Happy Thursday! I'm liking this pot of marigolds that is starting to bloom right now. I didn't even plant these this year - they just re-seeded themselves from last year! In the background you can see the corner of my raised bed garden. It's overgrown right now with green beans, cucumbers, and pumpkins. We have been eating cucumbers and green beans - yum! And a couple pumpkins are growing,too.
A squirrel jumped into my sewing room this week! Looking for something to do with the leftover jelly roll strips from Glowing Hearts and inspired by Vicki's post, here, I decided to make a braided tablerunner. Easy and fun!
Growing!
I found a tutorial on Pinterest that helped me get started. I'm cutting the strips at 10.5 inches, and 26 of them should give me a runner that is 12 x 32. Just a few more strips!
I finished a book from a favorite series yesterday. It's always enjoyable to get back into the world of some favorite characters.
LeeAnna's question of the week is about shopping at garage sales and thrift shops. I don't do a lot of that, but I do admire the finds that some bloggers share from their thrifting. We have recently been using big dishes that we find at the local Goodwill store for our bird bath, though. It was Mike's idea to try this and it works great! Plus, you can find fun and colorful dishes for not very much $$!

Happy Thursday, Diann. Your marigold plant is magnificent. I love it when they reseed themselves. Great idea on using large plates for birdbaths. You found a very pretty one. I am going to keep my eye out for one for my garden. I have been tempted to start a braid runner too. Thank you for showing it in progress. Yours is looking fabulous! Enjoy your day. Hugs.
