It's Monday (but really it's Tuesday)

Holidays and weekends really aren't that different from weekdays when you're retired ... or at least you wouldn't think so. But in reality - they are still different. For some reason, they just feel different.

Sew ... what's been going on?

In the garden, we have some "volunteers."  I read this on a blog ... volunteer flowers are those that bloom and you did NOT plant them.

Pretty sunflowers growing along our back fence! I think the seeds dropped out of the bird feeder.

Those pesky squirrels did a good job.

I've really made progress on this afghan for Baby Amelia. She's doesn't arrived until October. She will be a warm and well-dressed grandbaby!

And ... I made binding.  I had a close call - thought I might have to go buy some fabric. Nothing seemed quite right.  Thankfully, I found this ... from 2007.

I wasn't thrilled with it but decided to "settle." 

Glad I did.

Once My Cute Husband got it hung, the binding looked great.

The quilt looks wonderful. 

and 

All was right in my world.
