lots of colour in the works


with just two days left until the big birthday celebration the girls wanted to take out the paints. of course there was not just the paper which had to be "made" into something, there was also the teachers gift...
a few weeks back, naomi planted sunflower seeds and the pot was not very nice in her opinion. it very much needed a coat of paints to be dressed with. i love her little striped pot and meanwhile i could not stop crocheting. i finished this weeks granny squares already on sunday so i had to come up with something else...
at the library this book was flipped through by me and i liked it right away. i liked the shawl it had a depiction of, but ended up doing a quick jelly jar topper. perfect for a little summer present as needed tomorrow for a friend.
o well wednesday flew by too quick, i was trimming hedges once more, it was lots of cutting and sawing and feeling sad about it. as i had to cut off way too much, though the street cleaning machine needs the space and i was told by the police that we have to trim it back that much. well it's done and i'm sure the shrubs will grow back even stronger. and that's good.
