1. My dahlias are doing really well right now. At the moment the bright pink fuschia ones are perking up. Unfortunately I also have a ton of white fuzzy caterpillars too and they're eating the leaves. Oh well! The zinnias are still blooming too (and even some early fall petunias!), in spite of the leaf fungus!
2. We had a great crowd at knitting last week! Those two hours of fellowship every couple of weeks with my church friends are so valuable to me, and it's always great when lots of people turn up. I loved the coffee cup pyramid too- we were setting up for a funeral reception the same night as knitting. We were very sorry that our good friend Trish wasn't there- she's back in the hospital, but will hopefully be home later this week.
3. I got to quilt some on Sunday (yay!). I was having some problems with my sewing machine, but I got through it. I love how this is turning out. Hopefully I'll finish it this weekend so Mike can take pictures of both new quilts this coming week.
4. The dogs are being great snugglers as usual. The city came by this week and fixed my sewer-pipe associated sinkhole (YAY!!!) so now there's not a giant dangerous hole in my backyard. It's made playing ball more fun this week!
I hope you all had good things to be grateful for this week. For more goodness, click over to LeeAnna's!
Your dahlia is beautiful!! That looks like a fun knitting group. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteyou and Sally both had terrific groups this week. I like all those smiling faces and the obvious commaraderie. Sink hole... I have something brewing in the front yard here, discovered as I stepped into the hole. LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon! Aww, playing ball without a big, dangerous hole in the backyard is a fabulous thing for both you and the pups. Your quilt looks beautiful as do your flowers. Here's to another great week. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteGreat likes. The dahlia is lovely, your knitting group is like my church quilting group. We only get together once a month but I so enjoy the time of fellowship.
ReplyDeleteYour dahlias are beautiful! ooh - your quilting looks so interesting!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all that dahlia is amazing. Must get some!
ReplyDeleteThat seems like such a wonderful group to be a part of. Wish there was something like that around here.
Will look forward to seeing all of that quilting.
What a beautiful dahlia! And that caterpillar is really something, too - do you have any idea what it is? Your knit group friends all look very happy to be together. That is such a great kind of group to be a part of, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGlad your sinkhole is fixed, so scary!! Love the flowers and your knitting group! Your quilt is looking FABULOUS~!
ReplyDeleteThat steak peek of your quilt.....can't wait to see the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good week! I'd be the one who accidently knocked over all the cups and saucers :(
