I sort of forgot to post yesterday. I realized yesterday evening that I had not done a post but also realized that I didn't really have anything to post about. I'm doing quite a bit of yardwork with weed control and trimming shrubs Unlike most of you real gardeners, when I say I'm "trimming shrubs" it means that once every 5 years or so I go and do this. These 2 boxwoods were so big that the foliage completely filled the back of the pickup truck. They will either live or not and, if not, I'll plant something else. But I also have the sides of the guest house and garage that look really ratty like this and I'm trying to to be so brutal with them. That's what I'm working on now. So this just isn't anything I'm interested in blogging about daily. There just isn't any sewing or quilting going on right now. Because inside the house I've become fixated with finishing the beaded wall. The mess was getting out of hand and that means it's time to wrap it up. Late last night I finished be rest of the beads. Today I will start finishing off the background and I'm going to focus on it until it's done.
After this my goal is to finish the dye sink backsplash. I have tiles to do another section of the basement but I'm really trying to talk myself out of doing another section because I'm starting to look like a crazy person. Chris is not helping. I discussed it with him this morning and his response was "Yes, you will look like a crazy person but it looks a lot better than concrete block." You probably won't hear from me tomorrow because I'll be in the basement listening to a book and filling in white tile. Fabric of the week!The window near my computer overlooks a pond and a beautiful pink Dogwood tree. In celebration of this tree blooming to bring in Spring, I selected a beautiful pink fabric pack to feature this week. Venetian is a lovely soft rose pink and it's on sale 20% off through Sunday! Gradients back in stock!Two of your favorite gradients are back in stock this week. The first is Beach Walk. Patricia Caldwell used Beach Walk in her Arizona Dreaming art quilt. Sue Bianchi wove strips of Gray Skies Gradient for the base of her Liberty Marches art quilt. |
