FRIDAY FLOWERS, et al

 

My belated birthday present

from Jeff, Lin, and

the girls--

isn't it just gorgeous?

I thought it was a mini petunia--

but, as you can see, it

 is a 

"Calibrachoa".

It requires full sun for at least

6 hours a day and plenty

of water;

but no dead-heading is

necessary!!

Here is the tag in my

Altered Book Junk Journal

I drew at little mushroom for company

and then added some cut out mag pieces...

I put the care tag on this page

so I can remember what it is...

Here is a close up of these lovely blooms.

In other sewing news..

I have finished my 12 

scrappy Log Cabins:

They are just put up on the

order I finished them--

willy-nilly--; 

and

most likely I will want

 to re-arrange them...

*******************

Here are the Pavement blocks

I've finished so far:

↶↶↶↶

I am liking that "spark"

of yellow in there so far...

I cut more yellow, darker pink,

and green blocks and

triangle corners this

morning. 

These will be my

weekend sewing...

***********************

Tonight our dinner will be my

Chicken and Rice casserole

which is all prepared and ready

to go into the oven at 4 pm for a 

5:30-ish meal...

YAY

No 4'oclock prep!!

😇

I wish you a happy weekend 

from under

our partly cloudy skies

and growing humidity...

WEDNESDAY'S WALL

 

Here are my current projects...

My log cabins,

(3 more to make of these)

my blue charms, 

Autumn charms, and the new

pavement blocks on the 

far right....

Here is a closer look

at the newest scrappy 

stash-busting for

chunks  pavement blocks:

↴↴↴↴

I am using up a mix of:

yellows, pinks, 

and greens for these.

They are another really 

fun block to make...

:)))

I saw them on Cathy's 

"Sane and Crazy" blogspot

and wanted to make some...

[like right away!!]

👀😆👀

In re-organizing my stash--

[which now has been interrupted

yet again by making another 

new-to-me block !!:))) ]

--hahaha--

I came across those green

Jan Patek fabric leftovers,

and some gifted pinks, 

and my small yellow

chunks leftovers...

I have never done this color combo before

so we shall see how they turn out...

************************

And here we all are at the

SUMMER SOLSTICE

already....

Here is my DIL and my two grands--

Fiona (L) and Willa (R)

enjoying these fleeting Summer days...

and here is my son Jeff

(can you tell he just finished

teaching for the year??)

Happy times with family outings

and many more ahead...

They all visited on Father's Day

and we had a lovely time of it;

plus my daughter also came down

to join us...

****************************

We are hoping to have a BBQ get-together

in July...everyone is checking the schedule..

Ahhhh

"summertime summertime

sum-sum-summertime"

Oh yes!!

;)))
