Tuesday Fun


B has been stealing my little 2" squares! So instead of having lay all over the living room, we sat down with her Dog fabric she got last week, and we carefully and strategically laid out the doggies in the RIGHT way.
Everyone seems to be happy with the outcome.






And a few picks for my mother... Garden shots of the peonies, that were once living in my grandmothers garden in MN.

The garden is weeded. yippeeee!


But some nasty VOLES have scarfed up my watermellon, sunflowers, one tomato plant and a bunch of beans!!! grrrrrr! I'm feeling a little cady shack!

  1. I love peonies too. My grandma had them, and then my dad planted them in his yard. He had lots!! He was so sentimental.
    Beautiful garden V! I have a .22 you can borrow for that vole! ;>)

  6. Don't you think that B looks more and more like you? I have not idea what a vole is....it is like a mole? We had moles on the farm, and my dad and grandpa would pipe the exhaust gasses from the truck down into the hole and the someone would be waiting at the other end to whack them with a shovel when they popped up out of another hole. Ahhh the peaceful country life...lol.

  8. First off love the pillow. I really admire how you can make anything happen out of any fabric, I am so scared or mixing up too many designs.
    And Peonies are my absolute FAVORITE flower so thanks for posting a picture of them, made me smile :)

  11. Such a cute pillow for such a sweet girl, nice to see she shares your love of fabric. Wow, thanks for the trip down memory lane with the peonies...my Grandma had an ocean of them off her back deck when I was a kid. Mine have yet to bud out let alone bloom.

  13. B's pillow is very pretty, as is she!

    It's a shame to see you hard work get munched up by critters. Your peonies are lovely.
