Monday, Monday

April 28, 2014

This is my kind of Monday, loads of roses, a bright blue sky AND we're heading to the beach to meet our son and granddog.  Just a perfect Monday, Monday.  
I've finished a baby sweater and just about ready to publish another doll sweater pattern.  I'm having so much fun with doll clothes and have quite a few more in the works.  
The photos were taken over an hour this morning, the morning haze was slowly lifting to reveal an azure sky.

  2. what a fabulous garden, it must take a lot of very hard work, but tremendously worthwhile. We are heading into Autumn over here in Melbourne Australia, and a very grey dismal rainy day, but we certainly need the rain after a long hot dry summer. great to see your beautiful sunny flower filled garden. I am looking forward to getting out of my leg cast this week and into a moon boot a bit more mobility at least. Still plenty of time for knitting. Thanks for the gorgeous pictures to brighten the day.
