Stitching and Planting

Hi all!  

Well, this nice long Labor Day weekend is about to come to a close, and it's back to work tomorrow. 

But, I won't complain, because I was able to do just what I wanted and that was a little container gardening and playing in my craft room. 

It's still warmer than I'd like, but I got out early in the morning so I could get some planting done before the heat came. 

The day I brought this Gerber Daisy plant home, it was in the middle of the afternoon, and by the time I got it out of the car it looked so hot and wilted.  (I know the feeling) 

I was afraid I had already killed it on the way home in this heat. 

But once I got it cooled off, and into a container with a little TLC and fresh soil and morning sunshine, it perked up. 

Once the heat started to set in, I decided I would go inside (in the air conditioned house) and do a little collage on canvas. 

I really like the Zetti style, so I played around with that, and made an ATC for my friend Linda.

I know she might see this post, but it's not like it's a "special" surprise.  I think she understands when I want to "try my art out on her" LOL! 

Finally, to the stitching.

I had some outdoor fabric and made a couple of pillows to go on my chairs in the courtyard.  

I think they look cute with the chair cushions, don't you? 

I'm getting ready for our "outdoor weather" if it ever gets here! 

And...just a few sneak peeks of another little project.  I'm not finished with yet, but have really enjoyed the hand stitching part. 

So, there you have it, a relaxing, fun filled long weekend and now I need to get back to work and make some more money to support all of my gardening/crafting habits. 

I hope you have enjoyed the weekend, and was able to do something you love to do! 

Thanks for visiting,
