Lets go green

                                                                        
I want to talk gardening. Even thou I did not do any today. I did more cow work but I'm tired of dishing the bull  ? .  I want introduce you my garden (veggies that is). I have fenced in a space for my raised beds. Something I have had to do because of Bambi and all their relations. The first pictures are from April before I started getting plants in. Boy were they a mess. I have right now 4 boxes 4x26 and 5 boxes 4x18 with room for 3 more 4x18
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
 
I have cleaned them up and put in the spring crops of potatoes, onions, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower That cold snap in May, killed the cauliflower. I was surprised it did

This is last week looking at the 4 big beds.
It's so pretty, I just love the looks of a vegtable garden. 
It just crys out  "B E A U T I F U L"
This week I've started finially getting in the summer crops. This screwy weather is playing havoc with me and getting time to put things in. I have been to busy planting and not taking pictures. I'll have to take some this week to show.
I did pick some of the brocoli, Should get at least one more cutting. Thats if this heat does not keep up. Otherwise I'll just get one more.
Well thats a little about my garden. I take you through again soon, I would describe it as "A stroll through the veggie patch".

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
