Paper Nautilus

 
I have walked the shores of the  Sea of Cortez by San Felipe, for 30-40 years  I have found almost every kind of shell  to be found.  When we were there in January of 2013 I found this shell. Went back the next day and found three more.  Treasure for sure. 
Now back to the cabin and look it up and see if I can find out what kind it is.  It is a Paper Nautilus or an Argonauta argo.  If you want to know more about it just look it up on the Internet.


 My daffodils are just starting to bloom.  Spring and summer is on its way.

sewing and more sewing

What can I say.  I love to sew.  I have been making these little trash bags.  They set next to your sewing machine and  collect thread, material and etc, as you sew.   With a pin cushion on top.  I had no pattern so I have been just making it up as I go.  

 They call for a cute little pin cushion to put on  top.  I have searching the internet for cute patterns.  Here is some of them.

If you want just come to my house and you can sew with me .  I have two machines and my years supply of material.
