What a wonderful day...... or weekend

It was a wonderful weekend here at Red Gate Farm.  Yesterday started with the sun peeking out.  The horizon starting to glow.























Spreading to the greenhouse...

then the pumphouse...

and finally the barn.

















Today, Sunday, I got to spend time here.  In my sewing room.

Getting ready for the fast approaching baby shower.  By making this...

















into this.  A cute, Anthropolgie inspired, tea towel made from a piece of vintage linen tablecloth.  With a few added embellishments.

Let me show you a close up of the ribbon.  I love this little ribbon with the cute little mushrooms.  But "shhhh" don't tell, it's a surpise.  Part of a prize for one of the baby shower games.

















Sad to see the weekend go,

  8. Very cute towel!

    I'm planning on getting a bit of sewing done myself today now that I have the batting and backing for the quilt.

    What day is the shower? Just curious to see if I can get the quilt done in time...

  13. We had a lovely weekend too! Finally some sun. Your tea towel is so cute. It reminds me of the burpies we made for Baby Bee by sewing ribbon onto new diapers. I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve.
