Daily Notes- June 29th



Finished the most recent border this morning after breakfast. I quite like the little one inch circle patch.  It's raining.  Has been since yesterday morning.  A good steady rain- all day, all night and now all of today.  
We were told you we in a serious drought with no rain forecast for weeks and more likely most of the Summer.  And, I guess they got the forecast wrong.
We were supposed to be having lots of lightning.  I prefer thunder. We have neither. 63 degrees.

Yesterday- my intention was to finally get around to doing our taxes-- I know- I say this all the TIME. But I got highjacked by a few missing papers. Daughter had all hers but we did not.  Ended up having to call the company and.......gosh I enjoyed yelling out answers to the recorded person.
Tax statement.  Paper copy.  Mail.  And the mechanical voice said that while it's nice to have a paper copy- they aren't necessary to file taxes- but it does help to get the info into the correct little boxes..

PBS had the story (yesterday) of the Queen of England most people have no knowledge of- except for the movie version of her life- The Favorite.  She did quite a lot to improve England and joined the three countries into the United Kingdom.  She was pregnant 17 times and never carried any of the babies to term. She died in her mid 40's.  And I have quite forgotten her name.


Here is the linen robe/jacket with a trial run of a appliqué for the pocket.  The fabric was quite yellow and stained from years of being on a hanger in the Attic.  It washed out but the fabric is more of an antique white (vanilla) now.  Which is okay.  As this particular item will never be worn in public. 
I live a minimal life.  So just the one pocket embellishment might be enough even though the jacket/shirt has two additional pockets lower that one could embellish.
I am noticing a face in this pocket adornment.  I do not like that.

I particularly love the patch at the top of your blog. It's striking with the black stitches. I do like the pocket patch too.
