit season here and still will continue. I spent several days making jam. Peach, plum and even fig. 

I've also organized and cleaned our laundry room. Our largest chest freezer would not shut and found out the seal in the lid had come loose and ice had built up in the insulation. Got that that fixed and freezer cleaned so it has been a good few weeks. Sonny finished pressure washing around the house and storage buildings and has cleaned up the yard.

In sewing, I took a couple of  old jeans and made some book bags.
I used the remaining parts of the jeans and a piece of fleece I had left over from a baby quilt and made a small bath rug.
I am steadily working on redwork embroidery.
My next project is a request made by oldest granddaughter. 
I'll have to buy some denim and then hopefully find some old jean pockets somewhere.
Speaking of oldest granddaughter....she and her boyfriend finally made a decision on the wedding venue. 
Here is the link....
It is a gorgeous place and is between where we live and Hot Springs so less than 50 miles. I have printed her a wedding planner I found online. Her mom is getting a ring binder and will decorate the cover.
We are all excited but still a year and 2 months off.

Our youngest granddaughter got a new puppy ...her name is Bella and she is a Cockapoo.
And as always....
