Big Blackberries , Moving ,and The Beach

Good Morning :)

Look at the size of these !The blackberries are HUGE ! We have just been starting to get some ripe ones the past few days.. The weather must be perfect for them this year , because they are doing amazing ! I am having great luck with everything in the garden except my green beans..

Yesterday was closing on her first house and moving day for my daughter ..

You can see her chalk painted chairs , table and a hutch we painted a couple years ago..in her dining room. Not sure what is going to happen with that louvered door cabinet ... Everything got moved in and most everything put away .

I am going to miss my garden next week , because we are off to the beach ! I hope everything stays alive !

Have a great weekend ! I am off to pack :)

Thanks for stopping by and your nice comments !

Chelsea's Chairs

Good Monday morning ! Hope you had a great weekend ! My daughter is buying her first house, she closes this Wednesday ! She is very excited.. We have been going to church rummage sales , estate sales and thrift shops, buying things to fix up for her new home.. We got 4 of these pretty chairs at a church rummage sale for $15.00 each.. they are sturdy chairs from a bank in town ( they had a sticker with the banks name on them)

She is going with a beachy color scheme in the kitchen ,family room ,dining room areas.. so she painted them this pretty green color. She used Behr paint and primer mixed with plaster of paris and water to make chalk paint..It took 2 coats but they look amazing !

You can see the ugly fabric that used to cover the seats in this photo.. She used a soft paisley print that has a couple colors of aqua, light greens and tan..The fabric came from Joann Fabrics. For the chairs , the paint and the fabric it was under $90.00 ..

This is the table that she will use with the chairs. We got this oak table at a different church rummage sale and painted it off white.. I will show more photos of her dining are when she gets settled in. There is some work to be done in her new house.. she's putting wood floors in , and she needs a new sliding glass door and of course painting the walls and trim.

I am working on the August Country Cottage Needleworks cottage .. Love how it looks on the evenweave fabric .. so glad I took the plunge !

The Chevron Blanket is Finished

It is finished ! (and all I can think about is what am I going to make next )! :)

I just did a row of single crochet around it for a border. I only did the roses on one end , because they are kind of heavy and were a pain to sew on ! If you want the pattern for the roses or the ripple ,you can go back a few posts and I linked both of the patterns.

I also finished this patriotic stitching last night .. I am hoping to do all the months and have one frame that I change them out of. Its not on Aida cloth , so I am getting better :)

I planted lots of zinnia seeds in different parts of the garden and flower beds so that I could pick them to have bouquets all over the house. So far I just want to leave them out in the yard ! The ones above are little mini zinnias ..so cute !

These are kind of ruffled petals..

and these are spotted ..

These in the back of the potato patch are big flowers , tall ones too.

My tomatoes are growing haphazardly everywhere .. I use tomato cages but the cages would have to be twice as tall as they are to contain them. I need to think of something different for next year, suggestions would be great !. There is a sunflower plant right in the middle of the tomatoes, ( planted by a bird or chipmunk) I am leaving it until it is finished flowering !

Yesterdays garden goodies... love the raspberries ! This is the view out of my kitchen window yesterday .. Love this time of year ! Thanks for stopping by and your nice comments !
