Bricks in the Barnyard.........and so much more!

I'm so excited that Bricks in the Barnyard is finished!

I started this at our Bonnie Hunter workshop last September and it is now totally completed!  I backed it with flannel to make it a nice throw possibly for one of the nephews for Christmas.  I love how planned it looks and I got rid of so many scraps!  

Getting Round To It ............with friends!

I got to spend some quality time in the sewing room yesterday..........with company!  DD had another rare day off work and we really didn't have anything scheduled to do!  So I was up in my sewing room and was soon joined by 3 other girls............

Indoor Activities....

Indoor activities.................you'd think sewing would be involved, but not today!  It's too hot to be outside, so indoor activities prevail.  My DH painted the bathroom.  He started the project yesterday and finished today!  There are plans to do the floor next week right before we leave for a couple of days to give it time to dry.  Bathroom looks good!  This was his reward............

 Blackberry Pie!  Oh my!  DH is a pie lover, so pie is always a great treat for him.  

Leaders and Enders!

I was so excited when Bonnie Hunter posted her new Leader and Ender Challenge today!  I had just finished binding my Leader and Ender Tumbler Quilt.  Mary D. did an awesome job machine quilting it for me.

Rabbits and Kittens and Quilts, Oh my!

Well, County Fair Week is over!  The projects are back home and mostly put away, the rabbits are back in their cages, and all is well.  The DD took 15 projects, got all blue ribbons, and 8 were selected for state.  She also had the grand champion meat pen of rabbits and won senior showmanship.

Aren't they cute!  Of course, when we were trying to pick 3 who were identical in body type and weight to have a uniform pen, I had to wonder why we always have 2 pair when we need 3 of a kind!  It's such a gamble!

Cake for Breakfast!

The 2 blackberry bushes are producing nice big berries.  I'm picking about a quart every other day.  I also found the first 2 cherry tomatoes............of course they look more the size of grape tomatoes.............

Look what all that rain did!

My driveway and house are currently surrounded by corn on all sides...........

"The corn is as high as an elephant's eye..........and it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky."  That's from the musical Oklahoma", the first musical I ever saw.  We are headed to the Lyceum later this week to see 1776.  Can't wait!

Rainy Days!

Happy 4th of July!  Some things you just never outgrow.............
