Tiny Needle Tuesday

 

Don't ask me how I get anything done on any of these projects this week because I can't tell you. It's been one thing after the other. I did get six more blocks done on the Garden. I have one more row of them and then the entire top half is finished. 

Goat Load got put in time out until fall. I just wasn't feeling those fallish colors. 

I finished the white ring on the Funky Flower and I have to admit this thing is growing on me. I embraced the wonk so the pressure is off. 

Speaking of wonk, with the tiniest of needles I finished block D 11. Those tiny diamonds were almost the end of me. Jane's actual diamonds are much bigger. If I had noticed that before, I would have modified the kit pattern. 

All the blocks of the Patchwork quilt are now together. I'm starting to wonder if I should add one more row to the bottom to make it more rectangular. 

And....if you want some more tree drama, we started the backyard clean up yesterday and look what we found. This monster went across our yard and into the neighbor's yard behind us. The hole the roots left in the ground is enormous. We never heard it come down that night but we sure heard the branches hitting the skylights.

There's several more trees down back there but none as big as that one. Here are the branches that broke out of the tops of the trees that I showed you last week. You can barely walk around out there with all that debris down. It's all just going to have stay there because it's too much to deal with. Since the storm we have heard nothing but chainsaws going all day behind us so we went to investigate. Three more houses with trees through them. Stuff's getting real and storm season has only just begun.
