A July Day

Make me promise there will be no more yard sales unless we move - they are too much work. I love Day Lilies!

A great 4th of July weekend in Minneapolis, Twins game and family reunion.
It's really not the Parish curse that the Twins lost
great to see everyone
and a wonderful time with Marie & Brandon on Sunday.

Walked more, shopped less = a great weekend.

The unvailing

We have a kitchen! A mini home makeover with the counters and sink installed while on vacation was great fun to come home to. I love it - now the trick is to remember where things are.

Sring

New boots to cut pussy willows and walk in the deer poop. I am so happy!

More project

We have walls >>>>>>>

This was last week - could there be anymore trucks in the driveway? Yes, if the driveway were bigger - there were three vehicles sitting on the road and the truck to pick up the full dumpster was waiting to come in. Lunch time was very interesting.

This week has been slower but the cabinets are in Duluth!!!!!

Progress

And my new kitchen >>>>>>

Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Marie

Enjoy your day!

Love Mom & Dad

You've come a long way.

Beach Dreams

My callused feet are just itching to walk this beach.

"green bags"

I know that you can buy green bags for nothing, so why am I making them? Gifts, of course! Like the $10 family gift exchange , shhh dont tell anyone. And they get two matching ones.
Trial and Error, I have perfected just the right design. Joann fabrics had all of their outdoor heavy printed fabric on sale.
Save the earth, remember to bring your bags into the store, but guard them, they are very pretty.

burried

18" in Minneapolis with 3' drifts - guess we won't be grilling anytime soon.

Quilt project catch up

Catching up on quilt blogging.


The baby quilt was for a friends grand daughter.
It was a fun project with extra embellishing done on a road trip.










The top table runner is mine. It was started as a donation to a silent auction but I had to keep it. So I had to quickly make the one on the left for Empty Bowls.

What, nobody ever posts to this blog!

Ok I've had computer issues for three weeks now - that's a good excuse.
