Doodlin InThe Dirt Shorties & Projaholics~R~Us

Weekend work...lots of it!

First completed project were these board shorts for Mallie,

an Etsy Customer.

Isaiah wears a lot of these colors..

know why?

They hide the dirt

Hide lots of it

So, I call them "Doodlin in The Dirt Shorties

100% squishy soft Merino wool

Waist & cuffs trimmed in coordinating color

of Cascade 220

Drying on the table now ready for tomorrows mail

And a little pocket

just large enough to hold

a little mans hand full of

Worms!

Let me preface this next photo by sayin

"I didn't do it"

The guys were playin with big boy toys.

A month or so ago we noticed leaves burnt on the tree...

They were touching the electrical wire....

to the house

Our local power company came out and trimed them

and then we realized in one or 2 areas you could see

through the tree!

Saturday evening when he got home,

Mr Fix it pulled out his handy dandy chain saw & cut a big wedge,

one good push and over she went...

from the root ball!

The roots were shot and it would have come down on the garage

in the next good wind

So once that mess was cleared up

we started in on the court yard again

Sunday afternoon

Laid all the rocks to ensure we had enough

Papuga was inside screeching

so I brought him out in his small cage

to supervise

He did not like the tractor noise as we

dumped gravel

Now to pull the rocks up and level
We had poured the gravel and then placed the rocks but,
they would never lay correctly
so, we went back to the hard way
but it works for us.

Papuga hated the sound of crunching gravel
so I took him back inside and pacified him with
a big chunk of Rhubarb
& he loved me again!

We have right at 560 sq ft of court yard to floor,
we finished about 100 last night.

Mr Fix its home
with more gravel so
Back to work I go!
