Blue Jean Recycling Morning
The huge stack of blue jeans is now becoming more manageable. I started cutting this morning and so far these photos are the by-products. Flat felled seams for coasters. (check out the Polka Dot Pineapple)
The buttons from the waists and some cute little change pockets.
A stack of back pockets...
The hems, I don't know for what but could not throw them away.
and the rest of the stack that still needs cut, but for now I have a blister from the scissors.
And I could not finish without trying one coaster.
I have been collecting these jeans because I have an idea to make I SPY quilts for my grandchildren for Christmas. More on that later. I think I am close to having enough, now I just have to gather the spying items. I can see them in my mind...hope that I can create them.

I found out yesterday that I have to have a hysterectomy on April 1st. That gives me about 11 days to get things in order and have lots of sitting projects ready to be finished, books gathered to be read, and movies taped to watch, oh yeah and did I mention that I HAVE to get my taxes ready, a little procrastinating has been going on there. Suppose I should clean a little also, I really don't like sitting around and looking at a dirty house. Somehow it does not seem to bother me when I feel good, but when I am sick...it drives me crazy!

Oh, girl, I'm sorry about you having to have surgery!! Get things ready, have them labeled so people can wait on you and grab them when the fingers are snapped!! hehehe! It's really really sad we have to have major surgery to take a break and be waited on!! You will be in my prayers for a safe surgery and speedy? recovery....... You let me know if you need speedy or a sorta drawn out recovery (but painless!).
Have a great weekend!! Sunny here:)

Sorry to hear about your surgery, it sounds like you'll have plenty to keep your mind occupied while you recuperate also. Hoping for a very speedy recovery!
I hope you post a pic of the Spy quilt becase I have no clue as to what it is..... pun intended...hee..hee..But seriously please post pictures!
As for your surgery, I will mention you in my prayers, if you don't mind. I believe prayer is a powerful healer and it never ever hurts to have the Big Guy in your corner.
Blessings and have a great week and a very successful surgery.
