a kitty mat

Take some gorgeous hand dyed fabric, some rope and lots of thread and you can make a mat for your kitty.  A little bit of yarn for decoration.

She approves.

around the garden

We planted a few garden boxes this year and I'm happy to say my plants are growing. I have baby cucumbers and tomatoes and some peppers. It's fun watching them grow. My garden lady, Ida Mae, is making sure no varmits are eating my veggies.

a blogger friend

I had the chance to meet Lynne of patchery menagerie yesterday. We had a wonderful visit. She brought some cool quilts to show me. The afternoon flew by. She's not only a quilter but an artist as well. I lifted this from her blog....it's her son when he was 14. I love it! I'm looking forward to seeing her artwork up close and personal. Thanks for a great afternoon Lynne.
