Happy Saint Patty's Day

 did you wear green today? my Grace & me are still enjoying Sadie's company,getting theses two to cooperate for a photo shoot was a hoot,seems like I clicked that camera 50 times🤣

I stopped by JoAnns this morning & patterns are on sale,but I did good! walked out with only 3! yea at $1.99 I still can't believe it either 😄got a pretty grey print flannel for backing on an upcoming quilt,do you remember when your grandmother made simple square blocks sewn together & tied a yarn knot in the middle of each square? I'm under the illusion I'm going to whip this up & sleep under it this weekend😄oh well more on that later, wishing you a great weekend of happy sewing!

From Clouds To SunSets

early morning started  out with beautiful cloud formations & ending with a beautiful sunset

Grace & her spend a night buddy spent the morning playing & wrestling

I got a few flower seeds started for Spring,I'd seen where you plants seeds in a milk jug & thought I'd give it a try,as flowers start to come out in our local nursery I'll buy ready to plant flowers as well,I just like to play in the dirt & try different ways to grow things,last week I planted a few rows of corn & sunflowers

   seeds are planted watered & jugs are taped back together,now we wait !

Bachelor Button Blue Boys

Holly Hocks

Zinnias California Giants

Zinnias Thumbelina

Purple Cornflower

Carrots

In the next few days I'll plant the rest of the seeds in seeding pots,plant seeds I saved from last year,make plans for the flower beds& get ready for Spring

Robes & Spend The Nights

 Another UFO marked off today,I knew this fabric would be warm & snuggly but didn't realize it'd be bulky & try my soul😄 a quick hem in the morning & I'll be ready for the cold front that's coming in this weekend

friends of mine have a beautiful chocolate lab Sadie whom I take care of when they have to go outta town,my fur baby Grace luvs when Sadie comes for a visit,when they pull all the toys out it looks like a doggie daycare over here😄

A Quilt Finish & A Park Run

 I started this quilt back last year for no rhyme or reason,no contest just because I wanted something cottagee & had enough fabrics left over from other projects,my fur baby Grace always takes claim to the new quilts,she literally was determined to snuggle under it beside me while I was finishing up sewing the binding lol 

I tried to do a photo shoot outside but the backyard is a mess right now with all the rain,as soon as I try to arrange it on the couch she burrows under it ,when I say Grace what are you doing she pops out like "what?"😄

now maybe I can finish my little houses quilt,excuse me Grace's little house quilt😄can you guess where she is when I'm seeing the quilt tops together? I'll give you a hint under the sewing machine lol I'm hoping to finish up some UFO'S this week ,if they don't touch the floor she's content watching out the window for the neighbors cat to walk by😄

I've been sick these past few weeks & we both were getting stir crazy but I managed to take her to the park yesterday

spite this crazy cold front that's came through Spring is definitely in the air 

How Many Blocks?

three months into the Rainbow Scrappy Quilt challenge,there's always plans of big big blocks ,so far that's only happened once lol I'm still sewing together last year's quilt those big blocks turned into little houses lol,the color wash method grabbed my attention ,cute, interesting but no no no I'm making big blocks ,one a month I say!🤣needless to say I've been making 4" blocks for the last 3 months lol! guestimating for a lap size of around. 56x66 I'll need roughly 304 blocks

Greens for March with 27 in

Pinks for February with 21 in

Blues for January with 23 in

I have a feeling this will be a project that won't look right till the end or will it? LoL meanwhile I think I'll catch up on a few more blues & pinks & getting sewing projects finished & be ready for next months new color

Things Are Looking A Little Greener

 

I've managed to squeak out a few green blocks,it's slow going but it's getting there

the weather here has been extremely warm,a few days ago I was able to get a few glorious shots of my niece's back yard,Spring is definitely here

Better Days Ahead

 Just like the title says,that's what I'm hoping for,better Days ahead,this past week something has grabbed hold of me & beat me down pretty good,sitting outside yesterday evening as the sun was setting I spied quite a few beautiful sights,my neighbors cherry blossom tree,a jet going by,a glorious full moon,my dove couple dropped in for a visit,birds at the feeder,no matter what the day throws at us there is always something beautiful in it

the first of the daffodils has bloomed,I have a chipmunk that thinks anything bulb related is his so I transplanted my daffodils into a potting barrel lol

I thought I was going to have to take this little guy into the house as he sat there for the longest but he finally figured out how to fly

there was a glorious sunrise this morning,the makings of a beautiful start for the day

Hoping to make a little progress in the sewing room,I'm still not fully up to par so it'll be one stich at a time
