Sewing madly

[wiseheart]

... because tomorrow I'll be fairly busy, and the day after is cleaning frenzy, so I needed to make some progress. Which I did. All page bases are on the same level of completeness - meaning not at all. The more I do, the more details I realize need to be added, and July is picowrimo time, when I'll make pitiful attempts to get some writing done. That leaves me less than a week from June (with lots of interruptions, like the dentist appointment) and August. That is very little time! I'm starting to panic earnestly!

In other news, we had a downpour last night - as foreseeable, the balcony yielded - which meant marginally more bearable temperatures in the morning. Right now we are back to 27°C inside the flat. I'm not leaving for the next couple of days, unless I absolutely have to!

Cherries showed up last week. I've managed to get very yummy ones at Auchan. I'm also toying with the idea of making some cherry stone pillows for the charity fair, if I can get enough of the things. One of my (ex-)colleagues promised to save them for me while making preserves - we'll see how many come together. I've got some fabric rests I need to get rid of, and for this task I might even try my luck with Louise the Younger (=baby sewing machine) again. That would be quite the time-saver!

I wish I´d be able to send you our cherry pits. Hubby has bought an automatic cherry stoner, and cherries are cheap this year. With Cassian and Flavius for visits and hubby a jam addict, organic waste bin almost collapses because of cherry pits!

Such riches slip through my fingers! :(

I imagine it takes a lot of cherry stones to make a pillow, but it sounds like a great way to use up fabric scraps.

One needs tons of the things, so I'm not sure the whole project will be doable. But I can always make the pillow cases and keep them ready for the filling, right?
