Glad you're having a wonderful weekend. We too, down here, are enjoying
ourselves. After about 16 weekends of very hard work, DH and his
"apprentice" mate Darren, have completed "The Mega Decks". Our old back
porch was very wonky and was knocked down last year. Now I have a loverly
14 metre long by 4 metre wide two level timber deck. Surrounded by
beautiful rainbow Phlax, camellias, climbing roses down the back end (with a
beautiful hand made by DH and Me trellis), and mondo grass, once we manage
to afford some bench seats we will be able to sit and relax amongst nature.
I also have a new clothes line. Are they satisfied? NO! They are starting
work on a garden hedge of lilli-pillis (a native aussie plant) across the
back fence and are talking of planting a jasmine climber to go over the
shed. They have done a fantastic job and deserve public acclaim! Photos
will be up on my website if anyone is interested in about 2 weeks. Any
other DIY people's have reports?

Living in a small town we don't get into the big city of Edmonton much, at
least have spare time but tomorrow we are going in and I told DH I want to
go window shopping at a fabric shop I've never been before. They have a
website and looks like a place to go.

I have nothing in particular to buy so want to just look. Although I do
want to make my DS girlfriend a wallhanging. She's been busy painting and
fixing up DS condo. We own it, son lives there. She painted the living
room and hallway mauve. Son has black furniture and fixtures and she has
made it look very nice there. She's done a lot of labour and deserves a
treat.

The wallhanging I want to do is made in my mind, now to just design it.
I've been waiting to find the perfect picture of a unicorn (her fav
animal).
I want to applique on a midnight purple fabric, whether it be one/two diff
piece or a colour wash of a night sky. So I want to look for that type of
printed fabric tomorrow.

Anyone know of a basic picture for download on the net for a unicorn (or
horse and I could add a horn myself)? Haven't found *the one* yet.

After hitting the fabric store it's off to my DS. He dropped his key ring
between the condo outside wall and his steps, so we have to take jacks and
crowbars etc, move the steps to retrieve his keys. then move the steps
back
and level. Anyone care to help?? LOL

Then it's off to the football game. Our other DS will come over to help
with
the steps and we will all go to the football game. Sounds like it's
shaping
up to be a perfect Saturday.......fabric, sons, and football.

Everyone have a great weekend too.
