Flowers & Goodwill Finds

 

Today my friend and I 

planted these flowers 

out by my front door. 

She had given me them as 

a thank you for helping her 

make the quilt for her great grandson.

 The stepping stone in front

 of them is from 2008 

and has footprints of 

my granddaughters when they were 

little girls. 

It's a treasure.

I went to Home Depot 

this morning to buy some things 

for my drip lines and while 

I was in town I stopped off at 

the Goodwill. 

I haven't been there 

in a very long time. 

I scored these two metal canisters 

for dog treats, 

aren't they adorable? 

Then I saw these two dark blue coffee 

cups and this pretty aqua bottle. 

I love putting bottles 

in my windows with just one or two 

little flowers in them.

This wreath looks like lavender

but it is actually plastic.

I like these kinds of artificial flowers

because they look like new

after a few minutes in warm soapy water.

.

Next is my chicken wire holder 

with three mason jars. 

I think it will be beautiful 

with flowers in it 

this summer. 

Well that's my treasures. 

I spent $20.50 for everything. 

I didn't need a single thing 

but when does that stop us 

when it's a bargain, right! 

All of you ladies know what 

that's all about. 💕

Have a sweet day 

and 

God bless you.

P.S. I did this post on my phone,

and sometimes the fonts are

impossible to fix.

My phone has a mind of it's own 😖

What Have You Been Doing?

I've been helping a friend

make a quilt for her 

great grandson.

Isn't it pretty,

He is going to love it.

I had so much fun helping her :)

Myself I've been doing Spring yard work.

And making a few more cards.

That's my post . . .

short and sweet :)

I hope you have a wonderful

week.

God bless you all!

The Bad And The Good Of My Week

 I've been having

a good week

&

Truly hope that you

can say the same 😊

I needed a couple greeting cards 

but didn't feel like driving to town. 

I haven't made homemade 

cards in such a long time, 

it was actually a lot of fun.

I went to Pinterest 

for inspiration.

Do you remember the grow light 

stands that I made a couple 

weeks ago.

Well, some of the plants

are up and doing

very well :)

These are little tomato plants.

Another thing I did this week 

was work on a quilt. 

I was doing free motion quilting 

and I thought everything 

was going well,

until I looked at the back 

and found that the tension

was off.

I had a half a bobbin 

of sewing to rip out 😫

Oh well, we have to take the 

bad with the good. 

It's all ripped out now 

and I can start again. 

Actually I have nothing 

to complain about.

Ripping out some stitches 

is a very trifle thing.

God bless you all!
