Time Has Wings!

 Next week June 21st is the first day of summer!

Wow, time is moving quickly into summer. It is glorious seeing the tide come in & the tide goes out, the water moving one way or the other way gives movement to the frozen water that laid still just months ago!

Bill has been busy outside making the Gnome Home come to life! He has put solar lights to illuminate the darkness of night. Here is a pic of it last night!

He is now making an octagon roof with cedar shingles to crown the top of the tree so we can enjoy it for years to come!

A taste of summer is rhubarb pie! This is from our batch & will now have to wait until more comes up but oh,  the taste of summer having this pie! It makes me think of my Grandma Haynes & her pantry with pies! xXx

The garbage bin now has our Beaver Moon on it & will help navigate those up our laneway this summer. Our home is not viewed from the road & an 800ft laneway must be travelled to even see the house.

And now coming up the laneway you see...

The Bunkie! aka The She Shed! The siding has now gone on & we're waiting for the decking to be put on the front & back & the front will have three steps across the front to have a sit down outside when the mosquitoes are gone this fall.

Our eldest son Donald has accepted the Kone Elevator job for New Brunswick & now he too will be living here with his English Bulldog Gordo. They will be here until he too finds a place to live. 

Our youngest son Nicholas & his girlfriend are happy in their home in Miramichi, in Chatham. 

With our one son Mitchell in Alberta & his wife, Nicole lives away & we will visit them again in their new beautiful 10-acre property & when we can. They will be visiting us on Labour Day & at Christmas this year! xXx

Sew Alongs------ oh my I love those sew along, some are BOW(block of the week) and some BOM(block of the month) they keep me sew busy!!

This was a Patchwork Possie with Becky - BOD(block of the day) called Walkabout - one block & you were to walkabout your neighbourhood, daily! With so much going on I did do a bike ride with my girlfriend Debbie!

I also changed it out a bit to make it my own. I live on the Acadian coastline & have many Acadian friends, so this is to honour where I live & my friendships.

This is a mystery BOW with Little Red Rooster called Jack-O-Lantern Lane: a pumpkin wooly mystery.  Block 1.

Block 2 

This is a BOW with Piecing the Past Stitchers called Dresden Picnic, we're on week 5 this is from week 3 & more blades to the fan have been made!

There are also Edyta Sitar's mysteries that I'm keeping up with but have no photos to show that are recent.

Sew many projects!!

These are pillows in the making!

A pair of velvety bolters for the sofa, they were so easy to make & cost a fortune to purchase!

Oh, Canada Day is just a couple of weeks out now!

So I got a head start on my decor for that day as the company will be here soon!

Holding down the table topper is a piece of petrified wood that Bill found on the beach last night, it is so heavy!

I covered the rotating chair at the end a couple of years ago & will make throw pillows for the new sette. I smile at the yarn-tied Canada red with white maple leaves from a small throw I made the guys when they went to the Route 66 race back in the early 90s. It has survived so many washings, kids, & pets!

This is the new seat that Bill got me & it has a matching glass-covered table. I put a tablecloth on the bottom & covered the two cushions with flags I made several years ago attaching them with 5pcs of elastic for easy removal & storage.

The Canadian geese are all decked out too!

The porch is one of my favourite places to sit & watch & listen to the birds at the feeders.

I'm making a sewing bag with this in the pocket front! 

The Labyrinth Walk has gone off to be longarm quilted & will be raffled off by the 4-H Club.

My donation to the community to help it grow stronger with our youth.

So much sewing in my daily life & ideas of sewing & decorating when I am not!

The sunsets in our yard at this time of year & each one is so beautiful. On really red nights the house has a red glow in the rooms that face the water, such a sight!

Bill & I are always saying how wonderful it is to live year-round at the resort! 

Thank you for stopping by for a virtual visit & I do hope you too get the opportunity to visit the beautiful Atlantic Maritime.

As always, wishing you health & happiness.

One of my many favourite sayings...

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind.  -  Dr.Seuss, pen name for Theodor Suess Geisel

Until next time enjoy what summer has to offer!
