Random Word Fun

Getting rid of a little scrap of paper . . . I sure have a lot of these in my life!
I think I got this from a student when I was student teaching (1989).

C D E D B D Dux
M R Not Dux
O S A R Dux
Y I B - M R Dux!
(Sam Howell)

Say the individual letters as words.

Translated:
See the itty bitty ducks.
Them are not ducks.
Oh yes they are ducks.
Why, I be! Them are ducks!

Applique

I'm not a huge fan of applique, but I've mostly done needle-turn (hand-stitching) so far. I'm ready to try machine applique, but have a few too many projects that are more pressing. I love this blog entry and want to return to it when I'm ready to tackle a heart project that's been brewing. Kudos to April Rosenthal for her fantastic blog!

Vestments

I'm not sure I'll ever tackle this, but I want to keep "track" of the info, since it took me a while to find it. My daughter-in-law is a Lutheran pastor. My sister, who has amazing skills, is going to make her a stole for the Lenten season. I located excellent instructions here and shared them with Ann. I've not sewed as much as I'd like lately, and still need to work on being more careful . .  .
