Thursday morning I cut the parts for this week's Blockheads blocks. There are 2 versions suggested again this week.
There are a LOT of pieces in this week's block pattern but the result is worth that extra effort. It's called Dew Drops by Chelsi Stratton. Only 1 of the 2 blocks has been sewn so far, but maybe I'll get started on the second one this morning while I have an hour or so.
The only real difference in my 2 versions will be different red/white/blue scraps that I'm using. There have been some very interesting variations posted in the Facebook group with unique color placement that changes the whole look of the block. I'm sticking with the original layout.
Grandpa's golf camp continues. The boys are 14 and 12, and started golf when they were in First Tee programs at about 6. It's something they do sometimes as a family. I think grandpa is enjoying this even more than the boys, but it is really nice just having them hanging out for a few days. So far I'm just the cook and clean-up staff. LOL I am headed to watch their sister swim at a meet this afternoon.
Many of the blogs I follow have been showing their beautiful gardens. Since I don't garden anymore - other than a couple of flower pots - I thought I'd share my front porch flowers. These are silk and have solar lights hiding in among them. Since it's always in the shade, the silk versions don't get wet or have sun shining directly on them. I can enjoy the colors when I'm sitting out there reading, without any extra work.

Well done, Sara, on sewing the Blockhead block. I thought your planter was just gorgeous until I read it's silk! Lol. I should get some of that too as I am a serial plant killer. Lol. Enjoy! ;^)
