A bit more B.S!

Things are looking up.    My mojo is holding and I'm having fun working on Boys Story.    Sunday I got to work piecing the Alien block.

 Take a look at that shiny new window pane in my craft room.   You can actually see what's outside now.  The Double Glazing man came out last week and replaced all the 'blown' units including this one.  It's much brighter in here now. 

Sunday wasn't all about playing with fabric.   My Mum came over for a painting lesson.   Boy... you know how folks warn you about teaching relatives to drive.... well the same should apply to painting.   Wasn't as bad as it could have been though we both lived to tell the tale......

Once Picasso had settled in  I carried on stitching......

and finished the block.    Here's how the whole quilt is looking now....

Just the Dog block to fit in the bottom corner and I'm working on that one.   So near eh!

It's a sunny day in Scotland.... for a change!    Work on the front of the house is under way.....

Can't tell you how good it feels to have help with the maintenence.  I can't wipe the grin off my face... feels like all my Christmas's have come at once.  Yeh... that good!!

One of my favourite flowers is beginning to bloom....

it's an Astrantia... also know as Hattie's Pincushion.   An appropriate flower for a stitcher eh.

Lastly...... Mac hasn't been well enough to do a second rotavation on his veggie bed......

but there is a nice crop of  'green manure' there now ready to be plowed in.   I offered to rotavate for him but he won't let me.  He's convinced I'll be minus my toes if he lets me loose with the machine.

That's about it for today.   Hope you all feel as happy and content as I do right now..... amazing how watching men at work can perk a gal up isn't it!

See ya soon.... have fun

Hugs
