Lovely weekend

A little sunshine, a little time for stitching, a little time for reading (books other than Income Tax Act and textbooks) and I am the happiest woman in the world!

I can't believe it, I actually was stitching! Here is my progress on Provence:

It is almost impossible to garden in the Yukon. For 5 years I'm trying to grow tomatoes with no luck...
I don't even hope that those little green tomatoes will turn red:


flowers are looking OK




and of course, the best looking are our Yukon flowers, fireweed:


So long friends,
Evalina

  5. What a beautiful blog!
    Your stitching is lovely, your green tomatoes cute, your flowers gorgeous, and your choice of birthday coffee can't be faulted (I have a Catalan friend who introduced me to Spanish coffee - yummy!).

  10. that's a really beautiful stitch (stitching? :3). I only did some cross-stitching before, and I gave up before I was finished. Hah. T.T I have no patience for these things, but I so admire your will to stitch and garden. ^-^ when there's a will, there's a way. those green tomatoes WILL turn red! hahaha~

  12. Your stitching looks absolutetly wonderful! Look forward to seeing more of it. I wonder why tomatos are not growing there? Perhaps it's to do with the land or climate? There must be a solution around this. Have you tried figuring out why they are not growing? Love from AnaGoncalves on Swap bot, Blog me, Baby exchange.

  15. Do the tomatoes have any color yet? Maybe you can have luck by ripening them off the vine. Wolfeagle
