I snapped a few photos' Saturday as I was cutting back shrubs and weeding. A few of my flowers and a pretty butterfly that was feasting on the sweet smelling tea olives.
Blue Plumbago
Mexican petunia
tea olive bushes (taller than my car!) They form a hedge around the stone parking area.
I hand stitched these two hexagons into sets of 4, so they are all ready to be stitched into a row to be added to the original quilt.... eventually. I have the parts for 2 columns to be added, but I think I might want 4. We will see. Each column needs 48 hexagons.
the blocks so far.
Lambie, bear and the reindeer got a little machine stitching and then hand stitching to close up a lot of the holes caused by the destuffing process. As you can see - Mr Moose is scheduled for surgery later today. I have a bucket of 'stuffing' to put back in him as I close up those holes. We will see how long before I have nightly crime scenes of stuffed animals all over my living room floor!
Aidan is heading to Jacksonville this week for a Skills USA competition. Emily will get to drive herself to and from school this week until he returns late Thursday. She has various AICE testing preps after school, so it works out well. As her brother is gone, I asked her for meal ideas. She gave me 3 vegetarian ones that we will make this week.
I've got a Sams run today, then hope to play in the sewing room. I will be stitching peels and/or hexagons later this evening as I relax before the new week starts.
Linking up with Kathy and the other Slow Sunday Stitchers.

oh my goodness - the dog sure ripped that apart didn't he - I hope you can put it back together again - Have fun with your surgery on it :)
really pretty and neat photo of the butterfly--love those butterflies--and poor lamb chop--but you 'healed' him all up--one advantage of cats--they don't usually tear up as many toys--though they do like to 'kill' feathers on their toys--by the way--how are your kitties???
hugs, di
Great butterfly photo, Deb! Your flowers are pretty, too - so different from what we see here. Dogs are so funny about tearing things up - good you have lots of stuffing at hand! Sounds like your week will be a bit different with Aidan gone. Hope you enjoy some stitching today! I need to get back to my orange peels, too. It's time to start stitching them to the background.
Oh dear, those nightly crime scenes! Guess it's easy to work out who is to blame.
