Home spaces and Spring arrives and decisions and home improvement and hope 1:12 pm
When I moved in, the area around the tree was bare. I’ve added hosta and wave petunias.
I’m happy with this little plot in my backyard: hosta, columbine (an old one from my Aunt Ellen), lavender, roses, decorative grass, chives, lily of valley, hen and chicks, plus a lovely, clear-sounding wind chime. In the background, you can see the border garden I’m working on.

Baby quilt and Maria Eduarda and Third quilt project and closure 6:18 pm
This is the baby for whom I made the baby quilt. She arrived this week; all is well. I’ll mail out the quilt tomorrow and hopefully it will get there in a timely fashion. We are all thrilled with this little one’s arrival.
Craft projects and Home spaces and friends 4:43 pm
A good use of my porch space—spending a crafting afternoon with friends as we work on quiltwork or knitting.
Third quilt project 8:50 pm
Someone asked…
I just finished the 157th out of 224 squares for the WWE quilt top; this means I’ve finished 70% as of tonight. I have “only” 67 more to piece.

The “base” of these jackets is a sweatshirt. My friends took a class to learn how to add strips and the result is above. I think they’re amazing–both the jackets and the people! 
Flowers and Home spaces and Spring arrives and decisions and home improvement and hope 1:29 pm
Planting flowers, in this case wave petunias, always seems to epitomize hope to me. These are relatively fragile plants, roots all jammed together, brought up in a hothouse, transplanted to the outside. My hope is they will thrive and fill up the spaces in my garden. I can see myself moving toward gardens with hosta and wave petunias, with maybe a few others in-between. I planted 36 pink wave petunias this morning.
