long weekend

This is the start to my long weekend with my grandson. Nothing much will get done as we seem to do lots of silly stuff when he is here. My husband and I will focus on having fun with the little one.  So today I'm posting some new photos of what I love about spring. These are all taken from my flower gardens.


 Enjoy your time with loved ones.

still here

Sorry I just haven't felt like blogging lately. Nothing really to write about. It was nice here for a bit so have spent lots of time out side working in the flower beds and yard to get it all nice for the summer.


I did go to a quilt class and learn how to make a snap bag, was lots of fun.



Last weekend I went to our area GTG in Portland Or. I only stayed a few hours but it was fun to catch up with everyone, as I haven't been to a GTG in almost a year.  When my husband picked me up we went out to eat at Red Robbins and ran into our daughter and grandson with some of her friends that had just spent the day at the zoo so we all had dinner together it was lots of fun. It's funny how we all live in the same town but yet ran into each other when we are in a town over 60 miles from home.

When not taking care of my grandson I have gotten a bit of stitching in, I'm working on Bone Cheeks and am about half done. Don't have a photo right now will post one later.


I made a mistake the other day and thought I would organise and get all my WIP, UFO and kitted projects all together and start working on them and I spent a whole day in the craft/sewing room and I think now I have a bigger mess and I can see what I need to work on.

Well I best go see what my sweetheart is getting into as I don't hear any noise in the living room.

Take care and happy crafting.

scissor keep



Last night I finished stitching on the mini sal that I had joined but wasn't sure what to finish it as. Well this morning I woke up with the idea of a scissor keep and went right into the craft/sewing room and made it. I'm really pleased with how it worked out as I had no idea what I was doing this was my first attempt, turned out pretty well if I don't say so myself. LOL

This is part 1 of the mini SAL I just finished it a couple of minutes ago.  I was slow in stitching this as my computer wouldn't let me print it out so had to sit in front of the computer and stitch, this was  a new experience.
