I was taking a little break today by strolling through my garden.
Yup, there’s some weeding that needs to be done, maybe some re-arraning & pulling up those perineals that are very intrusitive, and did I say more weeding!
Here’s part of my garden, not many flowers yet, but in July, it’ll be at it’s peak.
Here’s what’s blooming now:
I found the rattlesnake (I think because he was so big about 15″ long) in our storage shed -
he was hissing so much, I think he thought I was going to eat him or he was going to eat me!
and this bumblebee was feasting on Peony!
Time to go back to work….Have a nice day!
My friend Mary, my sales rep for Blank Quilting, is getting the cutest little dog.
Her pooch is a Mi Ki - a “designer” breed - a mix of Maltese, Papillon & Japanese Chin - breeding out all the ‘bad’ characteristics like hyperness, untrainability, excessive barking and shedding - as close to the perfect dog as you can get - he should top out at around 5 lbs.
Isn’t he cute!
This little guy would fit in this new pattern from Blank Quilting - Woven Bag!
I’ll be getting these patterns and will have kits available soon.
It’s so easy to make - grandkids could do it!
