While I’m continuing to stitch my cup-and-ring marks, I thought I’d show you a couple of other projects.
Some impromptu cord-making with #12 Valdani perle cotton …
And Don’s latest yard art (the base of the one on the left will eventually be filled in by marigolds) …
And I almost forgot the salad … arugula and red leaf lettuce mix, fresh mandarin oranges, celery, cucumber, queso fresco and chives with a light citrus vinaigrette …
Gotta love springtime eating!

Your yard is like an art installation! It’s so pretty back there 🙂
I think I know that creatures body, yes?!
The salad sure looks yummy.

Making cord is mesmerizing … I got into a rhythm and didn’t realize how long I was at it until a blister started to come up on my left hand

Did I already tell you Liz that Don needs to have his sculptures in a gallery? And thank you for sharing that great video, Got too give it a try.

I’m sure he’ll be delighted to know you said that, but right now we still have room on the fences and in the garden for Don’s creations and I love them too much to give them up

I must say it’s fun to look out my back windows … now if I can just convince the Don and the grandkids to refresh some of the metal art paint …
