Turning eggs!!! OMG how does a hen do it? I guess she gets a lot of rest in between turns! Note to self get an egg turner for the next batch!! I have 38 guinea eggs, 4 turkey eggs and the rest are chicken eggs for a total of 60. Hatch day should really be fun. The guinea eggs are to be turned 5 times a day and that keeps ya hopping!! They will be hatching at the end of the month.
This vintage glider was given to me a couple years ago and was in good shape but COVERED and I mean covered in rust. I worked so many hours on it last year with different techniques and lots of elbow grease to remove the rust and layers of old paint but I finally gave up on it. I decided that it was close enough, albeit still rough, for a coat of primer and then paint. So I did that this week. I am happy with the results and I hope it holds up rust free for a long long time.
I made the cushion today!
Oops a duplicate!! Good thing I like gliders! I have always" loved " gliders. I can't wait to have enough time to sit on the porch and relax. I did sit long enough today to break a mess of green beans that I got at the produce stand today. My neighbor saw me out there and stopped for a visit. Would you even believe me when I tell you that she had one just like it, only black , on the back of her truck today!!!! LOL!! She had just picked it up at an antique store. Guess she was envious of mine ;0)*****
Like I said I made the cushion today. However my mind was not on sewing but on my friend Laura who was in surgery this afternoon. I could barely concentrate and had a total mind block trying to figure out how to cover this foam. I felt for a while like I had never sewn a stitch. I never really figured it out but it works. I am sure there is an easier way!!!!

Laura made it thru her surgery OK and is back in her room. She was diagnosed with Stage III Ovarian Cancer and she will be starting chemo in a couple weeks. My heart goes out to her and her family.
