The Cats Meow...

  Whiskers is helping me to stitch up a few Cat pillows. You can see how helpful he is. I am glad when he takes a nap...no grabbing the needle with each stitch or running off with my lace pieces.

Rain- Rain go away....

Rain  Rain go away---- In the DIRT I want to play !  We planted in a hurry last evening....Rain  Rain and more rain in the forecast for today.  All my plants will get a good soaking .

  Oh my is that what I think it is ? Will our plants be there in the morning ?  I am hoping the deer are well fed and that they don't snack on our vegetables .

 The dedication for our Community Garden is set for 1:00 pm on Saturday. Hoping a few others will get a start on their garden plots before then.  Still have so much more I would like to plant.  The Shop will be open  Saturday. I won't be able to be at the opening, but my heart will be there ! Wishing all HAPPY GARDENING....

Sunday...Sunday

  We spent a BUSY Sunday planting , sewing , and demolishing for my new old bathroom door.  PLANTING...Getting ready for our grand opening of the Community Garden on the 20th. I decided to use up some pots that we got at a garage sale to plant up the tomatoes and herbs. I will just set them in the plot as is. Still deciding how to fill up the rest of the plot. I know that I want a birdhouse on a pole and I want to plant up an old chair. It's been fun planning. SEWING... Sold the pretty green floral bed set that was on the rope bed up front so I spent some of Sunday sewing up a new set...we can't have a empty bed can we !

  This new cream and pink set came out so pretty , love the eyelet inset on the pillows.

 Planted up an old wicker chair that was to frail to sit in. I love the new coralbell varieties that are  out,  they are so pretty.   DEMO... My Hero tore out the old ( new ) door and wall to the bathroom ! Talk about no private space...Oh my. Pictures when it's done....Hope it's QUICK.

Gratefulness...

 Mr Whiskers has decided that all this paperwork is unnecessary....he has become our new shredder ! We have to be careful what we leave out. Crazy Cat....

 I finished the new pillow for our sofa. A great reminder to give God Thanks in all things ! Even the hard stuff , he will use it all for good !  Have a great weekend...

Shopping and Creating....

 

 Shopping and Creating two of my favorite things ! Sunday we went looking for more wonderful treasures for the Shop. I found this great old green metal cupboard with shelves covered in old maps....love it. A chippy white old  round tall standing shelf...great in a bathroom or garden room ,an old  rose covered wallpaper storage piece with drawers, great old striped suitcase, a vintage umbrella and hat stand and other treasures are now in the Shop. Sunday evening I put the finishing touches on a few projects...Lavender Sachets and Old Book collages. Working on some new pillows...

The Birds are here !

 We just got in  new BIRDS.... Sold Out during Open House. We have a few different kinds , Wrens, Bluebirds, Brown Thrashers, Chickadees, Sparrows and Warblers. These are so CUTE....get them Quick before they all fly away.

Meows Tired...

  Finding myself needing to just sit still....so much rushing around for Open House. It is good to regroup...read a book...enjoying the shop all clean and pulled together.  Taking time to plan our little garden plot, which opens on the 20th.  What to plant ? Flowers or Veggies.....
