Scrappy Sunday
Block #34
wow. another week has gone by. this is honestly the first time i have layed out the blocks. it doesn't really make much difference which order i put them in.
i'm going to say design wall. but it's really the back of plastic table cloth nailed above my couch. my design wall is only showing you a 5 by 5 layout. looking for one more middle or middle substitute so i can make a 5 x 7 layout.

Scrappy Sunday
i made a Block #34 yesterday using my last middle square.
at least i thought it was my last. turns out it was that square i found in my stash a few weeks ago. but oops. i didn't check the size before i started sewing. it was 1/2 in too big. couldn't figure out why my pre-cut-just-a-bit-bigger-than-9-1/2 in.-strip-last-to-sew-on was too small. the whole time i was thinking i am going to miss this block. and that i should just make it again. and what would i do different. i was also working on my Fala blocks.
so today i will re-sew my scrappy block. and finish up the handwork on Fala.

Patiently Waiting
while i wait for the roses to bloom. i continue to take short visits to my local park.
an amazing fragrance coming from the yellows.
across the path from the rose garden there is more to see. i just call these purple pompoms.
a small tree with loads of new buds.
another small tree with these hanging yellow flowers.
behind is the small greenhouse.
in front of greenhouse.
a beautiful mix of new buds and closed flowers and then the fully open ones with large petals and gold centers.
and then i make my way back to this bench to do some knitting.
i love to watch tennis on t.v. so for two weeks the French Open has provided me with hours of knitting pleasure. but then i have to get outside. i have stopped at Starbuck's to knit so much that it was time to check in with my knitting friends at the local shop. i missed last month's sale but went ahead and checked the mark-down-bins. here's a peek at my $4. scarf. i found two lonely skeins in different colors and mixed them in my favorite stitch.
and $10. for yarn i was eventually going to buy anyway i was pushed to overcome my issues with crochet. it was so enjoyable sitting around the big wooden table listening to everyone as they each worked on their own special projects. i missed that.
