This is what I did yesterday instead of knitting. It is a very rustic flag to hang on my garden gate. I don’t think it shows up very well in the picture, but I made stars out of wire and painted them blue. I am not sure how much I like this project and it is receiving mixed reviews from the family. Inspiration struck when I was pruning a dogwood.
While I was out there taking snapping a picture, I thought you might also enjoy one of the roses. Please don’t email me asking questions about caring for roses. The picture is deceiving – this rose is growing to spite me. I bought it, I planted it, I cut off dead branches. That is the full extent of my rose knowledge!

You are one crafty chick. I like the flag…
I think the flag looks great.
And what a great shot of the rose (and the berry!)… Everytime I see that pattern I want to make it, it’s like it can’t help but be the cutest lil girl hat ever.
I know what you mean about not enough hours. How can I knit everything, embroider a buncha pillows, read the stack of books by my bed AND contribute meaningfully to my favorite bloggers??
Obviously I am far too busy to actually work. :)
Very creative and appreciated!!

Oh, my gosh-please no pee in the pool!!! I’m new to your blog, but when I saw the pug I knew I must put in my favorites! You got me laughing so hard with the Pugrutter and the weed stuck in Lucy’s tail!! HAHAHAHA Love her name, too I’ve got a pug named Sally! They really do keep you laughing don’t they? Love your roses and the flag, too! Listening to your inspiration makes it all worth while! I with you and Chelsea..How can I knit, read all the books I want to get too, AND read all my favorites??? What bliss!
thanks PJ! It is good to know that I am not the only nut out there in love with a Pug!! We have four dogs – but I would really love to get another Pug (the husband thinks otherwise!)
