SIL was mowing the path by the pond and sent me this photo. He'd moved two of my lawn chairs down there and wrote what do you think...with a little outdoor rug, a small table, etc.?
Someone is watching me watching him. I'd just refilled the tray feeder and he was enjoying it very much. They almost have fingers.
The mid summer to early autumn wild flowers are in bloom now. The yellow leaning to orange Hawkweed...beauty under our feet.I just read an article about folks using canned meat more these days. With the ridiculous pricing of fresh meat, no wonder that is happening. Anyway the article included interesting recipes for using the various tinned products, some of which, I'd never known were available in a can.
The wonderful The Vintage Spool has many beautiful patterns and one that caught my eye for fall is this one. Though I couldn't find it on their site anymore I did find it for sale at The Quilt Spot. The work of talented Verna Mosquera...I love her fabric lines too. I like the colours in this one and of course, the hexies. I wonder how much of it I could stitch EPP. Though I love it, I won't be buying this pattern just now. I'm determined to concentrate on WIP's for the time being.
I got in a little Veranda Stitching on the weekend with my own hexies. These are in teals and aquas. I decided to include some in white as a contrast. Not nearly as interesting as Verna's design. Very relaxing all the same.
