View from our window.........there is no view at the moment



We have a male cardinal that keeps seeing itself in the windows and thinks it's another cardinal.  As they are very territorial it keeps attacking it's reflection and it's driving me potty.  So the woman at the bird store in Orangeville suggested I put up newspaper on the outside of the windows for a couple of weeks to see if that stops him.  You have to put it on the outside as he can still see his reflection if you put it on the inside.  I'll let you know how we get on.

Not sure if you can see these, but we also bought some stickers for the large window as the birds are forever flying into them.  Again you have to put them on the outside of the window.

 I have also made a start on putting on the orange borders on dd quilt, so it's starting to "pop."  There are still the borders between the rows and the outside border to do.

I have 20 blocks more or less done.  They are to trim and square up and borders to be attached.

The borders will be orange so it will "pop."  I hope dd will like it, I think she will.

Dd is doing well with her pregnancy and is nearly 15 weeks along.  The morning sickness seems to have passed (touching wood) and the heart burn has kicked in.  Only another month or so until we will find out if she is having a boy or girl.  So I want to get her quilt done this month before I start on the baby quilt.

I found this site called Wall Pops and think it's really neat:
