Who knew I would post twice in the same day!!!?!!
I walked out the backdoor and there was Louis up on the ladder working on an upstairs window. I couldn't resist taking his picture. Click on the picture so you can see how nice the new windows look. He's finished the trimwork on the two below where he's currently working.
I walked down to the studio and the gardens and trimmed up the lemon thyme and plucked some grape tomatoes. I sure will miss these little tomatoes. I like the little ones better than I do the big ones. There's a large cherry tomato plant that came up in the yard. It's loaded with cherry tomatoes but they all split - all of them. Then, they drop off to the ground. What Annie, my big 80 lb. canine, doesn't eat will probably sprout next year. Wish they wouldn't split open.
The real reason for the second post is that I found the projects we're going to be working on in the Iris Schrier workshop to show you.
Saturday's class project will be the Long Stitch Wrap featured in Lacy Little Knits on page 100.
Sunday's class project will be the Zigzag Scarf featured in Modular Knits: New Techniques for Today's Knitters on page 45.

Oh yeh, I'm taking a little gift for the teacher! I'm not beyond kissin' up! A small bar of my homemade Minty Fresh soap and a soap deck. If the guild is putting her up in a hotel, it will make her room and bath smell un-hotel-like.
OK, I think I'm done for now!
the attic windows was great and the tomatoes look so delicious! I wonder if you didn't fall from that high ladder you were in. nice post!

What a cute wrap! I'm sorry to hear about the diabetes. Hang in there!
Oh and can you send me a list of Bird Bath Essentials availability again, I accidently deleted your e-mail and can't get it back. I really want to place an order this week, I know I definitely want the almond bar (h) with a lotion. But I want some others too.
Have a great workshop!

Just catching up, and, wow, sorry about all the challenges lately! Nice that there are always things to appreciate, like the garden and the wildlife. Looks like the classes this weekend will be fun -- interesting patterns.
