This tree in front of our house is starting to flower.
I am preparing some goodies for our nephew/cousin to be. I was at Joann's this morning and picked up something to make but I can't tell you what (just in case my expecting SIL reads this).
My barista SIL gave me a gift certificate for my birthday to a local bookstore so I went browsing there this morning.
I was hoping to find something in the arts/crafts genre but didn't find anything, so I picked up this book.
I have been hoping to start a garden for the last year or so. Our backyard needs some work so am not sure if it will get planted in time, but here's hoping and planning.Okay, now to the good stuff!!!
My latest wonky house!!! I tried out a new style roof....
One of these things is not like the other......one of these things doesn't belong..... Can you guess which one????

If you guess this one.... then you are right!
I was making another scrappy log cabin block for Melly and Me's scrappy log cabin challenge (I have got a ways to go!), but I am using my freezer paper piecing method...
The thing is, I am having trouble counting!!! I was going around the block and somehow missed adding a log on one side (you can see very clearly on the left side that there should be three logs on that side but instead there is only two... must be my coveted scraps of Mama's feedsack fogged my brain a bit!)

If you are really good, you also noticed that this is the first block that doesn't have polka dots in the center. I am branching out so to speak LOL (I didn't even realize the pun at first).
I am trying to keep my polka dots for another project, my Dear Jane Gone Insane (thanks blogless Deb- are you ready!?).

Have a good weekend!!!
i love your newest house! great colors! and of course i love your scrappy log cabins. what could be better than houses and log cabins? you know me :^)
ReplyDeleteOh great pics. I think I know what your making but I won't tell.I didn't plant my garden last year until late June and it still did fine. I like to work with mostly plants (pumpkin hill) has a great selection and I use seeds for string beans and they are very abundant. I think we need a coffee/tea morning let me know when. I can't wait to see your blocks.
ReplyDeleteTHat tree in your front yard must be spectacular! You achieve so much you make me dizzy. Thanks for the love re. Jodie's quilt! 'Talk' soon ...
ReplyDeleteJust how many quilts have you made in total-- it must be dozens.. My hub likes your Hawaiian one, he has a secret passion for hawaiian shirts. Belated birthday too, sorry I've been postless for a while

Don't you just LOVE scrappy log cabins! Love the new house too? I assume it will have nice neighbors.
ReplyDeleteI love your little house. It's not at all wonky! Very nice. I'd like to try making one but I'm new to quilting so I need to start with something simple.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, just love, love, love your House blocks and don't just love your camera!! How fun! Hugs, Mary
ReplyDeleteeek i love your latest wonky house (hint hint) very sweet!
ReplyDeletei must be goofy because even after you showed us i didnt see why until i counted. i think its because the two on the left are thick and the three on the right are skinny. i would still use it. does it measure smaller? you know the amish always purposely incorporate a booboo in each quilt, they say only god is perfect. i think it makes sense, and it gives the piece a handmade touch/feel
