Doily Contrasts

This week has been one of contrasts:


Colour, bright and neon and a sedate ecru!


Yarn, thick chunky wool and fine cotton!

Sunflower Bloom
I have finished another Patricia Kristoffersen doily for my bedspread.  It was much more difficult than the first two.  I have started the fourth one and that is really difficult!  But hey I love a challenge.


The above is a doily I have done in dk cotton from a chart I found on Pinterest.  I made it for my table outside to lighten up a shady spot this summer.  The colours are not true in this photo (it was taken early this evening).  The true colour are those in the first photo above.


 This is the next two rounds of Kates Mini rings ofchange CAL, wk 2.  I had a hard time restraining myself from doing more rows.  That’s why the neon doily was started. Lol!

It has been stiflingly hot this week, and my poor flowers are being bleached by the sun.  The grass is brown, at least it has stopped growing!


However the mini agapanthus loves the heat!


The vegetable garden is thriving and this this morning’s pickings.


This week Peggy Sue takes a star turn.

Have a great week and thank you for visiting.
