Janet of All Trades

It's Friday and I am thinking of projects for the weekend. I must finish this hanging garden for our gate. I am making it in Sunbrella fabric (Essex Ivy) to match our awning as well as making it weather proof.   Hastily getting it before the summer is over!

Some projects that I have completed this summer for Baby Gifts. The Block are 5" squares that I made in some fun fabric from a great web site (tonicliving.com). Found the free pattern online and once you get going, you will not be able to stop. I made 18! Bears are for twin boys that are soon to arrive and where made from a photo I saw online. I think they came out pretty close to the photo. (mine are the bottom photo). Made from blue,white and brown felt. I added the brown and blue ribbon since their neck looked bare.

Today I dream about the weekend and think about all the things I want to do and create. I have a huge list that rolls thru my mind like the ticker on the stock market..painting,gardening,sewing or possible creating a piece of jewelry. I can't stop the scrolling of ideas and it clouds my mind during the mid week.  Possible inspiration for my paintings...

It has been a very raining and cold summer here in the northeast. Today we actually may see 85. Here are some photos of my garden and some lovely visitors.

What do I blog about, well just about anything. Title is a take on the old saying Jack of all trades,master of nothing.. So.. It's Monday and after having the typical Sunday night "I dread to go to work on Monday"episode, I am now at work and 1/2 the day is over. It's not that I don't like my work, I do but it is becoming increasingly boring since the down turn in the Economy.. I tend to sit and day dream about what I could or should be doing. So I have started this blog to figure it all out. I am sure there are others out there with the same feelings and ideas, so I will just be posting whatever I feel like posting. Check back as I am sure there will photo of what I will be doing..
