Oliver's Run Part Four
Oliver's run all 10x30x6 feet complete with a tree for, ahem, personal use. I'm on the look out for two more 12x6 panels for a total of 42 feet of running space, I can take it out as far as 46 feet. He loves fetching his kong, got shots in my knees today so never made it to the store for tennis balls.
Oliver's Run Part Two
All of the old garden fencing is now gone, everything is mowed and removed save for a few native prairie plants which will be transplanted sometime this week.
Half of the run is up, we will set up the rest of the run tomorrow evening. I'm just too tired to do so tonight, cleaning up the old garden area also meant trimming back the trees, removing volunteer trees, and the like as well as more mowing which hubs did for me!
Oliver's Run Part One
Before, this is my garden that literally went to seed and to the weeds, this summer. John mowed almost everything down, and now there's room for the new, to Oliver, dog run. Our neighbor, Praise God, is giving us their dog run to add to our dog run so it'll go from being 12x16x6 feet to that size plus another 12x8x6 feet, I think it may actually be larger than that, we'll know for sure tomorrow once we have it all set up.
After, a few native plants were spared the lawn mower blade. Specifically the milkweed and the two white plastic buckets, which have their bottoms removed, are protecting my prairie dye plants.
Will post more photos tomorrow once we get the dog run up and usable.
WIP - Bjorkboda (Meandering Stitches)
I wasn't sure if I was going to like the meandering stitces or not, I definatly like the raised areas that this stitch is creating, but the more lanes I'm adding the more I loving the process. I'm also laying down lanes of running stitches, running straight over the machine stitched areas.
To be revealed later a larger patch of hand stitching that I will then machine stitch over for further effect.
