WHEN YOU COME TO THE END OF A PERFECT DAY

Yesterday had a bit of everything. Sewing, gardening, and knitting.  I didn't have to leave the house which is unusual on a day off.

I started with finishing up the X and + blocks for Cindy. I thought these were my last four, but I need to make one more set.

Choosing fabrics is always fun


Here are this months blocks for the Friendship swap


.......and all the blocks so far.  I think we are all going to try to have our quilts done for September.


This photo is for Kim.  I've been encouraging her to try knitting a sock. She does amazing things with wool and I just know she would find these fun!


The heel flap has been made and the heel turned.   Now to pick up side stitches and I am home free !

Over the Easter week end, Hubby designed and built an amazing garden box.  He enlisted a couple of the boys to help.

It started with ripping up the old one

son #4 has barely taken his hat off since I finished it  : )
then they started building the new one and before long,  Voila!


Today I planted some things. Hubby designed it with a sort of 'hip' going all the way around where I put strawberries. The top will hold all the veggies.  So looking forward to all that fresh food.

All in all a perfect day.
