Among the Cracks of the Day

The first day of Spring was more like winter again for us today!  These sunflowers shivered throughout the day!

A lot of this went on through the day, too!  

The weather threatened rain several times and even a few sprinkles dampened the project!

While I wasn't being a gopher, I finished the last of the 80 units for the Mystery QOV!

They are now bagged up and will wait for clue 4 this week.

While Matthew was working on the pool area, Bill was working on painting the ceiling in the family room.  This room will be a bit upside down for a few more days because we will be painting the walls, too!  

I dashed into the sewing room 

and recovered the patio footstool cushion

 and then made a pillow to match.

I have a lot of this print out of outdoor fabric so I will make a whole bunch of pillows for the chaise lounges 

and deck chairs in the lanai.

By evening when we had to give up on painting the pool decking because of rain, I was glad to be done with the clean-up and hit the couch, cat on lap and sock knitting in my hands! 

 I ran out of yarn (size 12 socks to blame!) for the second sock--so, here is another reason to knit toe-up--I unraveled the first sock at the top and used the yarn to knit up on the second until they were both the same height!   

I now have a finished and matching,

 pair of man-socks for middle son!  

Too bad I didn't have them done before he headed home!
