I found the magazine at Tractor Supply. I knew I could purchase it there, however the last time I was there, it hadn't come in yet. Stopped by yesterday and snatched a copy!
Thank you again Connie, for pointing out the magazine! What a great idea! I'm looking forward to putting my Fairy condo together.I'm thinking of putting it by the old oak tree. That's where our fairies live! The strawberry patch could be a good place too! Hum ...

Beautiful quilts Connie and Carole! Love the fairly gardens! How Cute!
Decided to knit myself a sweater without using a pattern. Just a simple one. So far it's looking good. I'm at the part of deciding the size of the armholes. I'm using Kitten mohair yarn my daughter purchased for me a few years ago. Hope it will fit. Lol. If not someone else will have a new sweater.

| Marilyn the baby is fortunate to have so many lovely handmade items. Wow what a blessing for you, a little one brings so much joy. Connie I love the fairy garden, you have inspired me. I may just give it a try,. Yours is huge, I like the idea of being able to get the items cheap. Brenda you are so talented to knit a sweater without a pattern. I can't imagine, well to be honest I can't imagine knitting a whole sweater period. Carole your quilts are always amazing. Hugs! |

| I am working on wool appliqué. Easter stuff. I'm in a tizzy. We're having the bathroom re-done and things will be torn up. I'm having a knee replacement May 11. Trying to get stuff ready and the garden ready before I go to the hospital. |

Bonnie, be sure to have some of your wool embroidery to work on after your knee surgery. I did a lot of embroidery and red work following my two knee replacements, when I was sitting with the ice bag.
Best wishes for your healing time.Also HUGS and prayers. Being able to walk without pain is wonderful. |

Bonnie, good to see you!
Well, I'm still thinking about that Fairy garden and where I want to put it. With having had a tree professionally removed late November last year, do you think I'll have a problem looking for wood? LOL
When the weather gets nicer, our project is to move all of that wood from the front of the yard to the back!

| Carole my older sister lives on 2 1/2 wooded acres and her husband has cut rounds from a fallen tree for her to use as stepping stones from her raised garden back into the woods and down to the creek. |

Marilyn, thanks for the warning but we do not have poisonous snakes where we are. Garden snakes only and they are not dangerous nor poisonous. Although I did read somewhere that there has been some sighting of rattlers in the Adirondack. Not sure that is true. I would need to do some research!
I'm so glad we decided to take that tree down. It's bass wood and so porous. It had rot right down the middle. I kind of felt bad because it seemed to be the home of many creatures, but it was close to the house and losing lots of branches. |

Gosh, time to do a bit of sharing. I've been working on some UFOs. I have so many blocks stitched (hand embroidered) that just need to be pieced into a finished project.
I finished stitching this top back in early January 2016. Just put it together a few weeks ago. Not sure why I waited so long, it's so cute!
This one was started and finished in January 16. Pumpkin chose the border fabric as it was stitched for her.
So glad I can cross these UFOs off my list!
What have you been up too?
Catch you later! Cheers! |

Love the Harry Potter quilt. I've never seen that embroidery piece. The other is nice too, I like the pieced border.

Today I sorted and sealed the bags of mini aprons to go out to everyone. Now I am going to go to Ed's - I'll be staying in the motorhome, since the A/C is on in it and his house A/C is not on. My grand twins MAY be coming over to help clean up Ed's pasture/yard. We just finished a home improvement project and all the scraps are all over the place. I'm supposed to keep my feet UP, and so far today that hasn't happened. LOL! I wonder why. Last week I finished 3 quilt tops at retreat, 1 apron almost done, 2 little girls purses, and started 2 challenge projects.

Carole, those are adorable!
I am beginning to sort my fabric. Can't sew as fast as it seems to sneak in the house! Lol |

| Bonnie, I love your comment about fabric sneaking in your house. I have that here too...in fact my trip to the fabric shop on Friday, after my dental quickie, resulted in three half hard cuts and a row by row pattern sneaking in. I love fabrics. I adore the beautiful colors and prints we see now days. |

| Bonnie, I love it! Darlene, I got the basics of my fan done, but must find the goodies for decorating it. It is a fun swap project isn't it. |

I was in Michaels wondering around and found the prettiest sparkly leaves and have put them on it and probably will put some on the back to cover the edges. I don't have any lace to edge it with.
I really like this fan, almost too much to part with it.
