Quilt block find - a lil bit o' Mickey Mouse

A happy day thrifting is finding 6 partially completed quilt blocks half off ($2.50). The lead-off image include some vintage Mickey Mouse print. 

The backing was included but I will probably choose a different material. 

The only plants to survive the heat and critters were the sunflowers. 

The battle over the grapes is not over yet. The vine is almost fully encased in chicken wire. The grapes are almost ready - and they are most delicious! 🍇

Back at home again and I have slipped back into my work schedule even though I am officially retired. Now I am working for myself. I have completed the audit of my McCall's sewing patterns listed for sale on eBay. The audit of Simplicity patterns will take much longer as the bulk of those listed are that brand. 

Slow sellers in the sewing pattern category are costumes, baby layettes, home decor, and doll clothes. I removed nearly all of the cut patterns from my listings. The only ones kept up for sale are the truly unique or rare. 

I have reorganized my 5 tier wire rack. Product on the floor in baskets are now up on the rack. I am kicking around the idea of eliminating books and CDs from my listings. I may eventually lot up the patterns for sale. 

On a side note, we lost our oldest cat Xena to the heat/predator. She was laying near our front door step when we last returned home. I have stepped up the cat sitting schedule for the remaining two cats when we are out of town.
