Progress

I am spending more time gardening and watering my vegetable garden. I have to admit that my harvest in the past just feeds the four of us.  ( One meal !)   Deer and slugs are getting a healthy meal from my garden way before I get my hands on it. I always admire the ads for gardeners picking chunky and meaty tomatoes. That never happened to me, so I decided to have two plots right outside my front door.

Kitchen gardens!

I call it my humble vegetable plot.

The flower boxes were done, sunflower seeds went into the ground where I had space and after tilting a big patch for potatoes every bone in my body was aching.

My hexagon blanket made a big progress and I love what I see so far. All single flower hexagons are crochet together and I am working on my border. I will post my finished retro throw next week.

We are not melting....

 Today I was stopping at a garage sale. These snowmen are not running from the heat. The barometer hit 30°C which equals 86°F.

I am back again

I can't believe that I managed to retrieve my blog since blogger changed the format. I was absent for 3 weeks  and couldn't sign in again .Several times I changed my passwords and as my friend Nancy says have  your little red book with all your codes and passwords. It's true, we think we will remember but the chance of forgetting is there. Since my last post my husband is doing just fine and your heartfelt thank you notes meant a lot to me. I also realized how therapeutic crocheting was during that time and my hexagon flowers are growing a on a bed of moss. I finished around 100 and placed them on a moos carpet at our cottage. Just the look of it made my heart jump.

Flower Power

My long time friend (we met in grade1) and I decided to give our other addiction ( knitting/sewing) a break and go back to the 70's. Do you remember the shabby chic vintage crochet coat hangers, Afghans, ponchos,granny square blankets and bikinis only Twiggy could wear? Our new project is an updated granny square throw. I went downtown and bought this.....

Yesterday my husband had his heart surgery and during the long hours waiting for good news I started making flowers.

I call it crochet therapy for me and making these colourful flower can be addictive.

A flower for a good heart.

My new iphone toy

It arrived yesterday from Photojojo a camera on-line store. Three different lenses , one macro wide angle
 ( my favorite), a telephoto lens and the famous fisheye lens. This $49 lens package for your iphone let's you play endless. Kate Daniel,who I met at Artfest showed me how easy the magnet rings snap to the iphone and the new lens mounts on top of the iphone lens.

Here are my photos for the macro wide angle lens

Fish eye lens

2x telephoto lens

This is not the most exciting shot but it shows the zoom. The photo app+ will do the same.

Project 365 iphone March

The month of March went by so fast that I have only now uploaded my photos. Here they are:

Spring arrival

Surprise, as I opened my woodshed up north these two eyes looked at me. Raccoons have this believable cute look, but I rather see her in the woods. I think I have to wait until mama moves out with her little ones.
