Tidy up Wednesday

Tidy Up.....The ends of the 3 scarves - weave in the ends and add a fringe on both ends. The pattern called for adding tassles at the colour changes on the zap - I opted out, as I know the kids aren't fussy about having something like that, floating in their faces.
 
 Revisiting Carolina Cross Roads re: Bonnie Hunters Mystery Quilt. Hmmm, what year LOL!!!! I pulled it out once again - counted, sorted, tallied up....and will finish cutting up the required pieces and either continue to sew on it or kit it all up for another day. I did this quilt in my Christmas fabrics and really wish I would move my butt to finish it! Even if only the flimsy top......sigh!!!
 Hopefully, the last lawn cut for the season. Very nippy out today, but very refreshing. My backyard has given me grief since we bought this house 8-9 years ago. Large parts were covered in "wandering charlie" and I've done every thing organically to get rid of it. 1st pic: reseeded this spot about a month ago & it's growing like crazy.
 2nd pic: With the heat we had this summer, compounded with lack of rain - the lawn died a crispy death ( which is fine usually) but, it's coming back full of @*&$&#^ CRAB GRASS and I've been slowly digging it out and reseeding.
 3rd pic: The lovely creeping charlie. Another patch that needs to be done and I'm giving up. Spoke with the other half and told him we need to hire a lawn company that's licenced to use heavier chemicals to finally rid the lawns of it. This cuts into my sewing time - don't you know *wink wink!!
The weather forecast calls for COLD weather and rain. Tis a good reason to get the outside jobs done, so I can play inside!!! Sounds good to me!
