A Fairy Garden Is Being Built

Yesterday was a lovely warm day with a high of 19.5C or 67F. The low was almost freezing which was a surprise. Today is suppose to have a high similar to yesterday. Then we are to see warmer temperatures.

Lifestyle

I worked a four hour shift Thursday night and yesterday morning and got a lot of  overstock buttons put away. There is still a part of a big box left to go that arrived Wednesday. I am sure they will be waiting for me next week.
After I got home, we headed out to the garden center to get the fairy garden. It was an expensive trip but I have one area tentatively set up. This can change over the next few days. I started off with the house, which is solar powered. A gnome reading a book, mushrooms, and fence finished that section.

Next it was a gnome on a swing and another in a hammock in a small juniper. I may have to figure this one out.

The gnome on the swing is hidden.
Then a welcome sign and a pot of flowers.

I don't have a picture of the whole thing as you can barely see it. I may have to squish it closer together.
Elliott sat on me last night and was so content and happy. I took his picture and he sure doesn't look that. He is a hard cat to photograph as he always looks angry.

He was purring and totally relaxed in this picture. Almost asleep and looking mad. He wasn't that way at all.

Sewing

I spent a bit of time looking for lining for the doll's jacket/top. I found a piece of broadcloth in cream and a cotton in a pink print. I need to look in the box of linings. That means emptying half of the closet out to get to them. I did a quick sweep of the store and only saw broadcloth that fit the bill.

Knitting

The second row of border is crocheted on the afghan. I have started a new colour but the yarn is thinner than the other yarn used. Thinking on it.

I love the contrast and may do two or three rows of half double crochet and then go back to the lighter blue. The light blue is a double crochet.

Today

I am off work and need to shop, do laundry, clean and sew. I wonder if I will get to the sewing. It remains to be seen.
Until tomorrow...............
