most of today's sewing--well all of it really--was spent on my secret gift quilt project. i did some quick fuzzy math and realized in order to have the top done by june, will have to make 22 blocks every week....EEEKS! a great motivator and so just joy has been working hard today. but i have also worked on the bird house project....
definitely a work in progress, but while rummaging in the stash for something else, came across 2 prints that thought would work as birds and they do. no rush on this one....
last week bookmobile lady gave me a starter pot with something planted....given out free for national library week. mine had no tag so it was a mystery, but i think it's either cilantro or parsley....plants don't do well here in summer because it's either too hot or too cold (a/c)...so we'll see how long this one lasts...
and my dearest daughter sent me this for mother's day....she has to work sunday but we'll celebrate after...it's nice to be spoiled a bit but really the joy is all mine...
The birds breathe life into your little "open house" quilt. Your fabric choices for them work well.
ReplyDeleteAt this early stage I have no idea what your plant is, either. I would have to go by the smell to recognize cilantro. If it is cilantro, I hope you aren't one of those people whose taste buds scream "SOAP" when they taste it.
Beautiful Mother's Day card!
happy mother's day to you as well janet....
Deletelol I was looking at your pot thinking oh well autumn will be kind to it..........woops.........going into summer.........the countdown is on to see your mum now.........
