Wrapping Up the Week

We were forecast to have rain and possibly 'violent' weather this afternoon, so I took my camera out to the garden this morning to get a picture of the Arum, just in case it didn't survive the afternoon's activities. I love these white climbers:

We purchased a new TV for the kitchen today, part of the birthday thing. This one is perfect: doesn't take up much space and the screen is bigger, so I can see the ball scores from across the room!

K & D called this evening from their Pacific Northwest vacation. They are freezing and we have been roasting! Such is life! I am green with envy: they are in Portland, heading out to the coast tomorrow and spending a week enjoying the lovely scenery.

I've started two new silk pieces today: one will be a charmeuse halter top for K, and the other is going to be a quilted wall hanging for our new condo. I'm also dreaming about another cotton and silk wall hanging. It's been too long since I've done any real fiber art.
