Newest project


One of my favorite people gave me some lovely vintage fabric so what better use for it than to make her a quilt from it. My second ever quilt, I love how it turned out.

Rain


We have had such a string of wonderful weather. Sunny days, warm but not too much over 80's. Blue skies, not much smog. Cooler nights with enough dew to keep the flowers happy. So you can imagine my surprise walking out of a store today to feel raindrops on my head. I have to admit to being startled, it took me a minute to figure out what was happening. I did get a good laugh out of it, even if it will spot my freshly washed car LOL

Green is the new blue


We have been trying to paint the outside of our house for the last 2 years. Last years bad weather caught up to us so we were left with a leper house for almost a year. This summer we tried again. So far most of the house has 1 coat of paint and much of it 2. Even some trim is completed. If the weather cooperates we might even finish it this year, just in time to start painting all over again. I love the green I picked but bugs also seem to love it, each day I walk outside to see them all over my freshly painted walls. Guess they have good taste too.
