Bunny Hill bom 2009

I always say better late than never.

Well that's exactly what happened here.

I started the 2009 BOM in January and finished my last block sometime in February 2010.

Well I thought it was time to put it together and here it is completed.

This is going to a dear friend for her 60th birthday.

Now on to the next project.

around the house

Once again a beautiful morning. The humidity is finally out of the air. Lets take a stroll around the house and see whats new. ( Everything that has been coming up is new to me since we just moved in last November)

Wow look at the size of these Daisys. I think I will cut some and put them in this old tea pot. Don't they look cute?

Just behind the daisys you will see a clematis (jakeoman) climbing up the tv tower. I happened to go behind the tower and low and behold there was this clematis laying on the ground and nowhere to climb. I guess at one time there was a arbour???

Now lets go around to the front of the house and see our new door and storm door. Our old door was solid and orange if you recall, and there was no storm door. I love to have light come in as well as to be able to have air. Our new storm door has a screen at the top that rolls back into the top when you close the window. Its great for the dogs so they can't rip the screen.
Just a beautiful hanging planter on the garage and look at the size of my musk mellows. They are across the front. Every year there will be more since the seeds blow everywhere.

Our ditches are too deep to cut so I let the wild flowers floorish. I picked up this banner the other day just to see the reaction of my neighbor. She wanted to come by and help me clean out my ditch. The nerve....
Off to the side yard we have these wild flowers. They fill in the space nicely.
Is this not a great show of hosta. I can't wait to see what blooms in behind.
And lastly are these flowers that are blooming behind my rose bushes. Any Idea what they are??

I hope you enjoy your day.

Hot Days of Summer

Well this morning around 7 am I started my day in the garden hoeing.
We are in for a few more days of heat alert.
At around 8 am I was finished. The sweat was pouring down my face. Time to shower and head into town.
I never let the heat get the best of me. I'm a shopper...... Yesterday was 104 degrees. Time to stay in.
Not for me I went shopping at Costco with my daughter and her family. Her airconditioner in her suv was not working so all the windows were down. Oh my was it hot, hotter than haitis.

The way it used to be as a kid I remember these hot summers. Kids running thru the sprinklers and only the wealthy had pools. My mom always took us to the park where there was a splash pool for us five kids to cool off.

Well now my kids have pools, ones that only the wealthy had.

So While we were out on Saturday I picked up a pair of ski poles.
Kind of odd you think at this time of year. Not at all.
I'm going to use them as walking poles. The latest exercise. Need to widdle down my waist.
I will post a picture of my new set once my camera is up and working.

Stay cool!!!

Happy Canada Day

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!

To all my fellow bloggers. Enjoy your day with family and friends.

What have I been doing....

Wow I can't believe how time flys by.
Well I have not been in the mood to sew/quilt, the weather has been amazing. Worked in the gardens. Planted vegs. amoungst my flowers.
Next year I plan on having a veg garden on its own.

I have done a little x-stitching in the evenings. Maybe half way there with my pattern.


We have been out on the weekends antiquing with our friends and their antique vehicles. Here our 49 ford p/u truck and our friends mustang, as well a our 49 meteor.


Here are some of my finds.
A weathervane that I know will look great on the top of our new shed,
dishes for our hutch. I found this blue Meakin jug that is the same as the pink one I already have. Now to find the brown one that matches. I Need to focus on the red and white transferware and A beautiful old pudding bowl.
Here it all is displayed on my new hutch.

Need to be on the hunt for more furniture to paint.......

Last weekend we spent with friends and family at our sons to celebrate our grandson and grandaughters (cousins) grade 8 graduation.

The weather was on our side. Everyone had a great time. Monday was the actual grad and our grandson won athelete of the year. He is a strapping young lad at 5 ft 10 in . He loves sports and is a pitcher on a all star ball team. Look out Blue Jays, upcoming pitcher here. And our grandaughter won three awards(pins)in honour of achievement in Arts, Academic, Reading. She was part of a group of students that went to a camp for art /theatre for nine days. Very talented young artist. Runs in the family....lol

I hope you enjoyed your weekend.
See you soon........
