My next door neighbour is an excellent knitter. Last week, she helped me to fix a booboo in my knitted dishcloth. She showed me some socks that she was knitting and I noticed that her knitting bag was a reusable grocery bag. I decided she needed a wide open zipper pouch for her sock knitting projects. I purchased the knitting fabric when on a mini shop hop with friends (we visited two shops and went out for lunch). The other two fabrics and the zipper were in my stash. Can you tell I like dots? My neighbour was thrilled with her new knitting bag! The pattern is from Noodlehead.
I'm going to a wedding shower next weekend and have made some things for the bride and groom to be. I will show pictures after the shower.
I made a navy blue pineapple block this week for the rainbow scrap challenge. I know that the colour of the month is Aqua but I don't have enough aqua scraps to make anything so I decided my colour for September is Navy.
My husband and I spent two days on the long weekend making mustard pickle relish using my Mom's recipe. One batch makes a lot of relish! We filled 6 pint jars and 26 of these smaller jars with relish.
I have finally finished two quadrants on my sunflower cross stitch. The picture is actually more than half finished now. I have a pattern for a Christmas project which I may switch over to at some point but for now I will continue with the Sunflowers.
Around here, the leaves on some of the trees are just starting to turn and my sedum is blooming. Fall is just around the corner.
Our shamrock continues to put on a magnificent show as well. This plant belonged to my husband's great aunt at one time. It really seems to thrive on our shady back step.
I was talking to Finn on FaceTime yesterday and took this picture. My daughter put her phone on the floor so Finn and I could chat while she made dinner.
