Just about to turn the heel on my candy-coated colours of summer sticks of rock socks.
Cushions made from recycled Aran sweaters by my clever sister - cut off the sleeves, neckline and ribbing to form a square and stitch up.
My favourite garden chair - thrown out from someone else's life and come to rest in my garden.
Rustic recycled wooden bench made by my boys for me last spring.
Small good things - precious little pieces of happiness.

Looks like a lovely afternoon. Obviously you're not getting the hurrican winds and rain down there!
You obviously are not getting the heavy showers we've had today - in and out like a yo yo with the washing!! Glad that you are enjoying your recycled chair, bench and cushions - and why wouldn't you they are all lovely!
And aren't the small good things just the best things! :)

P.S. Love those aran cushions!
Love the knitting, the cushions - want to make some too! But the pouches are grabbing my attention! Too cute!
We are enjoying a beautiful late summer day too! Mine hasn't been as peaceful though! I was chasing after 3 kids at the park. It's quiettime now though. I enjoyed catching a peek of a hexiecase and Happy Place bag :)
What a perfect afternoon! Love the chair and cushions and the edible socks. Laura x
Late summer sun and time to do something you enjoy surrounded by things you love, perfect.

It looks so inviting one would just like to step in the picture!
Happiness comes also in small packages...Life is so precious!
Blessings,
Oh I have weather envy! Quite right though, definitely a good idea enjoy it sitting out while it lasts :-).
Love the colours of those socks... bright and cheery to lift the spirits.
Working for an auctioneer as I do my life is filled with previously owned, absolutely useful goodies.
Its a pleasure to see someone with the same desire to recycle and reuse...

Enjoy!!!
I do like the look of your Sunday afternoon. It amuses me to realize that we both rely on that same wonderful sock knitting book. I am just about to turn a heel myself, on what might eventually become a Christmas gift for some deserving feet.
Cheers!
I absolutely love your stick of rock coloured knitting! And the arran jumpers recycled as cushions by your sister is a wonderful idea. I loved the bench too, and the little chair. Hope you had a lovely afternoon, and enjoy the week ahead.

lovely! over here, we installed a new low flow toilet (with the help of an online "how to" video) and scrubbed down the screened porch.
i think a quiet "sit down" in your wicker chair would have been nice, especially if we shared a cup of tea.
someday...
What a lovely post :) xxx
Your sock yarn is gorgeous
I love the colour of those socks!
What a lovely comfortable place to sit in the sunshine.
Sunday is the best day for sitting and knitting (or in my case, crocheting). Wonderful cushions.
Sitting & knitting in the sun- lovely! I can sit, I can si tin the sun, I just need to learn to knit now...
I have a jumper just like that and I find it too heavy to wear. You may have just given me the ideal solution.
I admire anybody who can knit.
