Scenes from my Week







From the garden:
  • I'm not the only one enjoying my zinnias - they are attracting lots of monarch butterflies too
  • Scadoxus - Katherine Wheel/Fireball - four flower heads this year.
From the sewing room:
  • a small project in progress, because I am procrastinating over making a quilt back - pattern from here
  • after my holiday hand sewing session, I have one more cartwheel to finish, then this can be turned into a pillow.
From the kitchen:
  • vegetables and herbs prepped for my first Cook the Books recipe challenge
  • plums being stoned and chopped for a new summer dessert recipe too 
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend.
