I have been working on another project for my gardens. This time it’s a birdbath, made from clay pots and saucers. It has been painted, decaled and then varithaned to protect it from the elements. I still have to give it two more coats and then it will be all done.
But here are pictures of it, from different sides.

Need suggestions for a quilt.  I made this quilt a few months ago.



I loved the fabrics so much that I bought some more.  They only came in 3/4 yard pieces in packs of 3.  I bought what looked like enough to do the bottom quilt in lap size.  Only now that I'm looking at the fabrics I have, there doesn't seem to be enough contrast.  My greens are all mottled and my blues are too.  I was planning on using blue instead of cream for background.  Now I can't decide if I should continue on, or pick a different pattern.  I recently did a subway tile patterned quilt for my daughter and I loved how modern it looked and how it showed off the fabrics.  The fabrics are all Winter/Christmas themed, so I liked the idea of making a Christmas tree out of them.  Obviously, I already made one Christmas tree, but I liked the log cabin pattern too.  Maybe I should just shelf it for later.

hi all :D


found a pattern i'd like to try for a shawl for myself here

i'm going to be wearing it in early august over a strapless red dress (hubby & i are going to be seeing phantom of the opera ^^)
i'd like to make it in black, but i'd also like it to be a little sparkly.  is there somewhere i can find sparkly black thread that will work or should i just go for basic black & bead the fringe?
i've checked hobby lobby, joann's & even walmart.  is here somewhere online, maybe?  i can't afford TOO much but i can splurge just a little.

thanks for the help :D:D
