I hope you've all had a good week. I've been absent from the blog scene as I have been cleaning and that isn't very interesting to blog about.. Because of my Spring cleaning I haven't done much handwork except at the end of the day. I've been working on the Giant Granny Square border. I got this book to help me find a border..........
Here's my petunias that I bought last week. They're in a basket hanging from a shepherd's hook in my front yard. It has been cool, cloudy and rainy this past week. The sun is out today but it's supposed to rain again this afternoon.
My lilac bush is starting to open. I decided to let it bloom before I plant it in the yard.
Not much else going on but when it's not raining this week I will be planting. Our last frost date is April 20th so I can get all my plants outside. I also have yard work and trimming to do. Tomorrow I'm cooking a corned beef brisket to make Reuben sandwiches....it's been a long time since I've had one and I love them!
Oh, Stitch Maynia is coming in May!. I need to get my projects out from last year. The only new projects I will start are the few open slots from finishes last year which aren't many! Mostly, I will work on the ones that didn't get finished.
Happy Trails!!!

I recognize that candle brand!! I love Bonfire By The Lake. We can't put plants out until mid-May although I guess I could plant my hanging baskets since they can be brought in on old nights. We are expecting snow flurries midweek. Glad you are figuring out the border for your squares. I know it will be pretty.
Your plants look gorgeous already. It sounds as though you have had a busy week!
I'm not sure where Maureen is from, but her weather sounds like ours. It was a wonderful warm and sunny Sunday, but they are using the "s" word later this week. My gramma always said you never plant until after Mother's Day and the weather and plant people agree. We have a little road trip to the Amish nursery planned for that Monday.
You must have had a busy week! Your border book looks interesting! We are supposed to get snow this week crazy weather it was 63 this morning and by afternoon 40...go figure! Have a good week Sam:)
We're supposed to have a rain/snow mix tomorrow. That's too much winter for me in April. I'll be happy of sunshine instead.
Blessings,
Betsy
It is probably good that you are having a rest before the mania of stitch mania starts in a couple of weeks :) Plus you'll be able to enjoy it more in a spring cleaned house. I should start doing our spring cleaning too. :)
Your giant granny square is looking nice. Look forward to seeing it finished. I just plant new shrubs in mom's beds and a few flowers. Until yesterday, we hadn't had much rain so I've been watering for fear the heat is going to kill them.
Your border is nice. It fits the blanket quite well. Your petunias are gorgeous. So nice to see flowers again. We are expecting frost tonight in Texas. It has been cold and wet since I got here. Can't even mow the lawn cause it's too wet.
