In My Neck of the Woods

I  have washed and polished and  popped my treasures back where they belong in my freshly painted entry way. It is so lovely and bright.

Makes me happy every time I walk down the stairs!

Our beloved pooch "Doc" is back in his rightful place to oversee the coming and goings through our front door. Something he used to love to do before his departure over the rainbow bridge.

So all is well with the world.
My garden surprised me yet again with a fairly new addition to my tree orchids....gifted from a friend .......giving me 5 gorgeous blooms.

 I watched each little flower unfurl.....beautiful!

Funny little story, you may recall my being gifted lettuce seeds from my friends Dad. Well I went down to the patch with my seeds wrapped in a tissue to sow a few......big gust of wind.....they blew straight down the furrow I had prepared...the whole lot! Much too tiny to recover them. So....
Guess I might get a few lettuces....lol! They go all the way to the back of the plot!

The task that I dislike the most about "patchwork ".....the cutting..... but it is happening for Ruth's Quilt. Still about 50 strips to go......argggggh!

Shoulder doesn't like it so the rest will have to wait a bit. I love how the fabrics are looking together. This has been a very nice detour off the road of "all things planned".
But I figured as I have been very industrious with my Ufos this year, it was allowed.
Also sewing bright circles.

And that's about it for my little corner of the world. I do hope you are enjoying your week.

Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
