Our daughter arrived earlier this week for a visit and to pick up Finn and take him home. She was a bit worried that Finn would forget her since he was here for 11 weeks while she was busy at work. I assured her that Finn would be very excited to see her, and he was! I thought his tail was going to fall off, it was wagging so hard! Here is a picture of the happy reunion.
My daughter showed me a picture of a face covering and matching dog bandana she saw on the internet...she wanted a set for her and Finn. Today, she searched through my stash to find just the right fabric and decided on this cute dog print. Finn is very dapper in his new bandana.
They will be quite the pair when out in public with their co-ordinating outfits!
Finn has already requested more bandanas...
My daughter finished her cross stitch feathers. It is stitched on wood with laser cut holes in it. It has a metal loop on the back so she can hang it on the wall. The circle is 16" across. This was a kit that was given to her for Christmas.
I finished up the dishcloth I started last week
and started another new project this week--this is a new pattern for a "spa facecloth". It includes seed stitch and a four row repeating pattern. I consulted a friend about how to read all the short forms on the pattern and got started. So far, so good. The first picture shows the seed stitch border.
I did two full repeats of the pattern and will keep knitting away on this tomorrow.
I belong to a sewing group at church and we have been busy over the last few weeks making face coverings for members of the congregation. The orders have finally slowed down so today I made two aprons for the Sunday school children to wear when doing messy cooking or crafts. It will be a while before the children will have a chance to wear the aprons. Other members of the sewing group have also made aprons.
Our garden continues to put on a good show with new blooms every day. Our deutzia bush is covered in small white flowers right now
The clematis in the back yard is also in full bloom.
We have a couple of clumps of pinks--
as well as some perennial geraniums coming into bloom.
One of my favourite flowers is Columbine...I have several different varieties.
There seems to be a lot of pink and purple flowers in bloom at the moment!
I hope all of you have a wonderful week and can get outside to enjoy some exercise and the flowers and trees where you live. I will link up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers in the morning.
