A ton of chipping right in the middle of the drive, I turned my back and he delivered them.
Phil on nights and in bed so no where to put the camper or car and only little 'ole me, so I made a start....
then had a cuppa, and shovelled and shifted.....
then sat on the swing for a 5 minute break...
then shovelled a bit more but i just couldn't do any more...
just over half way...came inside for a cup of Chicken soup and a square or two of chocolate and to watch the Triathlon...well done GB.
and fell asleep on the sofa, oops!
Phil woke up the sun came out and with in half an hour it was finished...
edge of the lawn need to green up a bit but we now have a permanent gazebo..
some where to eat and chat with friends...
just need to finish treating the last 4 chairs and finish all the cushions...
just a few steps from the back door...
and a cosy place to sit..
Just needs dressing flags, chandelier and friends for dinner
a job well done, hope you like it
Hugs to all x

People think it's a dawdle laying gravel but I can testify that it ain't! You did very well doing all that by yourself - bet you sleep well tonight. The end result is enchanting!Well done both of you on a great job. Have finished side one of my Mandala - pics on my Rav page. Does anyone else have pics to look at?Have a rest tomorrow, Suz, you deserve time to enjoy that beautiful space in your garden. x
ReplyDeleteThanks..I certainly did and the afternoon too, lol
DeleteI have a couple all on Ravelry at the moment and a couple more promised pictures
send me a link to your Ravelry page, did a quick lok but couldn't find you.
Hugs x
I know it is not funny about how the man delivered your gravel right smack dab in the middle of the driveway, but I had to chuckle a bit because I only thought that sort of thing would happen to us. makes you wonder if everyone has lost what bit of common sense God has given them. Your hard work paid off, and no doubt you are relieved to know that job is completed. It looks so inviting, your oasis from the heat and I see you have a nice breeze blowing to keep you cool. A great space to escape. I love your recent projects and was also wondering if you are able to share the interlocking block stitch that you used for the Kindle bags you made.
ReplyDeleteI have searched my stitch books and found something similar but just not quite the same. have a good week, and rest up a bit. I'm sure you need it after all the work you put in today.
Susanne :)
Hi Susanne, I was watching for him too, took 5 inutes to clean my teeth and walk down stairs and there it was, plonked right in the middle lol
DeleteI needed the exercise though.
INTERLOCKING BLOCK STITCH BAG will be the next pattern I share with you all I think, so keep popping by before the end of the month, I promise.
Hugs x
Looks like a lot of work - but well worth it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil never knows what I will want to do next lol, but he said yesterday he thought it looked great and I did well, lol
DeleteHugs x
That looks so inviting. Nx
