Wrapping Up Another Week

  Hi everyone. Happy Friday. Hope you're having a good week. We were supposed to have a very hot week, but then all the Canadian wildfire smoke blew in, keeping the temperatures down quite a bit.  The cooler temperatures were great, but obviously, not the smoke. It's too bad there are wildfires again too.  

   One day the sky was yellow (that was weird), and then the other couple of days it just looked cloudy. However, it wasn't cloudy; it was  just smoke.

   And no, my photos are not as  dramatic as some I have seen on TV. I'm sure some of you have had far more smokey scenes. But one thing I noticed yesterday that I have never seen before is  a sun reflection on my deck. It had rained the night before so there were puddles, and the sun was leaving a light bright dot.

   I hope if you're also in the smoke it's not too terrible, and let's hope the fires stop too.

  Today I'm not here to talk about smoke but to join Halle for her Fabric, Trim and Lace challenge at Art Journal Journey. I'm also joining Nicole for Friday Face Off and also Gillena for Friday Lunch Break.

   Today I have another unfinished cloth journal page. I made these pages before my machine went off to be fixed, and it's just been either too hot or too busy so I haven't yet gotten back into sewing since my machine came home. 😏

   I have a package of these 1930's prints pre-cut into hexagons. It was a pack with some odd cuts, meaning many of them might have an edge that is a little longer than the other 5 edges.  Anyhow, that's an easy fix because I can just cut those to the correct shape. I took 3 and stitched them  down on my page. Then I also printed off the face using some cotton fabric that could go through my printer. (If you're curious and didn't see how to do that, you can see it here: Sewing in Progress.)

   I die cut the flower out of some scrap fabric, and before I sewed that and the face down I used some yellow ric-rac trim across the page.

   That's as far as I have gotten. For now.

   I'm not sure if I'll be joining Sunday in the Art Room and Sunday Smiles as I have a lot going on this weekend. I could schedule a post, but I'm not sure I will be able to get around to everyone's blogs to comment, so if I don't post, have a super weekend and start to the new week. If I post, I'll see you Sunday.   And if I haven't been by your blog recently, I will hopefully be by soon. 👍
