Happy Canada Day!!

WOW!!

 

JULY 1.....

 

I hope there are some fireworks in your evening somewhere tonight!!

 

 

With all this rain,

 

 the weeds and wild flowers are doing wonderfully!!

 

Alfalfa.....

 

Clover.....

 

 

Even the foxtail is beautiful in its array of purples....

 

As if that was not enough...

 

Mom and I decided to clean out the Prairie Greenhouse in Weyburn,Sk yesterday

 

It's kind of scary how many flowers fit in the back seat of the truck!!!

 

I am sure I will be regretting these after planting today!!

Speaking of gardening...

 

 

I finished my Antique Seeds Weekender bag!!

 

 

I did it 'quilt-as-you-go' ....

 

 

This time I used vinyl sheeting on the bottom for easy clean up.

 

Definitely need to keep an eye out for some laminated fabric next time!!

 

I love this pattern.

 

It is easy and has great results.

 

There is a support group for the Amy Butler Weekender Bag online

but

I have to say I have not had any trouble

 

I also have to say...

 

 

 

 

 I have never read the instructions either.

 

I can hear my friends now....

 

'Shocking!!'

 

Have a great Canada Day!!

 

I will be crippled after all this planting!!
