Look What I found in my Garden

Look what I found in my garden.  Isn't it lovely!

Try not to look at all the leaves in the background;)  These are actually purple.  They would look great for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  I still haven't came across any purple.  Just a few tiny scraps here and there.  It is obviously not a color I use a lot!  Might have to sit this month out:(

I also harvested my lettuce this morning:)

I spent forever this morning washing it off.  Now I look forward to a monster sized salad for dinner.  Yum yum.

Coco Goes Shopping

Several pieces of news today.  Daughter #2 is still sick:(  At this point I'm not sure if she will ever go back to school!

Also April's color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is Purple.  I have no ideas fr this one!!!!  Totally stumped.  I'm not even sure how much purple fabric I have!!!

More importantly.....Coco goes shopping is finished!  It's actually been finished for a while!  I just finally took a picture.  The thing about Coco is, there is no batting.  Instead I used a piece of muslin.  I backed it with pink organza.  The idea was for the quilt to be placed in front of a light source so you can she the "shadow".  It looks really cool.  Doesn't photograph well.

Speaking of shadows.  My #1 daughter was working on a Brownie Try-it on Shadows.  She had to take pictures of shadows.  Here is hers.

Saturday

I"m so happy it is Saturday.  It has been a busy week.  Thursday my Mommie turned 60.  We all got together for dinner.  I made the cake!

The little boxes are were the candles go.  I thought if I put 60 candles on the cake we might violate the fire code!! Daughter #2 has been sick all week.  She had a school play on Thursday.  We let her go for that.  Bad parents!

And Then I worked all week.
But look at this my garden is doing so well!!

The English peas are eaten young, straight off the vine.  They are so good!

This is our first attempt at lettuce.  I can't wait for them to get big enough to eat.  My goal is to not buy a canned veggie all Summer!

Happy Quilting
