Mine are dirty ... nuff said!
Yesterday was a wonderful day to go plant shopping.
It feels like we're finally moving into summer - uh, spring - uh, summer!
The Home Depot always has a large selection of plants, and plenty of them!
The sun was out (kinda hot, actually!), there was a gentle breeze, and all the colorful plants just made me happy!
I picked up some coleus, vinca vines and petunias for the planters on my front porch.
On another note, I made more of the little black and white houses I started a couple weeks ago.
I know the layout I want to do, but for some reason it's just not working out. I need to just pick everything up and lay out the background fabric, then place the house blocks where they belong.
I have about 18 blocks pieced - that's enough to make a throw sized quilt.
And that gives me a great opportunity to use some of this pretty black-on-white fabric. I think I bought it last October on the Lancaster trip, and I've been wanting to cut into it.
Birds, pine cones, holly, snowflakes - what's not to love!
That's it for now, have a great Thursday, sew forth and sew on ...
I have been collecting house patterns for a few years now, I am completely fascinated with them. I am following your house progress with glee, thanks for the black & white idea :)
ReplyDeleteLinda....I just got back very (VERY) early this morning from the east coast. Was reading your recent posts and you mention Maryland Live! casino. I was staying at the Marriott just next to that casino/mall yesterday!! Small world.
ReplyDeleteLove your houses. I'm looking forward to seeing how you plan to lay them out.
I'm looking forward to how you set those cute little houses! Love the bright doors!
ReplyDeleteI feel silly - it took me waaaaay too long to figure out that those were birds in that last print, and even then I had to tilt my head to the side before it dawned on me. ("What ARE those things??")
Boy the flowers at your Home Depot look brighter and happier than mine in Texas. I will be anxiously waiting to see how you decide to layout your houses.
