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!
