Yeah, but it's a good use of scrap fabric.

I cut out the rest of my fox eyes and noses today after a math misadventure this weekend.

I had mistakenly thought I needed 20 fox heads. I need 42.

I had cut out enough for 20 and got 17 sewn before I realized I needed 42.

I will be delving further into the color wheel with the rest of the foxes.

Cool! I love them!

Out in the garden all day. Wow, retirement sure is hard!

I don’t have a photo of the raised beds but since the weather warmed up everything is growing like mad! I had 3 yards of wood chips delivered and all the gardens now have mulch, some wood chips will be aged for the chickens, and the berms I built on our steep, scrubby hill with poor soil will be piled high with wood chips. The berms are to hold the water in and create new soil (along with eventual chicken poop).

Last year we destroyed all the honey locust (did you ever wonder what they use to make those Crowns of Thorns for Good Friday? With the inch-long thorns? Wonder no more) on that hill. Now we have empty spots where nothing grows and the water literally runs off without sinking in. I made the berms with used Christmas trees that I collected from neighbors. And now wood chips, free!

I am still working on the hand quilted Queen sized quilt that is going to Canada July 14th! Next comes a king sized Spiderman quilt! Aaaaahhhh!

Wow!

I liked this before I had a chance to see the picture. Wow! Gorgeous!

I was born in 1947, I believe "The nap generation."

No posts since midnight? Is everyone napping?

Nope, working on stuff outside!
Though I have been known to have an afternoon nap after lunch occasionally.

Keep them away from my chickens!!!!
As usual, the sewing looks really good.

So DH pitches a fit when that giant pile of wood chips arrived. He doesn’t hear well and claims he had no idea they were also for the chickens. He thought just for the gardens, he said, so one yard would have been enough. He finished early at work, and hitched up the tractor and we carried at least 1/3 to the top of the hill. After the chicken pile is ready, there will only be a small amount left.

I’m out of the doghouse.

I need to get some wood chips but will not need enough for a delivery!
