Berries galore.

Yesterday we went out to a local farm and picked raspberries and blueberries! Oh, they are so good. It was a great afternoon. I am a little sunburned but it was well worth it and the weather was so lovely.
There are a few photos below from the farm. There were such lovely flowers there! DH was very helpful today in laying them all out on trays to dry and getting them into freezer bags for me. Now we will have berries in the, not so nice, west coast months (if we don’t eat them all before then)

It has been a week of finishing up some projects that have been sitting around for a little while. I shared photos above of a couple of swaps that are currently out in the mail on there way to their new owners. It is a ’secret’ swap so I am sharing a picture but that is all I can share for now. I also put in a photo of the skirt that I was telling you about that I made last week. I have 2 more cut out to go. I wore this little white, pink and brown one to church this morning. It fit so nice and the most important thing, it was so comfy! I also finished up putting the charm squares together for a quilt top for our bed. I bought 4 packs of charm square by Moda (all the same) and wanted to make a very simple quilt to put on our bed. I need to get a very plain, linen coloured duvet cover and then I want to lay this on the top. Our walls were recently painted a chocolate brown colour (which I love!) We are adding some simple living/rustic type decor and I want to add some simple quilts (but pretty) to our bedroom decor. Would you believe I have never made a quilt for our bed!! For the kids, yes, but never for us! So….. it was time to make one for us and, with all the other things on the go, I knew if it wasn’t an easy one I wouldn’t get it done. I have to get a fabric for the borders and blocker and back so………off to check off the online shops to see what I can find.
