In the mood...

for a little embroidery. This is a Crabapple Hill pattern and Cosmo threads that Sue sent me last year as a gift. I had it all ready to work on when I took my road trip to California but never started it. The threads remind me of fall and I am longing for Autumn to arrive.

I thought I would share a few photos of our soon-to-be garden. The photo above is a rotting tree with moss. I just thought it was so delicate looking.

My husband has cut down a lot of trees so far. Some will be used for fire wood. Some will be cut into planks for a wood floor in our future dream home. Some will be used for the actual frames of the raised beds. As you can see from the photo even the branches are being used to make mulch for the pathways. I am the one who goes back and forth bringing the branches to be chipped.

I have some seeds planted which have already sprouted. I plan to have a fall garden this year. We are really excited to finally have this space. I don't know why we waited so long except we had planned to sell last year but have decided to stay here about five more years.

I still have not done any sewing but I do need to prepare for a Celtic Applique class this Saturday. I will show you my sample later.

With Passion,

Carrie P.
