Week 14!
Green, blue and orange.
I still have not ordered more yarn yet - but I am definitely running low. (Even though it may not look like it from the pic below - it reallly does go quickly!)
Oh, and did I mention I've weaved in all my ends? Yep! Totally caught up and it wasn't all that terrible!
Have a great weekend, friends!

Here you go my friends... a calming color combo of blue, green and purple.
I'm now officially up to 19 squares (I managed to crank out more than one square for a few weeks...) and I think I'm close to starting to put it all together, or at least - laying out all the squares on the floor to see how they look together. Believe it or not I've not done that yet. There are one or two squares which I'm not sure about... in particular, I'm worried about a pale yellow yarn I used occasionally. It's really a lovely color, I'm just not convinced it's going to "work" with the other colors I've been using.
I'm excited about the progress though.
And yes, time to buy more yarn!

Well our baby bird flew the coop last week. She (he?) was only with us for maybe a week. So fast! I really do miss the birds, I have to admit.
I've kept the nest on the wall hoping they (or others?) will come back. (A girl can dream, can't she? :)
The night the baby flew away there was a terrible rain storm, so I hope she is OK! Hopefully instinct kicked in and she hid in a bush or somewhere safe...
It's still hot and steamy here in northern Virginia. I miss my long walks with Patrick, but it is JUST too hot. It really is.
Here's a snap of a Cosmos flower on our patio enjoying the sun.
And thanks to my mother - who advised me it IS a Cosmos - I had no idea!

Here is my weekly granny square goodness.
Green, dark pink and dark yellow. I kinda like it. ♥
Til next week my friends...

The baby bird in the wreath has hatched!
There were two eggs, but it seems there is only one baby bird. She is a real cutie.
This picture was taken on July 5, last Friday. She really had no feathers or even fuzz (at least on her head... I did not want to bother her too much and stayed back as much as I could.) And she really just spent her days with her mouth in the air looking for worms. As shown below. :)
This picture was taken today... she's really changed a lot in just four days.
Her eyes are wide open and she is starting to look like a real bird. And I'm not sure if you can see it, but there's an adorable patch of grey fuzz on the top of her head.
I feel so lucky! ♥

OK, I am officially resetting my (I see now) ambitious Granny Square a Week project!
***CLICK***
There... I feel better. :)
I obviously lost my mojo on this project. But that could be said of a lot of areas of my life lately so I am just going to keep trucking forward.
I made this square yesterday. And it felt darn good if I do say so myself.
It had been so long I thought I would have forgotten how to actually make a granny square, but it was just like riding a bike!
I even weaved in my ends. Seriously.

Before work this morning, I went outside, took a deep breath, and snapped some pics. I think it helped my mood. :)
Just a little purple flower.
And our birdie in the nest!
Can you see her?
She had started building her nest while the wreath was still on the door (!) but I was afraid she was not safe there. Also, I did not want her flying inside. So we moved her to the wall... There are two little speckled eggs inside, and she's been hard at work keeping them warm for a while now. Hopefully we'll have some babies soon!
I don't like to bother her too much, but I did want to take her pic. She is so cute. ♥
