Well, happy Monday! I’m sitting at home while my car is in the shop getting a hole in the tire fixed and new rear brakes. Not how I intended to spend this morning but now I can catch up on laundry and blog posts! See, a silver lining lies within.
We had gorgeous weather over the weekend! The lawn chairs came out and the badminton net went up! It was blissful. Today is another beauty, Wednesday will be a different story…anyway…
We also painted and hung up the three bird houses that the girls have made over the years in Tech Ed class. I love this tree with all of its fun color.
Isn’t it fun?
I’m going to send a picture to the Tech Ed teacher since he may wonder if the kids ever actually paint the birdhouses and hang them. I feel like I would want to know that they were being used.
I worked on the art quilt some…got the hair thread sketched…
Got the shorts stitched…
Got the white t-shirt logo appliqueing done…
Went back to the granny square crocheting. I changed up the color of the yellow yarn. The original one on the left is too pale looking for the living room. I really need a gold color. I like the gold on the right much better. Also…check out how much better the square came out second time around. I am looking forward to moving along on this during the week. I really do enjoy crochet.
How was your weekend?

Love those birdhouses! The girls did a great job!
And the granny squares are nice too. I could more easily see myself eventually taking up crocheting than knitting. I used to crochet a lot when I was maybe 8 or 9 years old; my grandmother taught me. I liked doing it but didn’t keep it up. Still, I could see it feeling comforting and nostalgic for me! Still n’ all, for now I barely have time for the quilting and hand-dyeing as it is–not loading anything else onto the mix!
I’ve been loving the nice weather too, though I’d planned on taking a walk this afternoon until it start pouring buckets. Not sure I have enough time to get to the gym, though. Guess it’s laps around the house!
I think it’s nostalgic for me as well. It really reminds me of my grandmother while I’m crocheting. I hope you pick it up again!
