Yesterday I spent 4 hours outside cutting volunteer trees and pulling weeds and I'm feeling it. My little helper came at 3 and we have a huge pile of volunteer trees at the end of the driveway and the bark path through my back garden revived. While inside cooling off around lunch time I sewed 6 more blocks, these 3 and their duplicates.
I have enough blocks made now to make this 8 across by 9 down instead of the 7 across that I had planned. This is one half of the blocks and I need to still do a little rearranging.
Suppose to be really hot and humid today. Maybe would be a good day to stay in and sew. I cleaned yesterday. 4-H baking today with Taylor. Baking bread this year. Chris
sounds like you got a lot done. I have way too many volunteer trees to even remotely get them all taken care of so I usually go around with a spray bottle of a brush killer and very carefully give them all a squirt unless they are close to other things then I have to try other methods.
Hard to keep up with our gardens come July, I agree. I have been using 16-16-16 on my flower beds and it has really given some of my old plants new life. I have been enjoying all my blossoms. I won't mention even mention the weeding. (*._,*)
Careful how much you work outside Wanda, we have the same weather and I've been cutting and weeding at my brother's house and I am amazed how fast I seem to overheat. As always I enjoy seeing your batiks and blocks!

ReplyDeleteIt is so nice that you have that "little helper" - have you developed a plan to keep her on after she pays off the doll house?

ReplyDeleteRest well today - you've earned it!! Fabric therapy is in order . . . .
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will have a rest day today with your feet up and a good book.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you are "feeling it"!!! That's a lot of outdoor work.
ReplyDeleteLove those blocks!

I overdid the gardening yesterday with a school working bee in the morning an all afternoon in mine. Very stiff and sore today!
