The binding is going well. I've been sitting on the porch with an audio book and stitching for awhile every day. This Fig Tree runner looks so pretty on my dining table. I love the toned down colors for summer.
The colors in this one definitely are not toned down, but it is so darn cute. That quilting design is called Mini Marmalade, and may be one of my favorites ever. I have this little topper on my kitchen counter at the end of the island, and am really enjoying it.
I took my husband's pocket change and a business card off of it for the picture, but even with the junk it seems to attract, it's cute.
Hope you all had a nice weekend. We apparently have gone from a rainy Spring directly into Summer, but I am not complaining. We got our herbs planted this weekend, and I am looking forward to making pasta with them sprinkled throughout.
We bought these raised boxes last year and they definitely solved the issue we were having with gophers!
The flowers are going crazy, including these petunias I thought were goners after the deer ate the tops off all of them. We just put them in the back yard out of the deers' reach and they grew back better than ever. I guess that proves the rule that once your flowers have bloomed, cut them back and they will bloom again.

Your garden flowers look great. We had the spring bulb season here (tulips, etc.) but waiting for the summer flowers to bloom in NJ.

The runners look great and so does your planting. We have those same boxes and they are filled with strawberries. They work great! Have a good week Nicole.

Lovely little table toppers! Do you ever put hanging triangles on the back corners so they can be hung on walls if the mood strikkes you?
Beautiful flowers, too! And those fresh herbs … YUM!
Hugs!

Love your cute runners and your garden looks already beautiful!
Weather here is straight running into summer too.
Last Monday it was so cold I was wearing my boots and today I’m running around in t-shirt and a short skirt. I know which way I prefer it I love summer!
