Labor Day Weekend

My daughter and her boyfriend are visiting for the weekend. Here they are trying to get a wild bunny to eat some carrot.
Bunny was enjoying the special treat.
Hubby and boyfriend played nine holes of golf while daughter and I looked at quilt patterns. I think that I finally have a handle on the types of patterns and colors that she would like in a quilt. I'm not sure when I will get to this, but I will probably wait until next summer before I start. That gives me plenty of time to pick the pattern and find and buy all of the fabric.
I managed to work on Baker Beach a little bit this week. This is where it was last week:
You can see that I have now added about 200 stitches of brown.

I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching today. I hope to add another 100 stitches to Baker Beach, but with company here today I may have to wait for some Monday Stitching. Speaking of Monday, I will join the Stitchery Link Party at Super Mom - No Cape tomorrow. Pop on over to these sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.

I have managed to crochet some more roses.
 I just have to make 6 more in this lavender color and then add leaves and background to the last 30 roses. Then I can start crocheting together all 110 Granny Rose Squares. I am really looking forward to finally finishing this afghan.

 I hope everyone enjoys this holiday weekend!

 Thanks for stopping by!

    Those beautiful crochet roses ! :) And good progress on Baker's Beach.

    I love when the bunnies visit...had a tiny baby one hanging out here behind the bushes and flowers for awhile last month and when the grandkids were down they got to see it come out for awhile. They got such a kick out of that!
