Do you like my new table? I picked it up just this morning from the side of the road for free! I have been looking for a round table, just this size, for just this purpose. I really coudn't have found it at a better time. I am thinking of spray painting the metal base a fun color, and maybe tiling the top. But I do like the current smooth surface..any ideas on how to jazz it up a bit?
This is what I could see from where I was sitting...
Anyone know what this little worm will turn into? We were sitting under our red maple and these were falling on the table like crazy. Blech!
I swear I didn't arrange this photo...my youngest boy brought the flower over to me and placed it right there, and said, "Here Mummy!" Talk about melting a mother's heart...
My Sofia had a shower and then joined me at the table with paper and pencil to draw quilt patterns. So Sweet!
Apart from taking in the floral beauty around me, I also did some basket fabric auditioning, so check back in the next couple of days to see that process. I think I may like it even more than the sewing part!

Sitting under the shade of a big tree, beautiful flowers, lemonade, hearing the sweet sounds of children playing, and having applique by your side.... it doesn't get any better than that!
What a lovely day!
well I love the one next to the rhodo bloom & lemonaid with the polka dot ground, very vintage-y lookng; that one's a keeper. A postcard of a day.
a budding young quilt designer huh, watch out! How wonderful to share your passion with your young uns!
looks like a thoroughly lovely day. I love good finds. We have the inorganic collection once a year in Auckland, and I got a cane chair and coffee table, and a cool bedside table which I painted. You could always make a cool table cloth, with some little weights for if the wind gets up. to make the weights chuck some pearl barley or rice or something in a couple of fabric squares the same fabric/s as the cloth. Plop them on the table and your good to go! (Just an idea)
What a lovely spot to sit and sew. I love how the baskets are coming along.
When we moved to New Hampshire one of the comments we heard often was,
"When there is a nice day you should get outside and enjoy it." A beautiful place, we lived there ten years. Hope you have been to Pickety Place, Frye's Measure Mill and the Covered Bridge shop.
Diane, if you read this, I tried to email you and see your blog but could do neither - I'd love to know more about the places you mentioned as I haven't been to any of them!
It looks so lovely there...wish I could have your weather right now...even for a week!
Eeewww! I don't like worms falling down like that! I do like yr new table & I stop by the roads for such things too! In fact, my kids & I are renovating a wooden chair we found in a carpark, just last week! Lovely pics!
It looks beautiful...
