Noisy Baby Robins

The nest outside the kitchen window has at least two baby robins in it. I watch the parents go back and forth getting worms and bugs to feed the noisy little babies.

One of the robins found the birdbath in the herb garden. I see lots of birds in the herb garden but that robin is the only one I’ve seen in the birdbath.

I spent about three hours yesterday morning transplanting plants in the greenhouse. The plant sale is May 23 and we need to have everything labeled and ready to go. I’m hoping to get the grass cut in the garden this morning. It might rain tomorrow (who knows?) and I want to stay ahead of it.

After lunch yesterday, I worked on a Scout Tee out of another chunk of Brussels Washer Linen. This is a dark denim blue color and I think it will get worn a lot. I got as far as pinning in the second sleeve.

I’m setting these sleeves in flat. I have nothing against setting in sleeves the conventional way, but if I can set them in flat, I’ll do it that way. The only issue I am having with the fabric is that it frays like nobody’s business. I staystitched everything and am serging all the exposed edges.

I’ll finish this one and cut out another one. I might as well make four or five while I’m at it. I bought the Sleeve Expansion Pack, too, just to mix it up a bit.

One of my later-in-the-summer project ideas—after our summer guests return home—is to set up a space in the rental house where I can do some filming. I feel myself sliding inexorably toward a YouTube channel of some kind. The podcast already has one, but it exists only so I can park the audio recordings there.

I am still cogitating on this plan. There may be pitfalls I haven’t uncovered yet. 🧐
