Good Morning all. Will leave shortly to go to DD's - the 4 of us are laying 2 pallets of grass today. The good news is that it was supposed to be raining and it's not!

 

Leslie ~ Thank you for the compliment.

 

Everyone have a great day.

[Misa]

Good morning ladies

Mary - Don't ya love that Instant Grass? So much more gratifying than waiting for seed not to mention chasing off all those birds Have a great day at DDs

Julie B

I've been using an H on mine !

[Skysmom]

Hi Ladies. We're back and the four of us had a full tilt yard day. The entire back has grass now, the beds are marked and almost ready for planting and DD and her DH are so excited to see their yard coming to life! It makes me happy to see them so happy.

 

Cara, you are so close to finishing another wonderful quilt!

Bye for now.

[thery4]

Sounds like you are ready for a nice long rest now Mary! You have sure been working hard on that yard....but I know it is all worth it too!

[Misa]

Well, still not getting any time to myself today Oh well, family bonding and all that

 

Athba - the big top will be about 48" x 70" when it's done. I'm only using 6 blocks instead of the 12 the pattern shows. When I'm done I will change the pattern too.

[Aussie]

Mary wow you have been busy with the yard. You certainly need a rest now.

 

Cara your nearly there. Well done. Are you going to do the ducky ghan, or do you have something else in the works.

 

I have done 4 rows on the verticals of the casa. Its a slow process, not sure if it will be ready by this photo friday.

[Misa]

If I ever get to finish this one I'm gonna work on the Christmas Goose and Ducky one at the same time. Now, just got a call from my BIL in Austin saying he's bored and wants to drive an hour and a half to come visit for a bit. Geez, I hope he gets dinner on the way. I don't have enough for four

[JulieKay]

Mary-

 

sounds like you are turning into a regular gardener ! If you decide to hire yourself out for jobs, give a holler. Our yard could use some prettying up .

 

Theresa- hidey ho good friend .

 

Cara -you sound about as thrilled with family get-togethers as I am ....

 

Might be easier to dangle over the Grand Canyon with a rubber band .

[thery4]

Hidey Ho...Julie! How's that WB coming along?

[JulieKay]

Theresa

Thanks for asking -- it is HALFWAY DONE !!

[q8_crochet]

Thanks Donna

 

Athba sorry to hear about your hubby's grandfather.

 

While i had the casablanca sitting on the floor I put the amish on top to see how much I would still have to do. I know that the casa fits right across the top of my queen size bed. I dont think 12 blocks is going to be enough which means that I wont get it done by the 10/8 which is only a month away. I will see how I go but it might have to end up being a xmas present. I dont want to rush it.

 

 

i`m so sorry to hear that it won`t be finished for the birthday

i wish you the best of luck

[q8_crochet]

wow julie

i`m so exited for you

half way is great progress

see everything can be done jusy need to work on it

[Krystal16]

Hmmmm.... Julie - not to be a doubting Thomas, but I don't believe I've seen a picture of this here Woven Blocks - EVEN on Foto Friday on the SKY CAL....

 

Is there a picture coming soon?

[QueenOfCrochet]

I finished the baby gingham.

 

 

 

[Julie B in WA]

Tabby, the shell border is absolutely perfect on that gingham! It's soft without looking ruffly, and could be appropriate for boy or girl. Is this for someone specific? Sorry, I'm kinda new around here and don't have all these projects straight in my head.

[Skysmom]

All cleaned up and working on dinner. DH has said for years that I'm the happiest when I'm playing in the dirt or crocheting...and he's right!

 

Tabby, Your baby gingham is beautiful. Your colors are wonderful and I love the border.

[Skysmom]

Theresa

Thanks for asking -- it is HALFWAY DONE !!

Julie~Great progress on the WB. Congratulations!

[Skysmom]

I have done 4 rows on the verticals of the casa. Its a slow process, not sure if it will be ready by this photo friday.

 

Wendy, you have done so many projects since I've been in this CAL and I really admire you for almost finishing the Casa.

[judianne]

Tabby, both the colors and your work on the baby gingham are so very, very perfect! It's just beautiful:c9

[sewnsew]

Julie, that's awesome that you are halfway finished. I can't wait to see the picture too.

[JulieKay]
