A pair of American Goldfinches.

(It was pouring rain outside and the window was dripping with water, so not the best picture.)

My son got a good deal on a 'fixer-up' bike, and after a lot of work he was finally able to get it running to try it out this evening.

A good day to clean the windows (and a lot more things!).

I did some non-quilting sewing today - it was nice to sew big pieces of fabric. 

My family wanted pillows for the floor when they watch TV.

Day 162

I finished the mystery knit along today! I had challenged myself to keep up with the 'clues' and the last one was today. Two types of hand dyed yarn (silk, and silk and mohair) from England, and almost 70g of triangular beads. More info here.

Day 161

Canada Day!

Cool, rain and high winds, hopefully this is the last day of bad weather. The sun is supposed to start shinning for the rest of the week!
