A fresh start.

Each day is baby steps towards finding a balance in our lives. We are slowly picking up the pieces and reconnecting with everything that is familiar to us. After finishing the two weeks of quarantine, we realize how blessed we are to have the most amazing neighbours and friends. We appreciate the freedom of going for a walk and doing something as mundane as grocery shopping.  We changed winter tyres in July! The car needed a boost a few times. Then hubby took it for an extensive drive, it is happy now.

These two tops were waiting for the red borders, found this fabric while we were away. Had no idea if the red was the right one, it turned out to be perfect. The binding is partially made  from the remainder of the red fabric.

Started "Kringle's" stitched piece. 

Did some more hand quilting,  this quilt has been on the frame since February. 

Veggie seeds, bought these also in February and had good intentions of starting them off indoors at the end of April,  except we were caught up in a lockdown overseas and could not get home.  Have since planted some seeds in containers in the garage,  they have sprouted. The bean plants are now 9 inches tall and will be planted in the back garden tomorrow. With the extreme heat, planting the seeds in the garden, did not seem like the best way to germinate the seeds. 

It took five days to grow this super bean. (It is planted in the garden and doing well, the pots are now out doors as well).

Trimmed the lavender back yesterday,  watered the grass and did some weeding. All the fresh air made me sleep like a baby.
