My Weekend!


I spent my weekend in the garden removing old growth from
the perennial beds.  I always dead head in the fall, 
but in the spring the garden gets a second cleaning. 

While I was outside it snowed and hailed on me...
that's Alaska for you!!

I didn't see any butterflies, but I did see a couple of moths.  
I know moths, snow, and hail...what a combination! 


Here is a view of my garden in July!!!



My Mother gave me this little biscuit tin that she found at a 
local thrift shop.   It's a little English 
Murray tin.  
I think its rather cute for a thrift store 
find!  It's very hard to find treasures 
in Alaska!


I did think about knitting, but didn't have time since I was too busy in 
the garden.  I did look at two of my favorite hand knit sweaters, (my
Mom made these beauties for me).  My Mom is a super talented knitter.
Maybe if I get some time I will make myself 
some socks!



My wicker foot stool became a quick weekend project.

 I covered it in fabric
and topped it with an old lace crocheted top and pillow.
I rather liked how it looked so I will 
keep it this way until I tire of it.


Ok...here are the new dishcloth embroideries to go
with the Friday one in the older post.
I think they turned out 
really cute.
No time for knitting when your stitching.

Enjoy your week!
