I just finished making a prototype for an insulin pump pouch for the granddaughter of a friend of my mother. They're not difficult to make, and already I can see some possibilities for personalizing them. It would be interesting to see if I can find a market for them. This pouch features a velcro closure and an adjustable elastic waist strap. There's no reason it couldn't be used for other applications, like coin/key purse for latchkey kids. It's soft enough to be worn under clothes without chafing.
My sewing orders seem to come in clumps. I can go for a long spell without any orders and then, all of a sudden, I have several orders going at the same time. I am currently working on some patches, the insulin pump pouches and a special quilt. I know that as we get nearer to Christmas I can count on a bunch of sweatshirts to embroider and one or two quilts. I'm hoping to finish the patches by Monday so I can deliver them on Tuesday.
It looks like summer is here this weekend. Finally we have some sunny weather and warm temperatures. I took Rocky for a walk around the block and we stopped at a tag sale. I spied some stuffed animals and Rocky took a liking to a stuffed frog that my neighbor bought for him. It was cute to see him walk the rest of the way home with the frog in his mouth. He was so proud.
Thursday night we lost two BIG limbs on a maple tree out back. We were very lucky. Fortunately our neighbor had gone to the grocery store for a few minutes just before the branches crashed to the ground so they missed landing on his car. They also missed taking down the power lines. I called the arborist about taking down the rest of the tree, but so far he has not stopped by so today John and our neighbor cleaned up the two limbs themselves. John is going to be tired tonight!
I'd write more, but my fuzzy buddy has his head in my lap and is telling me it's time to go out.
