I hope everyone enjoyed Marian's Garden Party Row Along as much as I did. There were beautiful patterns to share, and many giveaways. I hope to use some of the pattern pieces in future projects. My immediate plan is to take elements of our Fins Garden pattern, and work them into a quilt for a child's room. All the sweet sea elements entertaining a child's imagination. Such fun!
Then yesterday we saw the projects completed, or compilations from various patterns shared during the Row Along. I was amazed. I was honestly not prepared to undertake that part myself, but perhaps another opportunity will present itself.
I may not have mentioned the Northcott prints used in Fins Garden, but as you may know, Norhtcott as a sponsor, permitted each participant to choose up to one yard of their beautiful fabric for our projects. Thank you Northcott. I chose gradations prints for the perfect ocean floor and water. They worked so well for me.
Marian Pena at Seams to be Sew is hosting a Hallowe'en blog hop beginning Oct 19th. If you happen on my blog, I hope you will take in he Hallowe'en event. I love many things Hallowe'en, and am looking forward to this one.
I am not part of this hop, but hopefully I will be able to post something I have made for the season.
Today is so very grey here. The wind is out of the southeast, and the rains have been steady and sometimes ferocious. I'll admit I love these kinds of days. They are great for hunkering down with a book,(one that perhaps gets interrupted regularly by life happenings). This may be the day to finish it. Or what about a few hours of this precious quiet day to reflect on just where we are as individuals. In a busy world, we don't always give ourselves permission to do this. What about a nap? Now that sounds appealing to me. This morning I made an urgent visit to our Dr Wolfe, family practice Dentist. One of my molars broke a piece off under the gum line, and I knew I needed to act on it. Dr Wolfe ,who is a bit of a magician, and her staff of caring competent professionals made my experience a pleasant one, resolving the immediate emergency, and creating a plan for care over the next 6 to 8 weeks. I feel comfortable that any dental issues are in capable hands. Of course I have gotten a bit off topic, but our dental health is important.
A couple of days ago this little fellow was out in our yard at home. We have lots of squirrels at the cottage as well, but they are not so inclined to come up on the step for lunch. One morning we saw a feral cat on our back yard and I decided to put a bit of chicken out for its breakfast. My husband was offering graham crackers to the crows or the squirrels, and I snapped these pics with my little camera.
They are cute, but I don't want them to share any of our buildings. Things can get pretty messy.
My heart is full. Love to all
