TGIF and the snow is slowly melting.......

 We managed to get the pond cleaned out before the snow came at the beginning of the week.  My delphiniums are taking a hit, but I'm hoping the cold temperatures won't stunt their growth.
In the meantime I've still got the sewing bug. This material was discounted to something like buy 1 metre get 2 free. So I bought 3 metre's and hoped that would be enough for something. I didn't know what I was going to use it for at that time, but upon looking at the daisy lace pattern on it I loved how it looked as a tablecloth and seat covers.
So I traced the seats of my kitchen chairs and cut out the pattern. Hopefully after I get finished posting this I'll start sewing them up today.
After some fussing and fitting I got the jean jacket finished. Pattern by Burda #7812.

Noodles investigating what's on the floor? Can I eat it mama?
I've got a really cute video of Noodles eating some leftover rice pudding in a little cup (She LOVES rice pudding), but the video is taking it's sweet ass time loading. I will post it asap when it finishes processing.
Here's the video....She didn't eat the whole thing just what I leave her which is about a teaspoon.  Rice pudding is very sticky.  Have to go clean Noodles whiskers now :)

Have a great weekend everyone,
and Happy Mother's Day to all!!

That is a really nice jacket Charlene. Are you sure you don't want to part with it hehe????
You are very ambitious with your sewing. I wish I could get back into it. I know I must keep my focus on my spinning and knitting right now because of all the time and money invested in the sheepies.
We got a little snow yesterday and still have the almost hurricane force winds! Last night we put new wool coats on Lacey and Simon : ))
