Happy Tuesday Tale of two Dresses, PS from Cali

 

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus   

Several years ago I bought 2 T shirt dresses the red (below) and a black and white striped both on sale at Walmart.  Both were a bit short for my age. My intention was to return them; however, during a recent merging and purging in my closet I discovered I still had them.  I engaged my creative sewing brain coming up with a plan to use them. The black and white striped one was a shift.  The red had the flared tiered skirt and pockets.  I cut off about 10" from the bottom of the black and white, hemmed it making a very comfy and cool top.  The bottom of the red dress was at least 2 times wider than the black and white.  I cut the black and white in half.  Then I cut each half  again giving me 4 pieces all the same width. I sewed the 4 pieces of black and white together, attached it to the bottom of the red dress.  I have a new cool top and a new summer dress.   I am happy with both of my creations.  The dress is very cool and comfy to walk in on hot days too 

   







PS  from yesterday's sneaky moves

Dear Auntie HiC & Friends,
Wow! I appreciate all the positive feedback on my stealth mode moves.  You’ve encouraged to practice my moves more on poor Kat & Rocky! 😹

Easy Sunday June 29, 2010

 

Cats regard people as warm-bloodied furniture...Jacquelyn Mitchard
A Dog wags its tail with its HEART....Martin Buxbaum

Mom recently read 'Who's Kitten Who? by Cynthia Baxter. 
She gives it 5*****
The main character, Jessica Popper, is a Veterinarian and amateur sleuth.
At the beginning of each chapter there is a quote about animals.
Mom loves them all and will periodically share them with you all.
The book Mom read before this one was 'Deception Point" by Dan Brown all 700+
pages it was excellent too but she said it required lots of concentration. 'Who's Kitten Who'
was sweet, funny and gave her brain a rest.

Symmetry Saturday & Chasing Classic cars..(not)


 I saw this car when I was out and about last week.  Couldn't snap a photo then 
Lo and behold it was parked in a driveway a few blocks from home.
I thought it was surely exotic...we drove up for Bryan to see it.
He told me it is not a classic it is some type of kit one can build.
I still thought it was rather snazzy...even though it was not RED
And well there was symmetry too

Today I have a 3 fer for y'all all in one!!

 Dear Auntie HiC, 

 Do you have cicadas where you live?
Our woods in north Georgia are full of emerging cicadas.




While some might find the “buzzing” eerie, deafening, or even annoying, I purr-sonally consider the cicada sound purr-fectly  relaxing, calming & soothing. 


Join me for a nap! 





Lovingly 
Cali,

Auntie HiC

Curiosity

Incredible insects

Cali thanks for the great informative post

Auntie HiC likes their red eyes

Did you know they've been in literature since Homer's Iliad

Avast majority are active during the day as adults with some calling at dawn or dusk. Only a rare few species are known to be nocturnal

Dearest Niece Cali you do have a sleeping beauty buzzz 
 As hot as it is above ground, the are gonna be shocked when they leave their cool homes under the earth,
What an orchestra they have too. 
Lovingly Auntie HiC

Happy Tuesday from my Photo Journalist


 

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus   



In mid June, Janice, my friend, former co-worker and Photo Journalist sent me two beautiful photos she took.  Janice lives a about 20 miles from us.
A beautiful double Rainbow  after heavy rain on June 15th



And twin black kitties that are loved and cared for by the neighbors in her area.

They are fed and have water and shelter...I loved the photo of them playing peep eye with Janice 


and ESPECIALLY the precious kitties napping together.  It is hard to tell there are two.  They decided Janice's patio was a safe place to nap.

FLASHBACK JUNE 20, 2015

 This box is one of my new favorite 
boxes it has a foam 
 cushion in it and I fit in it purrfectly


Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. Ellen came up with the first two and my wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.
1. I avoid going outside after dusk like the plague. Mosquitoes see me as their buffet. My blood type is O+ learned years ago that is their favorite meal.
2. I hope to find lots of time to work on my 'crochet project' this summer.
3. My favorite subject in school was home economics, I took it for 5 years
my teacher was excellent.  She taught me so many skills that I still use.
4. I wish there was a way  for adults to learn to not worry about what other adults think. And spend more time remembering how it felt to look at world thru the eyes  of children.
