Happy Wednesday that seems like Tuesday!
We had a very fun busy weekend spent at home (my favorite place) just doing stuff like not sitting in traffic and sitting in rocking chairs instead of camp chairs outside of a wet tent.
Just kidding noimnot I love camping noidont.

I had the BIGGEST surprise EVER on Sunday night when at 9:00 pm the neighbors mother called to tell me there was someone parked outside our gate with their headlights on honking their horn...
So I told her to go investigate and she did and it was my friend Cheryl from Washington!!!!
Since it was a surprise I had dishes in the sink and dog hair on the carpet but I didn't care because I was so happy to see her face!! :)
We shared pictures and talked about sewing because as you know, that's what sewers like me and Cheryl do.
We talk about sewing.
I think I forgot to show her my bathmat.
That I sewed.
Anyway, it was so great to see her and I can't wait until she comes back at the end of summer!

I made this a few nights ago.

It's a pursebagtote made from a chicken feed sack!!

Now I'm working on this rag quilt from Imperfect Homemaking

Her recipe calls for pretty fabric squares but all I had laying around was sheets and I figured since I use sheets to make rag rugs I could use them to make rag quilts too.

So I started cutting.

And cutting.

And I'm still cutting.

Red squares...

And then I'll cut some fish squares...

Later on when I'm an expert I'll buy real fabric.

My other new favorite thing is bottle trees and I'm going to have Six make me one.

I need to figure out what comes in blue bottles and start drinking a lot of it because I think I'll Six will need about twenty or so bottles and then I'm going to have Six plant it right outside our front door!

Isn't that pretty?

I love it and there's a long history about them that you can read here.

Are you watching the Hatfields & McCoys?

Are you loving it?

We are LOVING it!

Peas.
