Let's start with sewing. I worked on the project I can't show you and I pieced together some scraps of some silk screen prints on a heavy cotton to make some potholders. The one potholder I have is awful so I needed some new ones bad! I got one done. It is a bit too big, but it works.
I used these buttons which were in my Grandmother's sewing stuff to attach a loop.
Here are the other five I have pieced, but I am going to cut them down. They are just too big.
I worked on trimming up Bubba Jr. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I just keep nipping away at it until I get it just the way I want it. I just keeping taking little bits off then stepping back and looking at it to see how far I want to take it. Here is what it looked at the beginning
and here what it looks like now
I brought three rocks home from work. When the contractors are digging around on the site, rocks show up! The big one was way heavier than I thought. Once I picked it up I wasn't about to drop it so I walked to the car as fast as I could. Oh my wrists were sore all weekend especially my left one.
The little ones came in handy. Here is where I put them.
I transplanted some Shasta daisies into the center flower bed.
and I move rocks to where I am going to need them to finish the edging around the center bed. I will have to dig out the edge a bit and set all the rocks, but having them moved to where I need them helps.
So all the rocks that I had in the driveway
are now down to this small pile
You sure got in a good workout this weekend!
ReplyDeleteGood patchwork on your potholder.
ReplyDeleteAnd more yard work, that counts for strenuous exercise!
I had to read forever to catch up! Bubba and the daisies look good. Never heard of such a thing as that hydrant noise. Ant say I have ever noticed them doing anything here and I have a hyspdrant by our driveway. The rocks are all looking good too!
ReplyDeleteI really like those scraps of screen printing that you are using for potholders. Your yard is looking pretty good now - all that work has paid off.
