This is my little garden corner. I finally made myself get out and rake leaves today. I moved the bench over and tried to just neaten up the area. Tim was storing bags of cement in my wheelbarrow and I had to lift those out and put them in the old shed before I could use it. I made several trips into the woods with the leaves. The wheelbarrow and rake are still sitting right where you see them. I really should get back out there and put them away.
This is the potholder I made last night with the tutorial from Debbie's blog. It's ok. Very patchworked from bits I had around. Now that I get the gist of how to do it, I'll plan to get some fabric just for making a few of these. The crocheted back seems ok but I want to try some knitted also and maybe with some heartier yarn.
I just looked over the picture of my wheelbarrow and realized it's the same color as my front door. :)

Your blog looks so "new", I really like the new look you have given it. :o) I like the bench in your garden, it seems so nice and looks good in the garden. I have always liked benches. And your quilt looks lovely, I like the colours too. :o)
looovely :)
Oh I like the look of that. I will pop over to see these when I have time.
Thanks Hulda. Yes, I decided that it was way too busy so I got rid of most of the extras. I like it better and I can use bigger pictures now, which is nice. Thank you for the nice comments on my bench and potholder.
Sarah, thanks. :)
Cindi, Deb's is really great.
Oh I know what you mean about winterizing and raking! LOL! It sure is nice being out there breathing in that lovely Autumn scent!
:-)
I love the pot holder, so very pretty!
Ooooo...that is wat too pretty for a potholder! I'd hang it up and just look at it! hee hee
I like the picture with the bench, makes you want to stop, sit and take in Fall.
The potholder is lovely, I like the crochet edges.
XOXO
Cool potholder! Winterizing...wish we had to do that here!
Thanks for the snow wish.
What a cool pot-holder! I love the quilted look.
I also love the way the colors in your winterizing photo look together; the red wheelbarrow, the green rake, the blue wall. I like it so much, I would just leave them there together till Christmas, lol!
Lisa, I love the potholder; a pretty combination of fabrics!
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Debbie
Happy Thanksgiving!! Have a greeeeeeaaaaat day :)
The pot holder is fabo! Giggling to myself as I did not notice the blog change - froggy was there - all was well.
The potholder turned out lovely. I like the patchwork reminds me a bit of the fabric of the quilts made by my great-grandmother...my grandma's and my mother's are different - this reminds me of great-grandma P
That is so lovely. Looks like a doll blankie! Love it :)
