Remember all those squares of fabric I showed you earlier? Well, I now have one to the stage where you can see where I'm heading with them.
Only 79 more to make!!
********************
While I'm working on those, my brain is percolating over the next landscape. If you ask Mr. Google to show you pictures of 'The Three Churches of Mahone Bay' you'll get an idea of what I'll be working on.

- THIS would be fun to make and comes in a range of sizes to suit everyone.
- Have a scroll through the interesting designs found HERE. (just click on the 'x' to remove the ad if it shows up on your screen)
- If you burn jarred candles, perhaps THIS hint (and tips for upcycling) might be of use.
- THIS little fellow simply made me smile.
Today's quote..."Maybe we ought to live for the small things - like wet nose puppy kisses, rainy days with good company, the quiet calm at night and the sweet smell of rain, because in the end, that's the stuff we will remember....the love we felt, the memories we made and the happiness that filled our hearts"
Sherry of createology: Yum to the Cashew Chicken…thank you for sharing your recipe. I did google the Three Churches of Mahone Bay and they look very interesting for your next landscape. I adore your floral fabric with the green crocheted edge. Another good quote to live by. Happy Weekend My Friend.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that there are three churches in virtually the same block, all quite different from the others. Hope you have a great weekend too!
DeleteI do like the squares, I am hope you share what the finished design is like.
ReplyDeleteThank-you for the cashew chicken recipe, looks yummy.

Yes, I'll be sharing what I'm doing with those squares, once I have enough done to show.
DeleteThe cashew chicken recipe IS yummy!!!
Oh what a super idea for those lovely squares...such pretty fabric...I do like that candle jar trick a lot--i will give that one a try...
ReplyDeletethanks ;))) have a wonderful weekend.
It's fun to combine yarn and fabric. As for candles, I don't dare burn them because I have a nasty habit of forgetting all about them and that's a fire hazard...only battery operated ones for me, just to be safe.
DeleteYou're making a throw?
ReplyDeleteThat I am!
DeleteLove the adorable robot! Making those will use up a lot of the ancient nuts, bolts, nails and unidentifibles I've saved over the years.
ReplyDeleteThat robot certainly made me smile. Sadly we don't have any 'makin's' here or I'd be trying to make a new studio mascot!
DeleteI would have to make this for just DH and myself, none of the boys like nuts - more for us!
ReplyDeleteOooh, a lovely blanket?
Yes, it would be all the more for you if the boys don't like nuts. (and yes, you've guessed correctly)
