slow coming of summer

Lost and lots of rain.............
Wet winter, wet spring means that our small garden is very lush and green; 
but with little sunshine now and then some colour is coming through at last!











With so much time spent indoors I managed to finish two projects in May.

Crojo Retro blanket - so pleased this is done. 
It is all wool and very warm, so not very comfortable on my lap any more. 



Also my Cherry Picker's Garden quilt, all done.
The colours in the picture are not exactly true,
what looks red here is actually more salmon pink. 




Whenever I am working an any project, 
my sewing room is a total chaos;


but all tidy now....ready to start on something new. 
What is it going to be?

  2. Your Cherry Picker's Garden quilt is as pretty as the flowers in your garden, Radka. Such a cheery quilt it is. Those pinks and greens dance wonderfully together. As a babe in the woods with my crochet skills I'm in awe with your Crojo Retro Blanket. Those flowers and stems of leaves look amazing! How beautiful they are! Love too the dark background. You certainly have two gorgeous finishes to enjoy. Enjoy too, your garden and the sunshine.

  3. Two lovely finishes Radka and I especially love the crochet. Will be lovely to pull out next winter. Your garden is looking lovely. Ours too is very green - we had a week away and it was a bit jungly when we got back! xx

  4. Dear Radka, I'm happy to hear from you... both of your works are breathtaking. You did a great job. The crochet blanket, just like the quilt. One dream... no - two :-)))
    The garden is wonderful now, we also had a lot of rain and sun, everything is thriving.
    Being outside is the most fun... sewing comes a bit second for me... I'm so excited to see what you start next. The calm before the storm of creativity. Isn't it wonderful?
    A hug for you from Viola.

  8. Hei Radka!
    Mange fine blomster i mai og nå er det sikker fylt opp med mange flere!
    To nydelige tepper som du har ferdigstilt. Quilten din er bare helt nydelig, et fantastisk arbeid!
    Jeg gleder meg veldig til ditt neste prosjekt! Men du får vel ikke gjort så mye nå midt på sommeren?
    Jeg har bare heklet et par solhatter til mine barnebarn.
    Ha en fin sommer!
    Hilsen fra Turid
