What's in a name?

Actually the question is "what is it's name?"

I finished stitching on the sleeve last night, but it still needs a label

and to put on a label, I need to give it a name

"Still Life"?

"Roses"?

any other ideas?  right now "Still Life" is leading the race for me










a heap of work got done putting the backing and the edges on the necklace tiles

these are looking really good






of course there is still a pretty good sized pile of them waiting for those back and edges

I'm feeling pretty good about the progress on this








there has been some outdoor work going on here

last summer, when we tore out the stairs that were between the two tiers in the garden, I started this little "board walk" with the scrap pieces

this year we were able to get some more landscape timbers that are almost the same size as those old ones, so we decided to finish the job

this has only been "dry fit" at this point --- the next step will be to take these up one section at a time, cut down all of the weeds/trees that are coming up underneath, spray the soil to retard further weed growth, put down weed block cloth then reinstall the wood pieces

(Whew!!)

I do think it's going to look really nice when we finally get that done and clear out the rest of that wood scrap there on the right side

time to get to the laundry!
