Congrats! Sounds like great fun & much more relaxing than the formal indoor weddings. Glad the new hubby likes same things you do so you can "junk up your place together" with lots of fun projects. Welcome back! Jan

Hi. I should be a lot busier but until the one section of fencing is replaced there's only so much that I can do. My deck and driveway are a disaster. Full of container plants with nowhere to go. I'd love to dig a new bed out front but can't figure out where to put it that wouldn't look terrible, besides that I don't have the energy to run the tiller and DH is busy at the farm after work.

David welcome back. I do hope that this time around you will not get sick when you have to move the plants in. I would love to look at your pictures. Old or new....I LOVE pictures. Especially to compare how things change from season to season. Could you post a link to your site? Thanks Crossing my fingers for you that you will see NHDP and AT with a flush before wintertime. Looking forward to get to know you more and sure hope your health is as good as it can be. Lucy

Good to hear from you Maryliz....wow you have been busy...I took a fabric dying class and it was a lot of fun...not something I want to do much of in my house. I am going to visit a lady for a class on painting on fabric and then you put it in the sun to set the colors...maybe then I can decide what I want to invest my money in, paint or dyes. Wonderful you are moving your sewing out of the basement to your very own space....you will love it...don't forget to include good lighting in your new room...aren't hubbys wonderful when it comes to our hobby. This summer is pretty quiet for us...last year we painted the house, garage, fences...15 gal. of paint and my shoulder still complains. We also had quite a bit of company and I did get to the Moose Jaw Quilt Show in April...so I guess I will enjoy seeing pictures and writeups on trips others take this year. I have dragged out a quilt that I started quilting in 2003 by machine....gave up because it was too heavy....couldn't get the stitching out so now I am hand quilting what is left. This was a block exchange my guild did so I treasure it. Looking back I sure have learned a lot...my borders are terrible...I did diamonds on the sides and they didn't work out even...I am chuckling as it is almost ugly. Keep us posted on your projects and pics and have fun with that new sewing studo. Jean
