I am still is production mode with these striped cushions. I warned you I'd be at it for a while. I have a few more to go, but the end is in sight. I am getting better and better at it. I can get one done in about 20 minutes at this point. And look at those stripes. Whew.
As I finish them, I hand them over to my son-in-law and he puts them right to use in the outside area of his wine-tasting room in Murphys. Stop by La Folia Wine Bar on Main Street, taste some of his wine, and sit on my cushions!
It wasn't all cushion-making this past weekend. Archie had a playdate! Winston, the tasting room puppy came over to play and the two of them really hit it off. Well, they chased each other around the yard until they were both in a state of exhaustion.
Winston is a Westie, and seems like a real sweetheart. It will be so good for Archie to have a friend.
In other fun news, I went to a fashion show and saw some really pretty spring clothes and some stylish ladies. When I came home, my husband had ordered pizza and we watched the Academy Awards. We've been binge-watching the nominated movies this past week and were keen to see who won. I think our favorite was a French movie called Anatomy of a Fall, about a woman who is accused of pushing her obnoxious husband out of a window. There is a trial, which was a real eye-opener into the French legal system. My goodness, they sure do allow a lot of speculative testimony that would never be allowed in our court system. It was thought-provoking and very interesting. We liked Oppenheimer as well, but gosh it was long. Killers of a Flower Moon was so long it should be a crime, and I lost the thread so many times it was ridiculous. We really liked The Holdovers too, with Paul Giamatti.
Hope you had a terrific weekend. Warmer weather is predicted for us next week. Temperatures in the 70s have been mentioned, so I do hope I won't be disappointed.

It sounds like you had a great weekend! The cushions are looking great and such a nice spot of color in the wine tasting area. Puppy play dates certainly are fun!

The cushions look terrific on the tasting room’s outdoor chairs. I love that sandwich board sign! Archie & Winston will begin to look forward to playdates together! I watched ‘Barbie’ on the plane on my way home from my sister’s but I haven’t seen any of the other nominated movies. Have a good week with some warmer weather!

exhaustion in a young dog is a good thing. it means you can get some things done while they sleep. ;p

Those cushions are beautifully done! He is so lucky to have you as a resource and they complement the outdoor seating so well.
Little Archie and Winston’s friendship reminds me of Ozzie and Remy in past years. How wonderful to have doggie friends! 🙂

Cushions look great and the dogs are the best! I will need to check out that first movie you mentioned as I didn’t see it, agree with what you said about the rest! Loved The Holdovers, should’ve won.
